Prüfer transformation is a useful tool for study of second-order ordinary differential equations. There are many possible extensions of the original Prüfer transformation. We focus on a transformation suitable for study of boundary value problems for the p-Laplacian in the resonant case. The purpose of this paper is to establish its basic properties in deep detail.

The PebbleBox and the CrumbleBag are examples of a granular interaction paradigm, in which the manipulation of physical grains of arbitrary material becomes the basis for interacting with granular sound synthesis models. The sounds made by the grains as they are manipulated are analysed, and parameters such as grain rate, grain amplitude and grain density are extracted. These parameters are the...

Two experiments explored the relationship between familiarity, similarity, and attraction. In the first experiment, subjects viewed photographs of faces at various exposure frequencies and then rated them for likeableness and similarity. Familiar people were regarded by the subjects as both more likeable and more similar to themselves. The effects of familiarity on perceived similarity were pri...

Page 1 of 10 file:///Users/sharonargenbright/Desktop/HB%20321/NEJM%20—2011%20.webarchive Cross-sectional studies of hospital-level administrative data have shown an association between lower levels of staffing of registered nurses (RNs) and increased patient mortality. However, such studies have been criticized because they have not shown a direct link between the level of staffing and individu...

This paper provides a quantitative assessment of the theoretical explanation for the rise in the service share in the U.S. posited by Buera and Kaboski (2012a,b). By extending their single household model to a two-person household model, we incorporate a joint household decision on home and market production into the model, which provides a direct link between female labor supply and the growth...

We present a novel approach for detecting, classifying, and linking entities from Twitter posts (tweets). The task is challenging because of the noisy, short, and informal nature of tweets. Consequently, the proposed approach introduces several methods that robustly facilitate successful realization of the task with enhanced performance in several measures.

OBJECTIVE Record linkage to integrate uncoordinated databases is critical in biomedical research using Big Data. Balancing privacy protection against the need for high quality record linkage requires a human-machine hybrid system to safely manage uncertainty in the ever changing streams of chaotic Big Data. METHODS In the computer science literature, private record linkage is the most publish...

BACKGROUND An increasing number of transitions due to substitution of care of more complex patients urges insight in and improvement of transitional medication safety. While lack of documentation of prescription changes and/or lack of information exchange between settings likely cause adverse drug events, frequency of occurrence of these causes is not clear. Therefore, we aimed at determinin...

In this paper we outline the main lines of research for defining a framework based on Linked Open Data (LOD) for supporting knowledge creation in the Cultural Heritage (CH) field with a particular focus on History of Art research. We delineate the main challenges we need to deal with and we explore the state-of-the-art in LOD publishing systems, LOD citation and authority management. Furthermor...
