As long as technological and social innovation and change continue at the current rapid pace, the profile of the ideal IS graduate and perfect undergraduate IS curriculum will remain open for debate. What is, however, gaining more general acceptance across many professions and disciplines including IS, is the need for university graduates who are ready and able to embrace and succeed in self-di...

Probabilistic methods involving maximum-likelihood parameter estimation have become a powerful tool in computational crystallography. At the centre of these methods are the relevant probability distributions. Here, equations are developed based on the complex multivariate normal distribution that generalize the distributions currently used in maximum-likelihood model and heavy-atom refinement. ...

This paper describes an architecture of the source retrieval system used at PAN 2014 lab on uncovering plagiarism, authorship, and social software misuse. The system is based on the systems used in past years at PAN 13 [6] and PAN 12 [5]. The majority of features were adapted with some improvements described in this paper. The source retrieval subsystem forms an integral part of a modern system...

Confirming a conjecture by Ivančo and Jendrol’ for a large class of graphs we prove that for every graph G = (V,E) of order n, size m and maximum degree ∆ with m > 111000∆ there is a function f : V ∪ E → { 1, 2, ..., ⌈ m+2 3 ⌉} such that f(u) + f(uv) + f(v) 6= f(u′) + f(u′v′) + f(v′) for every uv, u′v′ ∈ E with uv 6= u′v′. Furthermore, we prove the existence of such a function with values up to...

A speech production experiment was conducted to investigate how well native Japanese speakers can produce a non-contrastive sound in American English, namely, intervocalic alveolar flaps, and how their production varies as a function of language experience. Native Japanese speakers who have prior experience living in the US produced English sentences containing potentially flappable segments. R...

We study a relativistic anyon model with a spin-j matter field minimally coupled to a statistical gauge potential governed by the Chern-Simons dynamics with a statistical parameter α. A spin and statistics transmutation is shown in terms of a continuous random walk method. An integer or odd-half-integer part of α can be reabsorbed by change of j. We discuss the equivalence of a large class of (...

One can prove the following propositions: (1) For all real numbers a, b and for every natural number c holds (ab ) c = a c bc . (2) For every real number a and for all integer numbers b, c such that a 6= 0 holds ab+c = ab · ac. (3) For every natural number n and for every real number a such that n is even and a 6= 0 holds (−a)n = an. (4) For every natural number n and for every real number a su...
