A promising approach to the effective utilization of wavelength division multiplexed networks is to transfer data on an on-demand basis using fast wavelength reservation. Data can then be transferred using the assigned wavelength channel. However, if wavelength reservation fails, the lightpath setup delay, which is defined as the time from when the data–transfer request arises at the source nod...

A recent exchange between Allinson (2019) and Abrams on the current state of revolution theory rests assumption that generational, backward-looking view studies is also a fruitful way thinking field's present future. We argue, in contrast, while generational approach has important benefits, it contains shortcomings may lead future less directions. examine where an overreliance led us, provide e...

Coleman (1979; 1994) has argued that sociological rational choice theory is an appropriate tool to analyze organizations. He emphasizes that the theory combines the analytical power of formal decision analysis with sociology’s attention to informal incentives. Our paper aims to caution against a potential danger in Coleman’s research agenda. Substantively important implications of the theory, n...

In this article, I argue that distinguishing 'evolutionary' from 'Darwinian' medicine will help us assess the variety of roles that evolutionary explanations can play in a number of medical contexts. Because the boundaries of evolutionary and Darwinian medicine overlap to some extent, however, they are best described as distinct 'research traditions' rather than as competing paradigms. But whil...

Let {Xi}i≥1 be a martingale difference sequence with Xi = Si − Si−1. Under some regularity conditions, we show that (X 1+· · ·+X2 Nn)SNn is asymptotically normal, where {Ni}i≥1 is a sequence of positive integer-valued random variables tending to infinity. In a similar manner, a backward (or reverse) martingale central limit theorem with random indices is provided. Keywords—central limit theorem...

Detection in zero degree calorimeters of the correlated forward-backward Coulomb or nuclear dissociation of two colliding nuclei is presented as a practical luminosity monitor in heavy ion colliders. Complementary predictions are given for total correlated Coulomb plus nuclear dissociation and for correlated forward-backward single neutrons from the giant dipole peak. PACS: 25.75.-q; 29.40.Vj; ...

This paper is concerned with univariate noncausal autoregressive models and their potential usefulness in economic applications. We argue that noncausal autoregressive models are especially well suited for modeling expectations. Unlike conventional causal autoregressive models, they explicitly show how the considered economic variable is a¤ected by expectations and how expectations are formed. ...

Chinese ZY3-02 satellite, which is the second of ZY3 series satellites, was launched in May 30th 2016 for complementing the mapping and earth observation. In order to eliminate various system errors of the platform and payload, the on-orbit geometric validation and calibration was carried out. Firstly, we introduced the parameters of the three-line stereo camera and multispectral camera bound o...
