Modern data warehouses store exceedingly large amounts of data, generally considered the crown jewels of an enterprise. The amount of data maintained in such data warehouses increases significantly over time—often at a continuous pace, e.g., by gathering additional data or retaining data for longer periods to derive additional business value, but occasionally also precipitously, e.g., when cons...

In the present paper, we investigate consequence relations that are both paraconsistent and plausible (but still monotonic). More precisely, we put the focus on pivotal consequence relations, i.e. those relations that can be defined by a pivot (in the style of e.g. D. Makinson). A pivot is a fixed subset of valuations which are considered to be the important ones in the absolute sense. We worke...

We analyze the geometry of scaling limits of near-critical 2D percolation, i.e., for p = pc + λδ 1/ν , with ν = 4/3, as the lattice spacing δ → 0. Our proposed framework extends previous analyses for p = pc, based on SLE6. It combines the continuum nonsimple loop process describing the full scaling limit at criticality with a Poissonian process for marking double (touching) points of that (crit...

the purpose of this article is to evaluate the pivotal irrigated wheat project by cost-benefit analysis method in order to find the internal rate of return and the ratio of present value of net benefits to costs.to this end, we have estimated the economic surplus created due to shift in wheat supply , as result ofimplementation ofthe project and have calculated the above criteria. we found that...
