We present a new technique for the simultaneous visualization of an arbitrary number of scalar fields defined on a surface. The technique is called Generalized Atmosphere Upper Bound Level (GAUBL), since it is an evolution of our previous AUBL technique, that allowed for the visualization of a single scalar field. The generalized AUBL can highlight the dependencies and interactions between many...

This brief survey deals with multi-dimensional Diophantine approximations in sense of linear form and with simultaneous Diophantine approximations. We discuss the phenomenon of degenerate dimension of linear sub-spaces generated by the best Diophantine approximations. Originally most of these results have been established by the author in [14, 15, 16, 17, 18]. Here we collect all of them togeth...

We consider solutions of normal form games that are invariant under strategic equivalence. We consider additional properties that can be expected (or be desired) from a solution of a game, and we observe the following: • Even the weakest notion of individual rationality restricts the set of solutions to be equilibria. This observation holds for all types of solutions: in pure-strategies, in mix...

This paper aims to provide a non-technical introduction into the SVAR methodology. Particular emphasize is put on the approach to identification in SVAR models, which is compared to identification in simultaneous equation models. It is shown that SVAR models are useful tools to analyze the dynamics of a model by subjecting it to an unexpected shock, whereas simultaneous equation models are bett...

FinTech play a pivotal role in facilitating access to financial products and services. At the moment, the country characteristics that facilitate the use of FinTech are not adequately identified in the literature. This paper attempts to contribute to the understanding of which country characteristics facilitate the use of FinTech and how FinTech can drive sustainable economic development. Based...

This paper suggests how a MNC subsidiary’s knowledge outflow can influence its performance. We distinguish between direct costs and opportunity costs. Direct costs are contingent on knowledge types and the lack of appropriate communication channels. Opportunity costs are due to resource-use for knowledge outflows that could have been utilized for the subsidiary’s own business and development ac...

The kin term product calculations used by culture-bearers to compute kin relationships from kin terms without reference to genealogy are the basis for the structure of a kinship terminology and its underlying generative logic. The details of that logic account for differences in the structural forms for kinship terminologies. The structural form of the Polynesian kinship terminologies, like tha...

We propose a simultaneous equation system with GARCHX errors to model the contemporaneous relations among Asian and American stock markets. We thus evaluate the correlation matrix over rolling windows and introduce a correlation matrix distance which allows a simple graphical analysis of contagion. The empirical analysis on Asian and American stock markets shows some evidences of contagion.

According to Halliday (1967), there is a ban on simultaneous resultative and depictive modification in English. It is here observed that such a ban is not general, but instead restricted to certain examples of modification with abnormal theta relations, which are commonly found in the resultative construction. Otherwise, simultaneous resultative/depictive modification is possible. An account of...
