We address three questions of Donald Monk. Two of them, [M2, Problems 50, 54], are related to attainment problems in equivalent definitions of hereditary density hd and hereditary Lindelöf degree hL. The third problem is [M2, Problem 14] and it is about subalgebra– Depth–relation. ∗ The second author thanks KBN (Polish Committee of Scientific Research) for partial support through grant 2 P03 A ...

BACKGROUND The Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) is a federally funded multi-center research network. To promote high quality research within the network, it is important to establish evaluation tools to measure performance of the research sites. PURPOSE To describe the collaborative development of a site performance measure tool "report card" in an academic pediatric...

This paper explores determinants of participation, intensity and the magnitude of the rural nonfarm economy (RNFE) in Tajikistan. Conducting analysis at the district level, in addition to traditional individual and household levels, helps to test the impact of institutional determinants of the RNFE invariant at the micro level. We have found that rural residents in Tajikistan are mostly pushed ...

The development of projections from the retinas to the cortex is mathematically analyzed according to the previously proposed thermodynamic formulation of the self-organization of neural networks. Three types of submodality included in the visual afferent pathways are assumed in two models: model (A), in which the ocularity and retinotopy are considered separately, and model (B), in which on-ce...

This is a paper supporting the demonstration of the LX-Center at ACL-IJCNLP-09. LX-Center is a web center of online linguistic services aimed at both demonstrating a range of language technology tools and at fostering the education, research and development in natural language science and technology.

In (1), it is shown that believe can, but know cannot, license the entailment from x Vs the rumor that p to x Vs that p (Vendler 1972, Ginzburg 1995). As I will argue in detail below, in the standard assumption that know has a proposition-taking denotation, an additional stipulation will be needed to block whatever the mechanism that licenses the entailment of believe in the case of know. In th...

Organizations opt to reduce costs by contracting their day-to-day computing needs to service providers who offer large-scale data centers and cloud computing services. Like other computing commodities, data centers provide paid services that require careful pricing. Using a Stackelberg game formulation, we present a demand-based pricing model for maximizing revenue of data center providers that...

To be able to satisfy the customized requirements for monitoring equipments and personalized monitoring interfaces, datacenter computer room monitoring system systematically provides a mass customization mechanism to give a quick response while reducing the manufacturing cost and meeting the users’ needs. For this reason, we combine the theory of mass customization with the customization method...
