Rick Lugg, Partner at R2 Consulting, has several years of experience with Yankee Book Peddler and consultant to academic and research libraries, library consortia and other library organizations. R2 has had a significant impact throughout the lib...

ABSTRACT This paper highlights the fact that neoclassical theory cannot explain process of economic change. In an uncertain and ever-changing world, a based on static equilibrium models is little help. Whereas we have placed institutions at centre understanding systems, since they constitute their incentive structure. Thus, change largely intentional created by individuals’ perceptions conseque...

Safe and optimal path planning in a cluttered changing environment for agents’ movement is an area of research, which needs further investigations. The existing methods are able to generated secure trajectories, but they are not efficient enough to learn from their mistakes, especially when dynamics of the environment are concerned. This paper presents an advanced version of the Ant-Air algorit...

Eukaryotic cells are often exposed to fluctuations in growth conditions as well as endogenous and exogenous stress-related agents. During development, global patterns of gene transcription change substantially, and these changes are associated with altered patterns of DNA replication and larger distances between replication origins in somatic cells compared to embryos. Conversely, when cells ex...

With rapid development of the Internet of Things, more and more smart devices are deployed in the physical space. A physical application is composed by several smart devices which provide physical data. The physical applications need appropriate physical information processing systems to process the related data. However, the physical applications are dynamic because of the ever-changing demand...

ABSTRACT Classical training theory is deeply influenced by a mechanical conception and a Cartesian view of athletes. Although the natural limitations of this classical approach are recognized, training methods are largely based on it. Nowadays, Dynamic Systems Theory is offering new tools to explain the behavior of the neuromuscular system and very useful principles to be applied to sports trai...
