Protein amyloid aggregation has been widely observed to occur and plays important roles in both physiological processes pathological diseases. Remarkably, aggregates assembled by native proteins gain a variety of different biological activities, which cannot be adopted the unassembled protein alone. Thus, it is investigate molecular basis self-assembly how aggregated structure determines its fu...

Conventional analyses on eye movement data only take into account eye movement metrics, such as the number or the duration of fixations and length of the scanpaths, on which statistical analysis is performed for detecting significant differences. However, the spatial dimension in the eye movements is neglected, which is an essential element when investigating the design of maps. The study descr...

A view is a virtual relation defined in terms of ba se relations and is said to be materialized if it is stored in the database. In the past few years, mate rialized views have attracted a significant amount of research in many applications environments as a means of enhancing query performance. Materialized views offer significant performance ad vantages in evaluating a query by eliminating th...

An aggregate is a group of primary particles that cohere to each other more strongly than to other surrounding soil particles. Most adjacent particles adhere to some degree. Therefore, disintegration of the soil mass into aggregates requires imposition of a disrupting force. Stability of aggregates is a function of whether the cohesive forces between particles withstand the applied disruptive f...

In the case of real-valued inputs, averaging aggregation functions have been studied extensively with results arising in fields including probability and statistics, fuzzy decision-making, and various sciences. Although much of the behavior of aggregation functions when combining standard fuzzy membership values is well established, extensions to interval-valued fuzzy sets, hesitant fuzzy sets,...

The common approach to integrating thermodynamics and economics is subsuming thermodynamic aspects among the set of constraints under which economic activity takes place. The causal link between energy and growth is investigated via aggregate econometric analysis. This paper discusses methodological issues of aggregate analysis and proposes an alternative framework based on recent developments ...

Computational similarity assessments over spatial objects are typically decomposed into similarity comparisons of geometric and nongeometric attribute values. Psychological findings have suggested that different types of aggregation functions—for the conversions from the attributes’ similarity values to the objects’ similarity values—should be used depending on whether the attributes are separa...

In this paper we introduce a slight modification of the definition of migrativity for aggregation functions that allows useful characterization of this property. Among other things, in this context we prove that there are no t-conorms, uninorms or nullnorms that satisfy migrativity (with the product being the only migrative t-norm, as already shown by other authors) and that the only migrative ...

Collusion with Private and Aggregate Information by Jim Y. Jin* This paper considers three linear asymmetric oligopoly models with (i) a representative consumer, (ii) horizontal differentiation and (iii) vertical differentiation. We show that firms could maximize the joint-profit only based on private and aggregate information. They can choose the “correct“ colluding prices without knowing the ...
