We show that the number of disjointed families needed in the Besicovitch Covering Theorem equals the number of unit spheres that can be packed into a ball of radius five, with one at the center, and get estimates on this number.

In this media theoretical and critical elaboration we intend to close the gap between music in static linear and non-linear interactive media. We will give a brief overview on media music perception and its historical development that enables us to recognize parallels between music in films and games and, thereby, uncover future perspectives of interactive media music. According to this, we wil...

Responses in pre-modern eras to anorexia nervosa (as now understood) varied widely, from religious piety and sanctity through fear and superstition. While noting briefly the limited conceptualizations from pre-modern history this article is primarily focused from the late 19th century, commencing with helpful but tentative formulations of anorexia nervosa for early-modern medicine that were lai...

Neuron cell are built from a myriad of axon and dendrite structures. It transmits electrochemical signals between the brain and the nervous system. Three-dimensional visualization of neuron structure could help to facilitate deeper understanding of neuron and its models. An accurate neuron model could aid understanding of brain's functionalities, diagnosis and knowledge of entire nervous system...

This paper presents a multithreading runtime library that provides uniied support for loop and functional parallelisms. It implements a queue-based dynamic load-balancing scheme to exploit arbitrarily nested or disjointed parallel constructs, while keeping its overhead competitive with simpler conventional libraries. The library also provides support for the recently adopted industry standard: ...

In traditional sales planning models, planning activities typically are based on a range of disjointed and nonstandard business processes. That fragmentation creates longer implementation cycle times, with resulting plans misaligned with real-time/unfolding market and regulatory dynamics. Targets are not precise, data is difficult to collect and distribute, and sales professionals are not as ef...

The authors explore, in a conversation informed by experimental visual methodologies, the concurrence of two historically disjointed, yet adjacent, sites: shipwreck Danish cargo steamer G. Koch and expansion Aberdeen Harbour Scotland.
