Obwohl das Firmenkundengeschäft von vielen Banken als eines der strategisch wichtigsten Geschäftsfelder betrachtet wird, ist die Kundenzentrierung bei der Bedienung dieses Markts viel zu wenig ausgeprägt. Bislang werden von den Kreditinstituten nur Ausschnitte der Kundenbedürfnisse aufgegriffen und behandelt. Aus Sicht eines Firmenkunden wird die Bankleistung aber in großem Maße danach beurteil...

The quan t i t y of resources tha t an agent expends in so lv ing problems in a given domain is determined by the representations and search control strategies tha t i t employs. The value of i nd iv idua l representations or strategies to the agent is determined by the i r cont r ibu t ion to the resource expenditure. We argue here t ha t in order to choose the component representat ions and s...

Empirical research on human behavior in collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) is in its infancy. Historically, one of the more valuable tools social scientists have used to evaluate new forms of media is longitudinal studies that examine user behavior over an extended period of time. In the current study, three triads of participants came to the lab for 15 sessions over a ten week period to...

We report on an extension of the SML implementation of the logic programming language Elf [Pfe94] to support the check of convergence for higher-order critical pairs. Since Elf is based on the Edinburgh Logical Framework [HHP93] it utilizes dependent types. Therefore in the implementation a generalization of the critical pair lemma to this case as done in [Vir96] had to be employed. 2 1 Motivat...

This paper describes the work in progress on application of Intex to text alignment. Lexical resources incorporated in Intex and local grammars are used to identify those elements in translated text that usually represent literal translations of the original. The motivation for the experiment and basic ideas of the algorithm are illustarted. 1. The motivation for the production of aligned resou...

Base Class pointers Concrete Field virtual functions Field Archetype Linbox field archetype Figure 1: Black box design. The LinBox black box matrix archetype is simpler than the field archetype because the design constraints are less stringent. As with the field type, we need a common object interface to describe how algorithms are to access black box matrices, but it only requires functions to...

This essay investigates the German ex-Dadaist Hugo Ball (1886–1927) and his 1920s work on religious conversion from Paul, Augustine Francis to writers poets in modernity. intense engagement was rooted Ball's own radical conversion, or ‘re-conversion’, an austere form of Catholicism childhood 1920, just a few years after breaking with Dada movement he had helped found Zurich 1916. In letters, bo...

Gas-phase photocatalysis using titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been regarded as an attractive technology for the control of VOC emissions. However, TiO2 requires ultraviolet irradiation exceeding the bandgap energy of 3.0 eV (wavelength < 400 nm), hence effectively eliminating the utilization of solar and interior lighting as a source of photo-activation energy. Recently, a number of studies have d...
