Let X be a definable C manifold, Y1, Y2 definably compact definable C r submanifolds of X such that dimY1 + dimY2 < dimX and Y1 has a trivial normal bundle. We prove that there exists a definable isotopy {hp}p∈J such that h0 = idX and h1(Y1) ∩ Y2 = ∅. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 14P10, 14P20, 58A05, 03C64.

Project-based learning is an essential part of a software engineer's education. The learning achieved through projects can be improved through structured interaction between more experienced students and those students encountering their rst software engineering project. In this paper, we report on our experience over three years with trials of several forms of interaction between undergraduate...

Future system development and management efforts must strive to institutionalize these gains and provide ongoing, incremental improvement in these areas. With the growth of e-commerce and further socioeconomic reliance on IT, the organizations that have achieved these gains will be well positioned to outdistance those who were less aggressive. Figure 1 depicts the silver linings and competitive...

Y2K presented a formidable (albeit welldefined) challenge: find the date problems and fix them (see our “Congratulations” in the accompanying sidebar). Post-Y2K presents a more formidable challenge: a...

Mainstream Information Technology professionals have misunderstood the Pick environment for many years.
