Triangulated categories were introduced independently in algebraic geometry by Verdier [7, 8], based on ideas of Grothendieck, and in algebraic topology by Puppe [6]. These constructions have since played a crucial role in representation theory, algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, algebraic topology and other areas of mathematics (and even theoretical physics). Recently, Geiss, Keller and ...

The one-state reality has dramatically changed the discursive landscape of movement Israeli settlers and their supporters who have waged a half century campaign to prevent territorial compromise as basis for Israeli-Palestinian peace. Analysis discourse Sovereignty movement, reflected in pages its journal, Ribonut , traces these changes highlights new challenges posed annexationist project by p...

Israeli counterinsurgency doctrine holds that the persistent use of credible threat and disproportionate military force results in repeated victories that eventually teach the enemy the futility of aggression. The doctrine thus endorses classical rational choice theory's claim that narrow cost-benefit calculations shape fixed action rationales. This paper assesses whether Israel's strategic pra...

the current status and quality of urban and regional development has been criticized by many academics and professionals in different fields. at city centers in addition to traffic congestion, population growth, urban and regional sprawl and suburbanization have resulted in unsustainable conditions in many cities all around the world. in this regard, different aspects of urban form, especially ...

This paper considers matching problems with hierarchical regional minimum quotas. Although such quotas are relevant in many real-world settings, it is known that nonwastefulness and fairness (which compose stability) are incompatible when minimum quotas are imposed. We develop a new strategy-proof nonwasteful mechanism called Adaptive Deferred Acceptance with Regional minimum Quotas (ADARQ), wh...

The 1 French-Israeli International Conference on B Cells and Therapeutic Antibodies, organized by Reuven Laskov (Israel), Jean-Luc Teillaud (France) and Claude-Agnès Reynaud (France) under the auspices of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University Paris Descartes, was held October 23–25, 2011 in Jerusalem, Israel. The conference featured 36 presentations and a dozen posters. It inclu...

The arrangement of a nite collection of geometric objects is the decomposition of the space into connected cells induced by them. We survey combinatorial and algorithmic properties of arrangements of arcs in the plane and of surface patches in higher dimensions. We present many applications of arrangements to problems in motion planning, visualization, range searching, molecular modeling, and g...

To improve crop model performance for regional crop yield estimates, a new four-dimensional variational algorithm (POD4DVar) merging the Monte Carlo and proper orthogonal decomposition techniques was introduced to develop a data assimilation strategy using the Crop Environment Resource Synthesis (CERES)-Wheat model. Two winter wheat yield estimation procedures were conducted on a field plot and...
