ing away from responsibility factor allows us to simplify the MMR model laid out in section 2. The value of the outcome x to the subject and counterfactual outcome y to the “other” can now be written as: V i (x, y) = u(x) + G i ( x y ) [5] for i=0,1 where G is the function relevant in the private and G 1 in the social environments. Using simplified version of MMR our hypotheses for the BOLD sig...

Query-specific summarization of multiple documents is a useful task in the current day context of the WWW, that is containing huge amount of information. When different summarizers have access to different sets of documents for a query, generating a summary of the summaries produced by the multiple summarizers becomes an interesting and useful task. In this paper, we propose an efficient soluti...

We discuss the generation of curvilinear composite overlapping grids and the numerical solution of partial differential equations on them. A composite overlapping grid consists of a set of curvilinear component grids that cover a region and overlap where they meet. Continuity conditions (interpolation) are imposed at the overlapping boundaries. The principal advantage of composite grids is in t...

For many design applications, where multiple primary surface pieces meet, the distribution of curvature is more important than formally achieving exact curvature continuity. For parametric spline surfaces, when constructing a multi-sided surface cap, we demonstrate a strong link between the uniform variation of the re-parameterization between (boundary) data of the joining pieces and a desirabl...

In essence, there is a big rift between uncertain, approximate, or analogical information and certain, precise, or deterministic information. They reflect two aspects of information: continuity and discreteness, or infiniteness and finiteness. Moreover, uncertainty and certainty constitute the basics of information and cannot be separated. They represent a dual property or dialectic contradicti...
