For any Lie algebra of classical type or type G 2 we define a K-theoretic analog of Dunkl's elements, the so-called truncated Ruijsenaars-Schneider-Macdonald elements, RSM-elements for short, in the corresponding Yang-Baxter group, which form a commuting family of elements in the latter. For the root systems of type A we prove that the subalgebra of the bracket algebra generated by the RSM-elem...

SELF LEARNING STRATEGIES FOR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN ANDRESPONSE SURFACE OPTIMIZATIONby

This paper deals with a tool developed to support training and education in the field of security and safety in work areas, plants, or industrial environments. The tool comprises the dashboards enabling administrators and users to simulate risks and accidents to be ready for interventions in case of occurrence. Based on a computational model of risks, able to identify the causes and the signs w...

Custom microsystems are expensive, innexible, and unsuitable for high-volume production. We address this problem by leveraging hardware/software co-design principles to design reconngurable composite microsystems. We partition the system design parameters into nonre-conngurable and reconngurable categories. In this way, the operational exibility is enhanced and the microsys-tems are designed fo...

Received: April 11, 2016 Revised: August 5, 2016 Accepted: August 9, 2016 Abstract: Background: Recent interest in the health promoting potential of anthocyanins points to the need for robust and reliable analytical methods. It is essential to know that the health promoting chemicals are present in juices and other products processed from whole fruit. Many different methods have been published ...

In this paper we analyze the possibilities of intergenerational risk sharing in a generational DB pension fund. Each generation is subject to discretionary investment, indexation and contribution policies, thereby losing intergenerational diversification gains. Intergenerational risk sharing is repaired by introducing contingent claims on the generational surplus or deficit. We find that in som...

Computer-generated designs in the cube are described which have the minimal (or larger) number of runs for a full quadratic response-surface design. Examples of 2-factor designs are included with 6 to 20 runs, 3-factor designs with 10 to 20 runs, 4-factor designs with 15 to 20 runs, 5-factor designs with 21 to 25 runs, 6-factor designs with 28 to 31 runs, and 7-factor designs with 36 and 39 run...

The attitudes and response of “policy receivers” should be taken into more consideration when governments make regulation policy. This paper discusses the public’s degree of understanding, support willingness, implement willingness, and influence willingness to the policy, as well as the mutually responding scenario by using the quadratic response surface regression analysis from the perspectiv...
