In the Semantic Web information would be retrieved, processed, combined, shared and reused in the maximum automatic way possible. Obviously, such procedures involve a high degree of uncertainty and imprecision. For example ontology alignment or information retrieval are rarely true or false procedures but usually involve confidence degrees or provide rankings. Furthermore, it is often the case ...

This paper is an addendum to [4], in which the authors constructed a simply connected minimal complex surface of general type with pg = 0 and K 2 = 3. Motivated by Y. Lee and the second author’s recent construction on a surface of general type with pg = 0, K 2 = 2 and H1 = Z/2Z [3], we extend the result to the K = 3 case in this paper. That is, we construct a new non-simply connected minimal su...

BACKGROUND Shin pain is a common complaint among running athletes and can be caused by bony, muscular, vascular or neural pathology.

Notes 1. The Northern Rock picture appears in the Shin (2009) retrospective on the Northern Rock crisis. 2. The theoretical literature on bank runs was initiated by Bryant (1980) and Diamond-Dybvig (1983). 3. The two player two action example is essentially the leading example from Carlsson-van Damme (1993). 4. Morris-Shin (2003) present an overview of binary action many player global games. 5....

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of different sitting positions on the skin temperature of the lower extremity. [Subjects] The subjects of this study were 23 healthy university students (8 males, 15 females). [Methods] Normal sitting (NS), upper leg cross (ULC) and ankle on knee (AOK) positions were conducted to measure the changes in skin temperature using digital...
