After more than a decade of a virtual standstill, the adoption of temporal data management features has recently picked up speed, driven by customer demand and the inclusion of temporal expressions into SQL:2011. Most of the big commercial DBMS now include support for bitemporal data and operators. In this paper, we perform a thorough analysis of these commercial temporal DBMS: We investigate t...

Ignorance of the culture and traditions of immigrants leads to misunderstanding and is a factor in mental illness among people whose new home seems intimidating as Dr. Farrukh Hashmi, a psychiatrist and a member of the Midlands Race Relations Board, explains. an immigrant was taken to a mental hospital because he was said to have been aggressive, had been shouting at his family, and he had thre...

In this paper we show that in pure exchange economies there exists no Pareto efficient and strategy-proof allocation mechanism which ensures positive consumptions to all agents. We also show that Pareto efficient, strategy-proof, and non-bossy allocation mechanism is dictatorial. We further show that if there exists three agents, then the allocation given by a Pareto efficient, strategy-proof, ...

Amiracarus pliocennatus n. gen., n. sp. is described based on fossils found in Pliocene and Pleistocene clastic sediments in caves of the Slovenian Classical Karst (Kras). Diagnosis and relationships of the new genus are given and relationships within the extant species of the genus are discussed as well as variability and reliability of some characters, used for species differentiation. Amirac...

Recent work in the collections at the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research collections in Wellington has yielded 14 new diastylid species in five genera, Colurostylis whitireia n. sp., Diastylis acanthoelachys n. sp., D. adaioacanthus n. sp., D. curtain n. sp., D. dasys n. sp., D. enodis n. sp., D. homoacanthus n. sp., D. implanus n. sp., D. spinacellulosus n. sp., D...

, The behavior of an energetic solid subjected to shear is modelled. Data from torsional split-Hopkinson bar (TSHB) experiments are first reduced to calibrate a constitutive model for stress, accounting for the effects of strain and strain rate hardening, in an inert simulant, Mock 900-20, of the high explosive LX-14. This stress model is employed in a transient one dimensional model which incl...
