Agent-based auction trading plays an important role in the electronic acquisition of products/service for organization or e-procurement, especially for MRO materials. Effective agent-based trading has multiple benefits, such as reducing inventory levels, and a dual impact of centralizing strategic procurement objectives while decentralizing the operational procurement processes (Puschmann and A...

Throughout this paper, R will represent an associative ring with center Z(R). A ring R is n-torsion free, where n > 1 is an integer, in case nx = 0, x ∈ R implies x = 0. As usual the commutator xy− yx will be denoted by [x, y]. We will use basic commutator identities [xy,z] = [x,z]y + x[y,z] and [x, yz] = [x, y]z+ y[x,z]. Recall that a ring R is prime if aRb = (0) implies that either a = 0 or b...

let $g$ be a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $phi$=$phi(g)$ be the frattini subgroup of $g$. it is shown that the nilpotency class of $autf(g)$, the group of all automorphisms of $g$ centralizing $g/ fr(g)$, takes the maximum value $n-2$ if and only if $g$ is of maximal class. we also determine the nilpotency class of $autf(g)$ when $g$ is a finite abelian $p$-group.

Law school training has a certain centralizing, homogenizing, tendency . . . Centrism pulls to the center, not because the center has any particular content, but because, well . . . it is the center . . . [I]n the American law schools a particular school of jurisprudence has already won out. The triumph of this school of thought is so complete, so pervasive, that it is not even seen as a school...

Let $G$ be a $p$-group of order $p^n$ and $Phi$=$Phi(G)$ be the Frattini subgroup of $G$. It is shown that the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$, the group of all automorphisms of $G$ centralizing $G/ Fr(G)$, takes the maximum value $n-2$ if and only if $G$ is of maximal class. We also determine the nilpotency class of $Autf(G)$ when $G$ is a finite abelian $p$-group.
