The intrinsic volumes of a convex cone are geometric functionals that return basic structural information about the cone. Recent research has demonstrated that conic intrinsic volumes are valuable for understanding the behavior of random convex optimization problems. This paper develops a systematic technique for studying conic intrinsic volumes using methods from probability. At the heart of t...

The current regulatory trend towards accepting intrinsic bioremediation as a long-term management scheme for residual organic pollutants in the subsurface for fuel spills is based on statistical evaluations of plume behavior for a limited array of pollutants. The effectiveness of intrinsic bioremediation towards protecting water supplies, and hence human health, is not known for many pollutants...

In this paper, we present an extensive study about the influence and the behavior of the intrinsic camera calibration imprecisions and their propagation into the extrinsic calibration between a camera and a multi-layer lidar. Usually, the extrinsic calibration process involves the pose estimation of a reference object in the Cartesian frame of each sensor. From this fact, it is necessary to kno...

Previous literature on religion and sexual behavior has focused on narrow definitions of religiosity, including religious affiliation, religious participation, or forms of religiousness (e.g., intrinsic religiosity). Trends toward more permissive premarital sexual activity in the North American Christian-Judeo religion support the secularization hypothesis of religion, which posits an increasin...

researchers are of the belief that employee voice has favorable effects for both the employee and the organization. however, the effect of employee voice on creativity, and the process through which it influences creativity, has hitherto received little attention. this study aimed at investigating the relationship between perceived employee voice and creativity. employees of three premier dairy...

In this note, we want to show (a) how the statistics of synaptic input influences the read-out of stored intrinsic properties for two-dimensional model neurons and (b) the effects of network topology on synchronization, i.e. the correlations of synaptic input generated in the network. This theoretical work relates to the biological properties of neuromodulation by presynaptic and postsynaptic e...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether organizational support for innovation and informational extrinsic rewards moderate the relationship between intrinsic motivation innovative work behavior. Design/methodology/approach Multiple hierarchical regression analyses based on data from 150 knowledge workers tested hypotheses a South African sample. Findings results confirmed po...

In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of cysteine is described, using carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) modified with ternary silver-copper sulfide containing intrinsic silver at two pH values (pH 3 and 5). Experiments have revealed that presence has a large impact on CPEs. Observed phenomena take place in solution, as well surface CPEs, can be applied for electroanalytical purposes. Based o...
