Abstract We give some adequate extension, in the framework of a general Lévy process, of our previous construction of processes with one-dimensional martingale marginals, done originally in the set-up of Brownian motion. The Lévy process framework allows us to streamline our previous arguments, as well as to reach a larger class of such processes, even in the Brownian case. We give some illustr...

Business Process Management (BPM) maximizes firm performance by transforming isolated functional activities into streamlined, cross-functional processes. Being a relatively new discipline, disagreement exists regarding the position structure and qualifications required for success. However, certain individual differences have been associated with job performance, both in general and for specifi...

Efficient communication is the basis of an implementation of a parallel language on a distributed machine architecture. This article handles about the communication mechanism that is needed to support parallel graph rewriting in Concurrent Clean. The danger of deadlock is imminent at several levels of such a system. Communication problems and their solutions are closely related to memory manage...

Through a technalysis of a group of designers constructing a three-dimensional virtual world we suggest new concepts for understanding our relationship to information technology. By conceptualizing information technology as the organizing structure for social interaction and regarding it as an influential mediator and moderator of human experiences, we arrive at a new perspective that reaches b...

Background: hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is still a controversial therapy, its effects over cardiovascular system being contradictory. Methods and material: we evaluated the HRT’s effects on cardiovascular risk factors on a 238 women (38 with and 200 without HRT) sample, between April 2007 and April 2008. For every woman, we investigated the cardiovascular risk factors’ presence. Results: ...
