A utility function U is said to be invariant with respect to a family of transformations Γ provided, for every member γ of Γ , U and U ◦ γ represent the same preference relation over lotteries. An invariance with respect to a wide class of transformations can be reduced to an invariance with respect to the shift transformations. We give a complete answer to the following question: given a nonem...

Obfuscation is gaining momentum as a protection mechanism for the intellectual property contained within or encapsulated by software. Usually, one of the following three directions is followed: source code obfuscation is achieved through source code transformations, Java bytecode obfuscation through transformations on the bytecode, and binary obfuscation through binary rewriting. In this paper,...

here, the concept of quantum potential that has been illustrated in extended phase space (eps) in previous works is explored for its marginal behavior. unlike in configuration space, different representations of the quantum mechanics can be found in eps when exploiting appropriate canonical transformations. these canonical transformations revealed that there exist several representations in whi...

This is a survey of the main aims and results of the ESPRIT Basic Research Working Group COMPUTING BY GRAPH TRANSFORMATION with main emphasize on COMPUGRAPH II, 1992-1996, following up the rst phase of COMPUGRAPH, 1989-1992. Starting with an overview of the history of graph grammars and graph transformations the research goals and main results are presented within the following three research a...

in order to investigate the possibility of using organic fertilizers in tobacco floating nursery, an experiment was conducted at tobacco research institute of urmia in 2010. the experiment was done as factorial trail based on randomized complete block design (crbd) with four replications. the levels of first factor were disinfected poultry manure, disinfected pigeon manure, a complete fertilize...

Presently, variable transformations are used to enhance the performance of lattice rules for multidimensional integration. The transformations that are in the literature so far are of either polynomial or exponential nature. Following a short survey of some of the transformations that have been found to be effective, we propose a new transformation, denoted the sinm-transformation, that is neit...

We consider the supersymmetry (SUSY) transformations in the chiral Lagrangian for N = 1 supergravity (SUGRA) with the complex tetrad following the method used in the usual N = 1 SUGRA, and present the explicit form of the SUSY trasformations in the first-order form. The SUSY transformations are generated by two independent Majorana spinor parameters, which are apparently different from the cons...

We introduce a novel semantic representation formalism, Almost Flat Functional semantics (AFF), which is designed as an intelligent compromise between linguistically motivated predicate/argument semantics and ad hoc engineering solutions based on flat feature/value lists; the central idea is to tag each semantic element with the functional marking which most closely surrounds it. We argue that ...
