Over the last decades, bilateral tax agreements, concluded by nearly every jurisdiction in world, have served to prevent harmful double taxation and remove obstacles cross-border trade goods services, movements of capital, technology persons. This extensive network agreements has, however, also given rise so-called “treaty-shopping” arrangements.

Recent developments in Broadband Wireless Access (BWA), caused users to use multimedia, real–time and high bandwidth intensive applications that lead to a new era of research and development in wireless networks. IEEE 802.16 standard has come forward as BWA solution to fulfill the requirements of users. Even though IEEE 802.16 standard defines scheduling service flows and quality of service par...

This paper proposes a new evolutionary region merging method to improve segmentation quality result on oversegmented images. The initial segmented image is described by a modified Region Adjacency Graph model. In a second phase, this graph is successively partitioned in a hierarchical fashion into two subgraphs, corresponding to the two most significant components of the actual image, until a t...

Future wireless networks are expected to support multimedia applications. Wireless links, however, have poor quality and should support host mobility. In this paper, we introduce the concept of a minimum bandwidth guaranteed service as a mobile service. Our service model guarantees only minimum bandwidth with which minimum tolerable quality can be obtained, and shares the leftover bandwidth fai...

Tempelmeier (2007) considers the problem of computing replenishment cycle policy parameters under non-stationary stochastic demand and service level constraints. He analyses two possible service level measures: the minimum no stock-out probability per period (α-service level) and the so called “fill rate”, that is the fraction of demand satisfied immediately from stock on hand (β-service level)...
