There are currently some ontologies of business collaboration that facilitate automated collaboration, such as evalue, REA, and BMO. However, these ontologies model the situation that all business actors can be trusted. This is not true in practice. To realize automated business collaboration, trust needs to be added to the business ontology. In this paper, we extend the evalue ontology with th...

We study large scale extended trust region subproblems (eTRS) i.e., the minimization of a general quadratic function subject to a norm constraint, known as the trust region subproblem (TRS) but with an additional linear inequality constraint. It is well known that strong duality holds for the TRS and that there are efficient algorithms for solving large scale TRS problems. It is also known that...

Let Pn,r(x) be the generalized weighted power means. We consider bounds for the differences of means in the following form: max { Cu,v,β x 1 , Cu,v,β x n } σn,w′,β ≥ P n,u − P n,v α ≥ min { Cu,v,β x 1 , Cu,v,β x n } σn,w,β . Here β 6= 0, σn,t,β( x) = ∑n i=1 ωi[x β i −P β n,t(x)] andCu,v,β = u−v 2β2 . Some similar inequalities are also considered. The results are applied to inequalities of Ky Fa...

Trust and reputation techniques have offered favorable solutions to the web service selection problem. In distributed systems, service consumers identify pools of service providers that offer similar functionalities. Therefore, the selection task is mostly influenced by the non-functional requirements of the consumers captured by a varied number of QoS metrics. In this paper, we present a QoS-a...

Information retrieval may suggest a document, and information extraction may tell us what it says, but which information sources do we trust and which assertions do we believe when different authors make conflicting claims? Trust algorithms known as fact-finders attempt to answer these questions, but consider only which source makes which claim, ignoring a wealth of background knowledge and con...

Our aim in this paper is to introduce some idea about generalized relative Nevanlinna order (α,β) and type of an analytic function with respect another the unit disc where α β are continuous non-negative functions on (-∞,+∞). So we discuss growth properties relating composition two basis as compared their corresponding left right factors.

Purpose- This study aimed to examine the predictive role of organizational-based self-esteem and organizational identification on turnover intention while also studying mediating effect trust among employees across five organizations. Design/Methodology- utilized cross-sectional research design quantitative approach for data collection. The sample comprises 131 drawn from organizations with a m...

At the end of 2010, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) used its emergency scheduling authority to temporarily control five chemicals, JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH-200, CP-47497, and cannabicyclohexanol (CP-47497 C8), often referred to as "Spice", K2, or "synthetic cannabinoids" because of their reported cannabis-like effects. JWH-250 is commonly encountered, and HU-210 was already controll...

This article is a presentation of a clinical methodology aimed at minimizing binding in fixed orthodontic appliances. The dynforce archwire is explained. The dynforce archwire has a full size anterior segment (e.g. .021×.025) and undersized posterior segments with rectangular cross-section (e.g. .018×.025 or .018×.022), and is used in the orthodontic phase of space closure with or without TAD m...
