10 Liquefaction of ligno-cellulosic biomass is one of the chemical conversion technologies for 11 developing new materials, adhesives and energy systems. The liquefaction process also 12 provides an opportunity to utilize ligno–cellulosic wastes such as saw-dust, woody wastes, 13 branches and twigs, agro-residues, etc. for the development of value added products. This 14 paper presents the liqu...

We analyze a continuous and discrete symmetries of the maximum lifetime problem in two dimensional sensor networks. We show, how a symmetry of the network and invariance of the problem under a given transformation group G can be utilized to simplify its solution. We prove, that for a G-invariant maximum lifetime problem there exists a G-invariant solution. Constrains which follow from the G-inv...

We construct fundamental domains for arithmetic subgroups of Γ = GL2(Fq [t]). Given ∆ ⊇ Γ(a) we construct a contracted form T of the Bruhat-Tits tree T and a fundamental domain F of ∆ acting on T. We define a lift of F to F ⊂ T called the “bipartite” lift. We show that F is a fundamental domain of ∆ acting on T precisely when F is “∆-compressed.”

Programmatic assessment is an integral approach to the design of an assessment program with the intent to optimise its learning function, its decision-making function and its curriculum quality-assurance function. Individual methods of assessment, purposefully chosen for their alignment with the curriculum outcomes and their information value for the learner, the teacher and the organisation, a...

Purpose appears in all privacy guidelines, codes, policies, and legislations. It plays a central role in many privacy-related systems such as P3P, Hippocratic databases, EPAL, and XACML. We show that the P3P 12 standard purposes mix uses of personal information with acts on personal information and mix uses of personal information privacy with other states of affairs that have several interpret...

The Fulcrum method developed by the author 12 years ago is reviewed in retrospective. The main concept is fulcrums — sentence elements which serve as basic points for analysis, the main procedure is the pass method. The first, simplified version was computerized, the second, having an heuristic component, was ready for realisation. Arguments are given for the theoretical and practical value of ...

It is incumbent on medical schools to show, both to regulatory bodies and to the public at large, that their graduating students are "fit for purpose" as tomorrow's doctors. Since students graduate by virtue of passing assessments, it is vital that schools quality assure their assessment procedures, standards, and outcomes. An important part of this quality assurance process is the appropriate ...
