We investigate a non-cooperative game-theoretic model for the formation of communi-cation networks by selfish agents. Each agent aims for a central position at minimumcost for creating edges. In particular, the general model (Fabrikant et al., PODC’03)became popular for studying the structure of the Internet or social networks. De-spite its significance, locality in this gam...

The standard approach for optimization of XPath queries by rewriting using views techniques consists in navigating inside a view’s output, thus allowing the usage of only one view in the rewritten query. Algorithms for richer classes of XPath rewritings, using intersection or joins on node identifiers, have been proposed, but they either lack completeness guarantees, or require additional infor...

Chemistry is a discipline that studies how molecules convert into one another. A chemical reaction can involve several different molecules. For example, a molecule of sodium chloride can fall apart (i.e., dissociate) into the sodium and chlorine atoms. The simplest possible chemical reaction involves conversion of some molecule A into a different form B. To describe this reaction, we write the ...

Meneliti manusia sama dengan meneliti kemustahilan. Hingga hari ini, banyak hal tentang yang telah diketahui dan dipahami, namun sebagian lainnya masih merupakan misteri. Al-Qur'an menyebut sebagai khalifah di muka bumi. Sebagai khalifah, Allah membekali pendengaran, penglihatan, hati nurani, kemampuan menaklukkan alam bawah kekuasaannya. Al-Qur’an juga menyebutkan bahwa memiliki peran individu...

background: while various radiographic parameters and application of manual/gravity stress have been proposed to elucidate instability for weber b fibula fractures, the prognostic capability of these modalities remains unclear. determination of anatomic positioning of the mortise is paramount. we propose a novel view, the gravity reduction view (grv), which helps elucidate non-anatomic position...

in this paper, we discuss the ways that communication accommodation theory (cat) can be a useful framework for understanding and diagnosing interactional issues in interpersonal and intergroup conflict situations. we argue that the theory’s construct of attuning strategies provides a multidimensional view of mutual adjustment, leading to insights relevant to successful versus unsuccessful confl...
