The paper deals with the Palaeolithic materials found on right bank of Dniester River, in vicinity Balamutivka Village, Chernivtsi Oblast, since 1950s. Several sites, which have been recently discovered here, are published detail for first time. Particular attention is paid to finds flint artefacts from caves located near village.
 Within and further northeast, there many sites associated ...

Existing models for developing modular product families based on a common platform are either too engineering oriented or too marketing centric. In this paper, we propose an intermediate modeling ground that bridges this gap by simultaneously considering essential concepts from engineering and marketing to construct an alternative model for platform-based product families. In this model, each v...

Modern social networks have become sources for vast quantities of data. Having access to such big data can be very useful for various researchers and data scientists. In this paper we describe Loklak, an open source distributed peer to peer crawler and scraper for supporting such research on platforms like Twitter, Weibo and other social networks. Social networks such as Twitter and Weibo pose ...

BACKGROUND Halitosis is a common problem that affects a large portion of the population worldwide. The origin of this condition is oral in 90% and systemic in 10% of cases. The unpleasant odor is mainly the result of volatile sulfur compounds produced by Gram-negative bacteria. However, it has recently been found that anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria also produce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the p...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We examine the complexity of constructing reduced order models for subsets variables needed to represent state power grid. In particular, we apply model reduction techniques DeMarco-Zheng grid model. We show that due oscillating nature solutions and absence timescale separation between resolved unresolved variables, construction accurate becomes highly non-tri...
