Intelligence analysis is the process of reasoning about information in order to produce hypothetical explanations for a situation. In this process, it is fundamental to assess how, when, and where this information has been elaborated. A model of provenance can capture this contextual information. Provenance data inevitably affects the identification of plausible conclusions, thus, it must be in...

Modelling A decision model was used to estimate the outcomes of quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and costs for the screening versus no screening strategies. The outcomes were estimated for a hypothetical cohort of 35-year old patients with a high prevalence of LTBI, who were not at increased risk of active TB disease if infected. A Markov model was also developed to trace the health profile ...

SUMMARY We investigate binary sequence pairs with two-level correlation in terms of their corresponding cyclic difference pairs (CDPs). We define multipliers of a cyclic difference pair and present an existence theorem for multipliers, which could be applied to check the exis-tence/nonexistence of certain hypothetical cyclic difference pairs. Then, we focus on the ideal case where all the out-o...

Binary mixtures of surfactants build a binary mixed micelle in which the ratio usually differs from initial their mixture. The thermodynamic stabilization micellar pseudophase about hypothetical ideal state (intermolecular interactions between different particles and conformational states are identical to those monocomponent states) is described by molar excess Gibbs free energy (gE). dependenc...
