Cyber insurance is a valuable approach to mitigate further the cyber risk and its loss in addition to the deployment of technological cyber defense solutions such as intrusion detection systems and firewalls. An effective cyber insurance policy can reduce the number of successful cyber attacks by incentivizing the adoption of preventative measures and the implementation of best practices of the...

this article addresses the problem of balancing the time-cost-income aspects of talent management and succession in knowledge-based organizations. reviewing the literature figures out that many researches emphasize the importance of talent management and planning for succession. while the wide range of attracting talents from outside to fill this gap to train the inside talents to have a succes...

Much of the commercial success that Enter The Matrix has enjoyed is the result of its relationship with the Matrix trilogy, rather than the quality of play it offers. The game was released at the same time as The Matrix Reloaded (May 2003) and immediately became the fastest-selling title in its publisher’s history. The game is part of the Matrix franchise, but whatever its allegiances, it is a ...

this research presents a numerical tool to estimate the green's function operator matrix of intraplate faults. having this matrix and its inverse, spatial distribution of fault slippage could be investigated through the inverse analysis of geodetic data. this information could be employed to predict the location of future powerful earthquakes. to implement fault sliding in fe calculations,...

Given two graphs G and H, there is a bi-resolving (or bi-covering) graph homomorphism from G to H if and only if their adjacency matrices satisfy certain matrix relations. We investigate the bi-covering extensions of bi-resolving homomorphisms and give several sufficient conditions for a bi-resolving homomorphism to have a bi-covering extension with an irreducible domain. Using these results, w...

In this paper, an implicit finite difference scheme with the shifted Grünwald formula, which is unconditionally stable, is used to discretize the fractional diffusion equations with constant diffusion coefficients. The coefficient matrix possesses the Toeplitz structure and the fast Toeplitz matrix-vector product can be utilized to reduce the computational complexity from [Formula: see text] to...

We improve on the results of [Vel] and give some examples. In [Jech], a number of infinite games on (complete) Boolean algebras were defined. Among them was the following Prikry-style “cut and choose” game Gc&c : I p, b0 b1 . . . . . . . . . bi . . . . . . . . . . i < ω II r0 r1 . . . . . . . . . ri . . . . . . . . . . where p, bi’s are elements of the Boolean algebra B in question and ri ∈ 2 f...

Bi-factor analysis is a form of confirmatory factor analysis originally introduced by Holzinger and Swineford (Psychometrika 47:41-54, 1937). The bi-factor model has a general factor, a number of group factors, and an explicit bi-factor structure. Jennrich and Bentler (Psychometrika 76:537-549, 2011) introduced an exploratory form of bi-factor analysis that does not require one to provide an ex...

The emergence of the modern gig economy introduces a new set employment considerations for firms and laborers that include various trade-offs. With game-theoretical approach, we examine influences technology, policy markets on firm worker preferences labor. Theoretically, present conceptual extensions to replicator equation model oscillating dynamics in two-player asymmetric bi-matrix games wit...

2.1.1 matrix games A 2-player zero-sum game, or a matrix game, is defined by a matrix A ∈ Rm×n, called the payoff matrix. There are two players with opposing interests: the row player (minimizer) and the column player (maximizer). At each step of the play, the row player selects a row i, and the column player selects a column j, then the row player pays to the column player the value aij of the...
