BPM (Business Process Management) in the Cloud has triggered revisions over several concepts like process decomposition, execution and monitoring. Decomposition allows processes to be executed in cloud oriented and embedded environments. This situation takes advantage of both approaches considering topics like sensitive data, high computing performance and system portability. Decomposed process...

Neural network (NN) based modeling often requires trying multiple networks with different architectures and training parameters in order to achieve an acceptable model accuracy. Typically, only one of the trained networks is selected as "best" and the rest are discarded. The authors propose using optimal linear combinations (OLC's) of the corresponding outputs on a set of NN's as an alternative...

In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...

We generalize the standard model of particle physics such it displays global scale invariance. The gravitational action is also suitably modified such that it respects this symmetry. This model is interesting since the cosmological constant term is absent in the action. We find that the scale symmetry is broken by the recently introduced cosmological symmetry breaking mechanism. This simultaneo...

In this paper we are going to examine the effect, if any exists, that a modification of the Schwarzchild metric by a lamda term could have on the so called Sakharov’s upper temperature limit. It’s known that Zakharov’s limit is the maximum possible black body temperature that can occur in our universe. Introduction: In 1966 Sakharov first came up with an upper temperature bound for the black bo...

In this paper, we determine all modular forms of weights 36 ≤ k ≤ 56, 4 | k, for the full modular group SL2(Z) which behave like theta series, i.e., which have in their Fourier expansions, the constant term 1 and all other Fourier coefficients are non–negative rational integers. In fact, we give convex regions in R3 (resp. in R4) for the cases k = 36, 40 and 44 (resp. for the cases k = 48, 52 a...

Production of sulfur globules during sulfide or thiosulfate oxidation is a characteristic feature of some sulfur bacteria. Although their generation has been reported in Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, its mechanism of formation and deposition, as well as the physiological significance of these globules during sulfur compounds oxidation, are currently unknown. Under oxygen-sufficient conditions...
