For materials development with high-level structural regulations, the emerging concept of nanoarchitectonics has been proposed. Analytical sciences, including sensing/detection, sensors, and related device construction, are active targets approach. This review article focuses on two features interface nanostructures especially focused to discuss for analytical science. Especially, selected topi...

Data Warehouses provide sophisticated tools for analyzing complex data online, in particular by aggregating data along dimensions spanned by master data. Changes to these master data are a frequent threat to the correctness of OLAP results, in particular for multi-period data analysis, trend calculations, etc. As dimension data might change in underlying data sources without notifying the data ...

This note (motivated by the STSM at the Imperial College London), is devoted to combining ontologically demarcated information with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP; [4]) for assessment of offers during contract negotiations. The AHP is widely used [1], while an attempt at combining it with ontologies was reported in [3]. Here, the context for the AHP method is provided by the Agents in Gr...

Systematic semantic ambiguities result from the interaction of the two operations that are involved in resolving ellipsis in the presence of scoping elements such as quantiiers and intensional operators: scope determination for the scoping elements and resolution of the elided relation. A variety of problematic examples previously noted | by Sag, Hirschb uhler, Gawron and Peters, Harper, and ot...

Analytical ultracentrifugation (AU) is re-emerging as a versatile tool for the study of proteins. Monitoring the sedimentation of macromolecules in the centrifugal field allows their hydrodynamic and thermodynamic characterization in solution, without any interaction with any matrix or surface. The combination of new instrumentation and powerful computational software for data analysis has led ...

The fact that many small aquatic and marine organisms manage to persist in their native environments in the presence of constant advection into unfavorable habitat is known as the “drift paradox.” Although advection may determine large scale biological patterns, individual behavior such as predation or vertical/horizontal migration can dominate at smaller scales. Using both computational and an...
