We collect some information about the invariants λp,i(A) of a commutative local ringA containing a field introduced by G. Lyubeznik in 1993 (Finiteness properties of local cohomology modules, Invent. Math. 113, 41– 55). We treat the cases dim(A) equal to zero, one and two, thereby answering in the negative a question raised in Lyubeznik’s paper. In fact, we will show that λp,i(A) has in the two...

Crowdsensing, people tracking and urban space utilization are critical tasks for understanding human behavior in smart cities. Human sensing applications provide valuable feedback to the urban developers and architects to optimize public facilities and re-invent spaces. In this chapter, a Renewable Wireless Sensor Network (RWSN) architecture for human sensing is presented to study the spatial a...

Designing and applying a domain specific modelling language appears to be quite simple: invent appropriate modelling elements and connectors, define their semantics in a legend and use them. The talk will show, that there are more aspects to consider and more steps to perform, and that it is necessary to deeply immerse into the domain in question. But the result is worth the effort. The work su...

The purpose of this White Paper of the EU Support Action “Visioneer” (see www.visioneer.ethz.ch) is to address the following goals: 1. Identify new ways of publishing, evaluating, and reporting scientific progress. 2. Promote ICT solutions to increase the awareness of new emerging trends. 3. Invent tools to enhance Europe’s innovation potential. 4. Develop new strategies to support a sustainabl...

As options models move from financial markets to corporate decision making, it is fitting to question the simple domain extension of option pricing theory by considering behavioral decision-making biases. We suggest, however, that, given the negative evolutionary consequences of ignoring optionlike investments, organizations invent heuristic rules to counter these biases. We propose the idea of...

Not satisfied with biology's vast catalyst repertoire, I want to create new enzyme catalysts and expand the chemistry of life. We use most powerful biological design process, evolution, optimize existing enzymes invent ones, thereby circumventing our profound ignorance how sequence encodes function. Chemistry encoded in DNA optimized by evolution enables efficient, sustainable routes important ...

The objective of this paper is to show how information visualization can play an important and catalytic role in the reconceptualization of digital libraries as interactive knowledge environments. Information visualization has long been described as a beneficial and promising technology for digital libraries. Today, however, few digital libraries rely on information visualization concepts and t...

The purpose of this study is to analyse and provide recommendations for national law, related law enforcement in violations against minorities (fraud on minorities) shareholders create corrective justice during the covid-19 period. Minority Shareholders are a group that classified as vulnerable actions can result losses. For reason, efforts Shareholder fraud needed, legal protection recovery lo...

In this paper, we discuss the positivity of the Hermitian form ð; Þp introduced by Li in Invent. Math. 27 (1989) 237–255. Let ðG1;G2Þ be a type I dual pair with G1 the smaller group. Let p be an irreducible unitary representation in the semistable range of yðMG1;MG2Þ (see Communications in Contemporary Mathematics, Vol. 2, 2000, pp. 255–283). We prove that the invariant Hermitian form ð; Þp is ...

The Mission of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has been to support and conduct health services research and to disseminate those research findings. Recently the Agency has changed its mission to: "Improving the quality, safety, efficiency and effectiveness of health care for all Americans." For agency personnel working with the topic of patient safety, that change has crea...
