Nearly one in three security practitioners believe that the organization they work for under-funds information security efforts. Rational choice and economic models have been developed to help decision makers determine the optimal amount they should spend to protect a set of information assets. These models presume investment decisions are rationally made, despite long-standing behavioral and d...

We study in a constructive manner some problems of topology related to the set Irr of irrational reals. The constructive approach requires a strong notion of an irrational number ; constructively, a real number is irrational if it is clearly different from any rational number. We show that the set Irr is one-to-one with the set Dfc of infinite developments in continued fraction (dfc). We define...

If the β-function of a time-periodic Lagrangian on a manifold M has a vertex at a k-irrational homology class h, then 2k ≤ dimM . Furthermore if dimM = 2 h is rational.

Harold Pinter’s 1958/1980 play The Hothouse presents the laughter effect by making use of rational and irrational approaches comic. In its absurdist tone, two act aims to mock hierarchical power structures with setting characters. With witty playful dialogues, creates amalgamating social psychological functions laughter. This article seeks study closely from way effect. Using theories Henri Ber...

If the rotation angle α is irrational, then ζ is generating for T (see [4]) and the partition ζn = ζ ∨Tζ ∨···∨Tn−1ζ is made out of 2n arcs. This can be easily realized by induction: when passing from ζn−1 to ζn one has to add to the endpoints of the arcs belonging to ζn−1 the two new points Tn(0) and Tn(1/2) (for rational α, say α = p/q, the partition ζn has precisely 2q arcs for all n≥ q). Thu...

Test question has already become an important factor to restrict the development of integrated circuit industry. A new test data compression scheme, namely irrational numbers stored (INS), is presented. To achieve the goal of compress test data efficiently, test data is converted into floating-point numbers, stored in the form of irrational numbers. The algorithm of converting floating-point nu...
