For positive constants c and d, the coefficients t and b will always assume values between 0 and 1. Such a buffering behavior, which is also characteristic of H+ buffering in pure water (Buffering II Supplement 2), was classified as “noninverting moderation” (Buffering I). The accompanying paper presented a general method to construct communicating vessel-models of noninverting moderation (Buff...

This paper presents an approach for providing explanation to the intelligent diagnosis and monitoring of business workflows based on operation data in the form of temporal log data. The representation of workflow related case knowledge in this research using graphs is explained. Workflow cases are represented in terms of events and their corresponding temporal relationships. The matching and CB...

An approach to improve communication processes in e-learning is introduced. Based on a separation of a content-related and a communicational part of e-learning environments a system to support both students and tutors in their communication endeavors is presented. The communication platform consists of administration, configuration, moderation, and certainly communication tools which are descri...

Maple syrup is a naturally sweet product consumed directly or introduced in the preparation of various maple-derived food products. Several studies have described chemical isolation and identification maple compounds, with some presenting pharmacological properties. However, detailed review on nutritional properties has not been undertaken. This presents information about nutritional, organolep...

Abstract With their power to shape public discourse under unprecedented scrutiny, social media platforms have revamped speech control practices in recent years by building complex systems of content moderation. The contours this tectonic shift are relatively clear. Yet, little work has systematically documented, examined, and theorized process. This article uses digital methods web history trac...

The most consumed squid species worldwide were characterized regarding their concentrations of minerals, fatty acids, cholesterol and vitamin E. Interspecific comparisons were assessed among species and geographical origin. The health benefits derived from squid consumption were assessed based on daily minerals intake and on nutritional lipid quality indexes. Squids contribute significantly to ...

the n-(2-benzoyl-phenyl) oxalyl derivatives are important models for studying of three-centered intramolecular hydrogen bonding in organic molecules. the quantum theoretical calculations for two crystal structures of n-(2-benzoyl-phenyl) oxalyl (compounds i and ii) were performed by density functional theory (b3lyp method and 6-311+g* basis set). from the optimized structures, geometric paramet...

In this research at the first, xylometazoline hydrochloride drug (XY) and its fullerene connected form (FXY) were optimized. Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) calculations for these compounds were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G* quantum chemistry level, in the gas phase and the liquid phase. These calculations can be performed at different accuracy levels depending on the aim of the theoretical study....

This article investigates the impact of the distribution of preferences on equilibrium behavior in conflicts that are modeled as all-pay auctions with identity-dependent externalities. In this context, we define centrists and radicals using a willingness-to-pay criterion that admits preferences more general than a simple ordering on the line. Through a series of examples, we show that substitut...
