A flow reactor for material processing monitored and controlled by a tri-stimulus chromaticity sensor is described by a generalized net. The GN model incorporates knowledge-based decision making that uses results of intuitionistic fuzzy sets evaluation of the chromaticity signal.

Adapting methods from complex system analysis, this paper analyzes the features of the complex relationship between wage inequality and the development and industrialization of a country. Development is understood as a combination of a monetary index, GDP per capita, and a recently introduced measure of a country's economic complexity: Fitness. Initially the paper looks at wage inequality on a ...

We investigate trace functions of modules for vertex operator algebras satisfying C2-cofiniteness. For the modular invariance property, Zhu assumed two conditions in [Zh]: A(V ) is semisimple and C2-cofiniteness. We show that C2-cofiniteness is enough to prove a modular invariance property. For example, if a VOA V is C2cofinite, then the space spanned by generalized characters (pseudo-trace fun...

As Clifford Geertz remarked in his Islam Observed (1968), the idea of a ‘changing’ religion is a contradiction in terms, as religion is fundamentally concerned with what is permanent and eternal. Still, one way to come to terms with religious change is to consider the many ways that religion is interpreted, by laymen and scholars alike. Social anthropologists like myself have naturally found a ...

Graph Neuron (GN) is a network-centric algorithm which envisages a stable and structured network of tiny devices as the platform for parallel distributed pattern recognition. However, the unstructured and often dynamic topology of a wireless sensor network (WSN) does not allow deployment of such applications. In this paper, using GN as a testbed application, we show that a simple virtual topolo...

We build a unique industry-level panel data set to estimate border effects with respect to U.S.Canada trade for each year from 1992 to 2005. Estimates from data aggregated at the province/state level yield border effects in the early 1990s that increase slightly and then decline after the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), but significantly increase after 2001. R...

'If I only had the right information, I could make an informed decision'. How often have you heard that comment? With the information technology currently at our disposal, one would think that the right information would be available and that all decisions would be sound. However, users must still determine what data provides valuable information and what are the limitations of the soundness of...
