remains an important goal in the lives of many people and is postponed rather than foregone altogether (Noack et al cohabitation challenges the hegemony of the legal and social institution of marriage as it increasingly enters the sphere of reproduction (Smock, 2000). Marriage seems increasingly decoupled from the childbearing process which suggests that cohabitation becomes more relevant as a ...

This paper presents an asynchronous implementation of a failure detector for unknown and mobile networks. Our approach does not rely on timers. Neither the composition nor the number of nodes in the system are known. Our algorithm can implement failure detectors of class ♦S when behavioral properties and connectivity conditions are satisfied by the underlying system.

For the moduli stacks of α-stable curves defined in [AFSv14], we prove nefness of natural log canonical divisors generalizing a well-known result of Cornalba and Harris for Mg,n. We deduce the projectivity of the good moduli spaces of α-stable curves and identify these moduli spaces with the log canonical models of Mg,n.

We use techniques for lower bounds on communication to derive necessary conditions (in terms of detector efficiency or amount of superluminal communication) for being able to reproduce the quantum correlations occurring in Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-type experiments with classical local hidden-variable theories. As an application, we consider n parties sharing a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type st...

In this paper, we present a scheme for vehicle detection and tracking in video. The proposed method effectively combines statistical knowledge about the class of vehicles with motion information. The unknown distribution of the image patterns of vehicles is approximately modeled using higherorder statistical information derived from sample images. Statistical information about the background is...

This paper gives an overview of the different levels of sensor processing complexity found in forcecontrolled tasks, and explains which techniques from Bayesian probability theory are appropriate to cope with uncertainties and missing information at each of the different levels. The paper reduces all approaches for “intelligent” compliant motion sensor processing to a basic set of just four cla...
