An index is proposed that is based on the h-index and a 3-year publication/citation window. When updated regularly, it shows the current scientific performance of researchers rather than their life-time achievement as indicated by common scientometric indicators. In this respect, the new rating scheme resembles established sports ratings such as in chess or tennis. By the example of ACM SIGMOD ...

some new remedy, with a scientific name too unwieldy for ordinary use, and too often a value inversely as the length of its chemical formula, it is a novelty to note the reviving reputation of a long-known simple chemical element. Oxygen is not now for the first time associated with medicine. The most important of all the elements was not likely to escape the notice of the inquiring scientific ...

If U and V are topologies on an abstract set X, then the triple (X, U, V) is a bitopological space. Using the theorem of Priestley on the representation of distributive lattices, results of Dilworth concerning the normal completion of the lattice of bounded, continuous, realvalued functions on a topological space are extended to include the lattice of bounded, semi-continuous, real-valued funct...

of anatomical specimens, housed in his Museum in Leicester Square and guarded by young William Clift. Matthew Baillie and Everard Home, the executors of Hunter's Will, enlisted the help of Lord Auckland and Sir Joseph Banks (the President of the Royal Society), and by their influence a Committee of the House of Commons was appointed and the result was that the Government granted £15,000 to purc...

1. A simple method is described for measuring the hydrogen concentration in alveolar air by end-expiratory sampling, by using a modified Haldane-Priestley tube and gas chromatography. Hydrogen was generated in vivo by ingestion of the non-absorbable sugar lactulose. 2. Alveolar hydrogen concentration showed a highly significant correlation with hydrogen production measured either by a rebreathi...

In this paper we prove the asymptotic normality and rates of strong convergence of some types of estimators for the regression function in a xed-design regression model. We consider the Gasser-MMller estimator and the Priestley-Chao estimator (univariate and multivariate). The proofs of asymptotic normality are based on a central limit theorem from an earlier paper by the author (1996, Stochast...

In this paper we present a method for automated theorem proving in non-classical logics having as algebraic models bounded distributive lattices with certain types of operators. The idea is to use a Priestley-style representation for distributive lattices with operators in order to define a class of Kripke-style models with respect to which the logic is sound and complete. If this class of Krip...

We introduce a new Priestley-style topological duality for N4-lattices, which are the algebraic counterpart of paraconsistent Nelson logic. Our duality differs from the existing one, due to S. Odintsov, in that we only rely on Esakia duality for Heyting algebras and not on the duality for De Morgan algebras of Cornish and Fowler. A major advantage of our approach is that we obtain a simple desc...

We classify all one-point order-compactifications of a noncompact locally compact order-Hausdorff ordered topological space X. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a one-point order-compactification of X to be a Priestley space. We show that although among the one-point order-compactifications of X there may not be a least one, there always is a largest one, which coincides with the...

We derive some asymptotics for a new approach to curve estimation proposed by Mrázek et al. [3] which combines localization and regularization. This methodology has been considered as the basis of a unified framework covering various different smoothing methods in the analogous two-dimensional problem of image denoising. As a first step for understanding this approach theoretically, we restrict...
