Standard parton distribution function sets do not have rigorously quantified uncertainties. In recent years it has become apparent that these uncertainties play an important role in the interpretation of hadron collider data. In this paper, using the framework of statistical inference, we illustrate a technique that can be used to efficiently propagate the uncertainties to new observables, asse...

The match between employees and their vocations, jobs and organizations has been the focus of the majority of past person-environment fit research. The compatibility between individuals and their work team environments is a more recently recognized, but much less studied, type of fit. Person-team fit is conceptualized here along two fundamental dimensions of team environments: interdependence a...

This paper explores how user engagement affects users’ intention to explore business intelligence system (BIS) and how user engagement is promoted by the cognitive fit between BIS interface and tasks and the regulatory compatibility between BIS interface and personal characteristics, such as style of information processing. Results from the lab experiment suggest that the cognitive fit and the ...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether stigmatization was associated with psychological adjustment in adolescents from planned lesbian families and, if so, to examine whether individual and interpersonal promotive factors influenced this association. Seventy-eight adolescents (39 girls, 39 boys; mean age 17.05 years) completed an online questionnaire about psychological health problem...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats promised Thursday to speed an economic recovery package through Congress, but vowed to rearrange President Bush’s budget proposal to ben­ efit m iddle-income Americans, not the rich. “ Democrats w ill not obstruct, but we w ill try to improve the p re s id e n t’s p acka ge ,” sa id House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., as the Budget Committee began hearings...

The gluon propagator is computed in large asymmetric lattices, accessing momenta around 100 MeV and smaller. Our study tries to check the compatibility of the recent solutions of the gluonghost Dyson-Schwinger equations with lattice results. In particular the exponent κ , which characterizes the solutions for the infrared, is measured. Results favours a vanishing zero momentum gluon propagator....

In this work we consider modeling of services with workflow modules, which form a Petri net subclass. The service compatibility problem is to answer the question, whether two services fit together, i.e. whether the composed system is correct. We study complementarity of resources, produced/consumed by two services — a necessary condition for the service compatibility. Resources, which are produ...

In the lecture 5 we have followed an axiomatic and a semantic approach to modal logic. But do these approaches fit together? We should not be using proof rules that make no sense semantically. Recall the axioms and proof rules we had so far Figure 1. The proof rules are sound iff they can only derive semantical consequences. Note that, unlike in the first lectures, this is an external soundness...

In this work we consider modeling of services with workflow modules, which are a subclass of Petri nets. The service compatibility problem is to answer the question, whether two Web services fit together, i.e. whether the composed system is sound. We study complementarity of service produced/consumed resources, that is a necessary condition for the service compatibility. Resources, which are pr...
