This paper shows how a computer-processable document can be written in a controlled natural language (PENG) with the help of a sophisticated lookahead editor (ECOLE). The editor provides syntactic hints after each word form entered and indicates how the author can continue the text. This way the author does not need to learn or to remember the restrictions of the controlled language. PENG docum...

Since Pardoux and Peng firstly studied the following nonlinear backward stochastic differential equations in 1990. The theory of BSDE has been widely studied and applied, especially in the stochastic control, stochastic differential games, financial mathematics and partial differential equations. In 1994, Pardoux and Peng came up with backward doubly stochastic differential equations to give th...

The south-east Asian genus Eupoa is redescribed and diagnosed. Seven new species are diagnosed, described and illustrated: E. daklak sp. n. (♀) from Viet-Nam; E. lehtineni sp. n. (♂♀) from India, Thailand and Viet-Nam; E. lobli sp. n. (♂) from Malaysia; E. pappi sp. n. (♂) from Thailand; E. pulchella sp. n.(♂) from Thailand; E. schwendingeri sp. n. (♂♀) from Thailand; and E. thailandica sp. n. ...

Implantable nanogenerators are rapidly advanced recently as a promising concept for harvesting biomechanical energy in vivo. This review article presents an overview of the most current progress of implantable piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) and triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) with a focus on materials selection, engineering, and assembly. The evolution of the PENG materials is discussed ...

The density and viscosity values at T= (293.15 to 323.15) K for binary mixtures of nitromethane with 2-propanol, 2-butanol and 2-pentanol were measured over the entire composition range. From the experimental data, excess molar volumes, thermal expansion coefficients, excess thermal expansions, partial molar volumes at infinite dilution and deviations in viscosity were calculated. The results w...

How do you aggregate the preferences of multiple agents in a fair manner? This is a question that has occupied researchers for several centuries. Suppose we have k voters who each give their preferences on n candidates. How should the candidates be ranked to best represent the input? Marquis de Condorcet [5] showed that there may not exist a “winner”: a candidate who beats all other candidates ...

The Springer-Praxis Popular Astronomy programme covers the latest observations, techniques and discoveries in astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology, selecting key topics designed to fire the imagination of keen astronomers everywhere. Many of the topics selected for titles in this programme are refreshingly new, and away from the accepted mainstream of titles published in this area. Topics inc...

that the dynamic psychology of human behaviour has a part to play in the interpretation and understanding of that behaviour, and an important function in solving its inter-personal inter-national and social aberrations, then we must take note of this growing demand for "popular" knowledge. We must be prepared to put over our knowledge in a way that is helpful and understanding, yet stimulating ...
