Fundamental solutions of space-time fractional diffusion equations can be interpret as probability density functions. This fact creates a strong link with stochastic processes. Recasting probability density functions in terms of subordination laws has emerged to be important to built up stochastic processes. In particular, for diffusion processes, subordination can be understood as a diffusive ...

The paper explains the principles of multi-result supercompilation. We introduce a formalism for representing supercompilation algorithms as rewriting rules for graphs of configurations. Some low-level technical details related to the implementation of multi-result supercompilation in MRSC are discussed. In particular, we consider the advantages of using spaghetti stacks for representing graphs...

Oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD) refers to a recurrent pattern of negativistic, defiant, disobedient, and hostile behavior toward authority figures. Research has shown that children with ODD and comorbid mood disorders may be at particular risk for long-term adverse outcomes, including conduct disorder. In this study, the authors examined the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral model of ...

Thank you for this invitation to share with you some thoughts on major issues facing Australian universities. Continuing development is very important for all staff, including for administrators who are crucial to much of universities’ successful operation. Joint staff development programs such as the one we are starting this morning managed by Universities Australia seem to me ideal in both po...

Research universities have made enormous contributions to the field of medicine and the treatment of human disease. Alone or in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies, academic researchers have added to the store of knowledge that has led to numerous life science breakthroughs. A new chapter may be opening for academic researchers, however, that could lead to a darker tale. 'The mouse that...

The teaching of statistics in the U.S. and Japanese universities is briefly reviewed. It is found that H. Hotelling's articles and subsequent relevant publications on the teaching of statistics have contributed to a considerable extent to the establishment of excellent departments of statistics in U.S. universities and colleges. Today the U.S. may be proud of many well-staffed and well-organize...

In the spring of 1996, I was the Rolf Sammet Guest Professor at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main in Germany. One afternoon, I accompanied one of the chemistry department s professors to a part of the city of Frankfurt called Sachsenhausen to enjoy Ebbelwoi, a German hard cider. As we sat in the sun, relaxing, the conversation turned to a comparison between life in Americ...

EUCIP (EUropean Certification of Informatics Professionals) is a pan-European qualification scheme for people entering the IT profession and for IT professionals wishing to assess their professional development. This paper presents the experiences of the Italian Universities in the framework of the EUCIP programme. We illustrate both the institutional perspective of the Universities and the per...
