Introduction. The semi–dynamical systems were introduced in the framework of the axiomatic potential theory by H m i s s i [5] and, in the more general form used in this note, by B u c u r – B e z z a r g a [1], [2]. The present paper is a natural continuation of [8] and represents the printed form of the technical report [9]. The notion of morphism was introduced in potential theory in [6], se...

We deploy a mechanism design approach for allocating a divisible commodity (electricity in our example) among consumers. We consider each consumer with an associated personal valuation function of the energy resource during a certain time interval. We aim to select the optimal consumption profile for every user avoiding consumption peaks when the total required energy could exceed the energy pr...

One way to construct semantic representations in a robust manner is to enhance shallow language processors with semantic components. Here, we provide a model theory for a semantic formalism that is designed for this, namely Robust Minimal Recursion Semantics (RMRS). We show that RMRS supports a notion of entailment that allows it to form the basis for comparing the semantic output of different ...

In component-based systems, a number of existing software components are combined in order to achieve business goals. Some of such goals may include system-level (global) timing requirements (GTR). It is essential to refine GTR into a set of component-level (local) timing requirements (LTRs) so that if a set of candidate components collectively meets them, then the corresponding GTR is also sat...

− This paper presents the implementation of a measurement uncertainty assessment guideline applicable to laboratory assessors. Measurement uncertainty is a relevant subject for all laboratories as well as for accreditation bodies since it consists in an elementary requirement for ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. Therefore, it is crucial to assure that all technical assessors have an adequate level ...

This study positions itself within the mixed results of remittances for migrant women’s empowerment, exploring power dynamics an under-researched diaspora - Ecuadorian women in England who engage transnational Remittance Management Relations (RMRs). Two contributions are made. First, embracing Gender Geographies Power framework, this paper argues that needs to be conceptualised as a dynamic and...

Inadomi, MD, AGAF, Nicholas J. Shaheen, MD, MPH, AGAF), the chair of the Medical Position Panel (John I. Allen, MD, MBA, AGAF), the chair of the AGA Institute Practice Management and Economics Committee and the AGA Instit...

When a guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane is placed in an interproximal area, adjustment of the membrane is difficult because of the complex anatomy of the root surface and presence of bone defects, thus prolonging the surgery. This report describes the clinical application of cone beam computed tomography (CT) images to aid insertion of a barrier membrane in the treatment of interproxim...

BACKGROUND Indications for external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for atypical meningiomas (AMs) remain unclear. OBJECTIVE To analyze features associated with recurrence in AM patients after gross total resection (GTR) and to assess the relative benefit of EBRT in a retrospective cohort study. METHODS One hundred fifty-one primary AMs after GTR (88 female patients; median follow-up, 45.0 mo...
