The function GrpSeqBnds computes efficacy and futility boundaries given the stipulation of the information fraction, total type I and type II error probabilities and method of boundary construction. The efficacy and futility boundaries can be constructed either simulataneously or one at a time. The function also allows for two information scales. The following sequence of variance fractions res...

In Wehmeier (2004) we are presented with the subjunctive modal language, a way of dealing with the expressive inadequacy of modal logic by marking atomic predicates as being either in the subjunctive or indicative mood. Wehmeier claims that this language is expressively equivalent to the standard actuality language, and that despite this the markedunmarked dichotomies are not the same in the tw...

This work studies the problem of information divergence estimation based on datadependent partitions. A histogram-based data-dependent estimate is proposed adopting a version of Barron-type histogram-based estimate. The main result is the stipulation of sufficient conditions on the partition scheme to make the estimate strongly consistent. Furthermore, when the distributions are equipped with d...

N are often conducted under the stipulation that an impasse is to be resolved using final-offer arbitration (FOA). In fact, FOA frequently is not needed; in Major League Baseball, for instance, more than 80% of the salary negotiations that could go to arbitration instead reach a bargained agreement. We show that the risk aversion of at least one side explains this phenomenon. We then model pay ...

A recent judgment of the Lands Tribunal has set an important precedent which should decrease the potential for restrictive covenants to thwart the development of the government's care in the community programme. In 1989 a Worthing couple were permitted to convert their own house into a residential care home for former psychiatric patients. Judge B Marder, QC, ruled on 12 January 1993 that the "...

Today, real-time processing has become a stipulation in all practical fields especially in image processing. This paper presents an experimental comparison of implementation of Niblack’s Algorithm, a binarization algorithm for image-processing in Visual C++ using OpenCV library with its implementation on FPGA. It aims at addressing the real-time processing scenario and how to overcome the situa...

This essay offers an interpretation of Aristotle's remarks on the commensurability of goods in Book V of the Nicomachean Ethics. It explores the term ‘by hypothesis’ (ἐξ ὑποθέσεως) which Aristotle uses to describe the institution of currency through which commensurability is established. The term implies that Aristotle conceives the origins of currency to lie in a conscious act of stipulation r...

The General Election (Pemilu) is a democratic party held every 5 (five) years, the Supervisor (Bawaslu) has an important role in electoral process disputes that occur between election participants and organizers, as result of stipulation Decisions and/or Official Report KPU which considered detrimental to rights participants. Bawaslu's accept disputes, mediate parties, if mediation no agreement...

The urgent stipulation is to manufacture CNTs of desired properties and dimensions. The heart of this yearning lies in understanding the growth and assembly methods of CNTs, which are not yet clear. In this study, hence, we concentrate on the synthesis and assemblage, pointing out the parameters, issues, and limitations of the available techniques. While there have been many interesting and suc...
