ABSTRACT It is common for community-based free software projects to be associated with an organizational scenario that resembles “a bazaar more than a cathedral,” and differ from the traditional, or ‘bureaucratic’ way of organizing work. This paper analyzes governance these organizations perspective their structure control, considering development trajectory three in Brazil. Results show consta...

IN 1955 Vakil reported the presence of an abnormal outward precordial pulsation in patients with myocardial infarction.1 The kinetocardiogram (graphic representation of low-frequency displacement precordial movements) offers a means by which these changes can be objectively evaluated. Thus, a number of reports have defined some of the abnormalities of precordial pulsations encountered in these ...

This article introduces mixed double Hurwitz numbers, which interpolate combinatorially between the classical double Hurwitz numbers studied by Okounkov and the monotone double Hurwitz numbers introduced recently by Goulden, Guay-Paquet and Novak. Generalizing a result of Okounkov, we prove that a certain generating series for the mixed double Hurwitz numbers solves the 2-Toda hierarchy of part...

Topic modeling of fashion trends were analyzed using the MALLET toolkit. Harper’s Bazaar magazines from 1860-1899 were used (freely available online). This resulted in 20 topics with 4 characterizing words each. Trends over time were analyzed in several different ways using 100-topics and 20-topics.

We develop a formalism for relative Gromov-Witten invariants following Li [14, 15] that is analogous to the Symplectic Field Theory of Eliashberg, Givental, and Hofer [2]. This formalism allows us to express natural degeneration formulae in terms of generating functions and re-derive the formulae of Caporaso-Harris [1], Ran [19], and Vakil [21]. In addition, our framework gives a homology theor...

the increase of incomes in irans endowents (waqfs) could have an outstanding role in providing a part of public services needed in the society and betterment of income distribution and as a result endowers and benefactors would play a part in meeting greater portion of these services. materializing this objective requires an all-out development of endowment (waqt) services as wall as better ope...
