Let Q κ = (Q, ≤ Q) be a strongly κ-dense linear order of size κ for κ a suitable cardinal. We prove, for 2 ≤ m < ω, that there is a finite value t + m such that the set [Q] m of m-tuples from Q can be divided into t + m many classes, such that whenever any of these classes C is colored with < κ many colors, there is a copy Q * of Q κ such that [Q * ] m ∩ C is monochromatic. As a consequence we ...

We investigated the quantitative description of nanoporous silicon morphology and its correlation with electrical and optical properties. We performed first-order as well as second-order statistical analysis of AFM images of nanoporous silicon fabricated by two different methods: reaction-induced-vapor-phase-stain-etch and electrochemical. We also simulated AFM images by generation of various m...

*This is the first draft of the paper that will be the basis of the Welcome Lecture (What are advances in knowledge doing to the large industrial firm in the new economy?) on 6 June, 2002, at the DRUID Summer Conference on Industrial Dynamics of the New and Old Economy – who embraces whom?. It will subsequently be expanded into a joint paper with Nick von Tunzelmann. Comments welcome.

Many cancer survivors experience severe fatigue long after they have finished curative treatment. The aim of this study was to develop an intervention strategy that aims to decrease cancer-related fatigue by integrating a physical activity coaching system in primary care physiotherapy. This development started from the current state of the art. Therefore, firstly, an overview is given about phy...

Agent applications are often viewed as unduly expensive to develop and maintain in commercial contexts. Organizations often settle for less sophisticated and more traditional software in place of agent technology because of (often misplaced) fears about the development and maintenance costs of agent technology, and the often mistaken perception that traditional software offers better returns on...

This brief paper tries to highlight two important missing aspects for understanding poverty issues in developing countries. They are the economic analysis of the rural non-farm households, and the behavior of land markets. Taking South Asia as a case, this paper claims that without proper understanding of these aspects, it is difficult to formulate an effective solution to the poverty issue. * ...

This paper mainly studies problems about so called “permutation polynomials modulo m”, polynomials with integer coefficients that can induce bijections over Zm = {0, · · · , m−1}. The necessary and sufficient conditions of permutation polynomials are given, and the number of all permutation polynomials of given degree and the number induced bijections are estimated. A method is proposed to dete...

This paper addresses the development and validation of rubrics, materials and situations for the assessment of innovation competence. Research was carried out to verify the viability of the first draft of the assessment criteria, which led to refinement of the criteria and proposals to enhance the ensuing validation process that will include students and raters of different language backgrounds.

A geometric approach, analogous to the approach used in the additive case, is proposed to determine the conditional expectation with non-additive probabilities. The conditional expectation is then applied for (i) updating the probability when new information becomes available; and (ii) defining the notion of independence of non-additive probabilities and Nash equilibrium.
