Two-sided matchings are an important theoretical tool used to model markets and social interactions. In many real life problems the utility of an agent is influenced not only by their own choices, but also by the choices that other agents make. Such an influence is called an externality. Whereas fully expressive representations of externalities in matchings require exponential space, in this pa...

Abū Isḥāq Tha‘labī Nayshābūrī is an outstanding Iranian exegete of the fourth and fifth centuries LH. Tha‘labī has been so skillful in various Islamic sciences such as Arabic linguistics (including morphology, syntax (grammatical inflection), vocabulary, and rhetoric), Ḥadīth, exegesis, and qur’ānic sciences that numerous students from many near and far places attended his classes. Tha‘labī’s c...

A new method for interpolating between presets is described. The interpolation algorithm called Intersecting N-Spheres Interpolation is simple to compute and its generalization to higher dimensions is straightforward. The current implementation in the SuperCollider environment is presented as a tool that eases the design of many-to-many mappings for musical interfaces. Examples of its uses, inc...

This paper considers the problemofmany-to-many disjoint paths in the hypercubeQn with f faulty vertices and obtains the following result. For any integer k with 1 ≤ k ≤ n − 1 and any two sets S and T of k fault-free vertices in different partite sets of Qn (n ≥ 2), if f ≤ 2n−2k−2 and each fault-free vertex has at least two fault-free neighbors, then there exist k fully disjoint fault-free paths...

Artifacts have been proposed as basic building blocks for complex processes that are driven by life-cycle aware data objects. An artifact choreography describes the interplay of several artifacts from which the process “emerges”. By design, an artifact choreography is tightly coupled to the process’ underlying data model which gives rise to complex interactions between artifacts. This paper pre...

Political theorists likeAlexis deTocqueville have long recognized the importance of citizen associations for the practice of democracy. Through participation in associations, citizens both receive an education in public affairs and create centers of political power independent of the state. Essential to participation in an association is participation in a forum, a communication space that allo...

november arrives and as each year the iranian congress of ophthalmology organized by the iranian society of ophthalmology, a national and very popular re::::union:::: of the iranian ophthalmologists and some colleagues from the surrounding countries. this year a new congress center (aboreyhan international conference center, shahid beheshti university) at north of tehran has been chosen for thi...

This paper describes a means for linking Ž eld and object representations of geographical space. The approach is based on a series of mappings, where locations in a continuous Ž eld are mapped to discrete objects. An object in this context is a modeler’s conceptualization, as in a viewshed, highway corridor or biological reserve. An object can be represented as a point, line, polygon, network, ...
