Quantitative analysis by powder X-Ray diffraction (Q-PXRD) is hardly ever carried out by simple or obvious methods. Although the theory has been well established for some time (Clark, 1936; Alexander et al., 1948; Chung, 1974, 1975; Brindley, 1980; Bish et al., 1988; etc.), in practice imprecise results are obtained because of experimental oversimplification usually introduced as a result of th...

Five thousand human resource (HR) professionals were surveyed regarding the extent to which they agreed with various HR research findings. Responses from 959 participants suggest that there are large discrepancies between research findings and practitioners’ beliefs in some content areas, especially selection. In particular, practitioners place far less faith in intelligence and personality tes...

The aim of this paper is to complete the concept structure, in structuration theory, with worldview. Giddens' theory emphasizes structure as a result well medium for regularization social practice. It cognition but ignores society. As result, does not explain how practices that produce virtual structures can exist and be practiced continuously society, before are formed agents’ cognition? There...

In this paper the properties of node-node adjacency matrix in acyclic digraphs are considered. It is shown that topological ordering and node-node adjacency matrix are closely related. In fact, first the one to one correspondence between upper triangularity of node-node adjacency matrix and existence of directed cycles in digraphs is proved and then with this correspondence other properties of ...

In a number of methodologies for joint inference across graphs, it is assumed that an explicit vertex correspondence is a priori known across the vertex sets of the graphs. While this assumption is often reasonable, in practice these correspondences may be unobserved and/or errorfully observed, and graph matching—aligning a pair of graphs to minimize their edge disagreements—is used to align th...

We suggest altering the fundamental strategy in Fundamental or Essential Matrix estimation. The traditional approach first estimates correspondences, and then estimates the camera geometry on the basis of those correspondences. Though the second half of this approach is very well developed, such algorithms often fail in practice at the correspondence step. Here, we suggest altering the strategy...

We consider the problem of finding the vertex correspondence between two graphs with different number of vertices where the smaller graph is still potentially large. We propose a solution to this problem via a graph matching matched filter: padding the smaller graph in different ways and then using graph matching methods to align it to the larger network. Under a statistical model for correlate...
