efforts on both sides. The European part is based on the SIMDAT project (Data Grids for Process and Product Development using Numerical Simulation and Knowledge Discovery), which joins forces for product development and production process design using Grid services. CN Grid, a similar project with comparable objectives, was launched in China in 2002. While SIMDAT uses GRIA (GRID Resources for I...

A flow reactor for material processing monitored and controlled by a tri-stimulus chromaticity sensor is described by a generalized net. The GN model incorporates knowledge-based decision making that uses results of intuitionistic fuzzy sets evaluation of the chromaticity signal.

Adapting methods from complex system analysis, this paper analyzes the features of the complex relationship between wage inequality and the development and industrialization of a country. Development is understood as a combination of a monetary index, GDP per capita, and a recently introduced measure of a country's economic complexity: Fitness. Initially the paper looks at wage inequality on a ...

We investigate trace functions of modules for vertex operator algebras satisfying C2-cofiniteness. For the modular invariance property, Zhu assumed two conditions in [Zh]: A(V ) is semisimple and C2-cofiniteness. We show that C2-cofiniteness is enough to prove a modular invariance property. For example, if a VOA V is C2cofinite, then the space spanned by generalized characters (pseudo-trace fun...

As Clifford Geertz remarked in his Islam Observed (1968), the idea of a ‘changing’ religion is a contradiction in terms, as religion is fundamentally concerned with what is permanent and eternal. Still, one way to come to terms with religious change is to consider the many ways that religion is interpreted, by laymen and scholars alike. Social anthropologists like myself have naturally found a ...

Graph Neuron (GN) is a network-centric algorithm which envisages a stable and structured network of tiny devices as the platform for parallel distributed pattern recognition. However, the unstructured and often dynamic topology of a wireless sensor network (WSN) does not allow deployment of such applications. In this paper, using GN as a testbed application, we show that a simple virtual topolo...
