We discuss a general strategy which produces an orthonormal set of vectors, stable under the action of a given set of unitary operators Aj , j = 1, 2, . . . , n, starting from a fixed normalized vector in H and from a set of unitary operators. We discuss several examples of this procedure and, in particular, we show how a set of coherent-like vectors can be produced and in which condition over ...

OBJECTIVE To compare criteria for coronary revascularization developed by the expert panel process and by decision analysis. METHOD We reviewed the medical records of 3080 chronic stable angina patients who either underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and determined the agreement between appropriateness ratings made by t...

The syntactic tagging of the Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT) is divide into two steps, the rst resulting in analytic tree structures (ATS) and the second in tectogrammatical tree structures (TGTS). The present paper describes the transition procedures, automatic and manual, from ATS to TGTS and illustrates these procedures on two Czech sentences. Syntactic tagging in The Prague Dependency Tree...

Using computer simulation, the authors assessed the accuracy of J. E. Hunter, F. L. Schmidt, and H. Le's (2006) procedure for correcting for indirect range restriction, the most common type of range restriction, in comparison with the conventional practice of applying the Thorndike Case II correction for direct range restriction. Hunter et al.'s procedure produced more accurate estimates of bot...

The multi-attribute decision-making methods allow to solve arbitrary problems governed by several parameters. In this paper, the choice of a composite material was analyzed, by considering the availability from four companies. The multi-attribute decision Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) procedure was used to select the best levels for different attributes, both parametric and non-parametric, a...

An Abstract The paper presents a labelled tableau system for S4.3, based on D'Agostino, Mondadori system KE [1] for Classical Propositional Logic and labelled rules for S4 of Fitting [4]. Weak connectedness is provided by the unique, nonbranching ν-rule. The system is analytic and provides decision procedure

An hybridization between two numerical methods, the 1d Wave Concept Iterative Procedure (WCIP) and the 2d Finite Element Method (FEM), is developed. Using two examples, comparisons are provided between the new hybrid method and an analytic solution, when available, or the WCIP alone.

The four-point integral of the minimal super Liouville gravity on the sphere is evaluated numerically. The integration procedure is based on the effective elliptic parameterization of the moduli space. The analysis is performed for a few different gravitational four-point amplitudes. The results agree with the analytic results recently obtained using the Higher super Liouville equations of motion.

We demonstrate that the analytic solution for the set of energy eigenvalues of the semi-relativistic Coulomb problem reported by B. and L. Durand is in clear conflict with an upper bound on the ground-state energy level derived by some straightforward variational procedure.

In this work the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method has been used to evaluate the best action to be performed by a public transit company with reference to a general goal aimed at customer satisfaction. The tested procedure can help the planner to select the most effective action with reference to the general goal by using in optimal way the available resources.
