We show there exists a continuous compactly supported function ' de ned on the reals satsifying '(x) = c0'(2x) + c1'(2x 1) + c2'(2x 2) if and only if c1 = 1, c0 + c2 = 1, and jc0j; jc2j < 1. The functions ' are examples of scaling functions from the theory of wavelets. x

Monitoring System has been forthcoming (see March 1996 Colorado Dairy News). Although Colorado was not one of the states sampled. The results on a regional and national basis provide our producers with thoughtprovoking information. The Colorado Dairy News will feature topics from this study in this and future issues. We appreciate the assistance of Dr Scott Wells and his associates at NAHMS wit...

The role of frameworks in information systems has recently received a great deal of critical attention. One prominent indictment, which has been directed at even commonly accepted frameworks, is that they lack empirical support, and in fact are not constructed in operational terminology. This article reports the results of an experimental lab study using MBA students as subjects to investigate ...

To solve problems of compliance, an institutional trigger mechanism is often used. This paper develops a model of two trigger mechanisms and derives conditions where the two institutions may complement one another to improve utility and compliance. When the conditions for optimality do not hold, small changes in institutional structure may create lumpy changes in behavior. Also, the paper explo...

Dred Scott, without doubt, is the most controversial case in the history of the United States Supreme Court. Unlike the controversies that surround other decisions of the Court, the controversy surrounding Dred Scott does not turn on if the outcome or Chief Justice Taney’s analysis was wrong, but rather on why the outcome and Chief Justice Taney’s analysis were wrong. This article focuses on th...

Obesity and pronated foot type may increase the risk of chronic plantar heel pain: a matched Title: case-control study

We point out that there is a problem with the definition of homological critical value (as defined in the widely cited paper [2] by Cohen-Steiner, Edelsbrunner and Harer). Under that definition, the critical value lemma of [2] in fact fails. We provide several counterexamples and a definition (due to Bubenik and Scott [1]) we feel should be preferred and under which the critical value lemma doe...
