This paper serves as a companion or extension to the “Inside PageRank” paper by Bianchini et al. [Bianchini et al. 03]. It is a comprehensive survey of all issues associated with PageRank, covering the basic PageRank model, available and recommended solution methods, storage issues, existence, uniqueness, and convergence properties, possible alterations to the basic model, suggested alternative...

Abstract. The paper focuses on the uniqueness issue for scalar convection-diffusion equations where both the convective flux and diffusion functions have a spatial discontinuity. An interface entropy condition is proposed at such a spatial discontinuity. It implies the Kružkov-type entropy condition presented by Karlsen et al. [Trans. Royal Norwegian Society Sci. Letters 3, 49 pp, 2003]. They p...

In the Standard Model of electro-weak and strong forces, parity is broken explicitly by the choice of inequivalent representations for leftand right-handed fermions. Within the frame work of Yang-Mills-Higgs models this is certainly an aesthetic draw back that physicists have tried to correct by the introduction of left-right symmetric models. These are Yang-Mills-Higgs models where parity is b...

Pure Holsteins (n = 380) were compared to Normande/Holstein crossbreds (n = 245), Montbeliarde/Holstein crossbreds (n = 494), and Scandinavian Red/Holstein crossbreds (n = 328) for 305-d milk, fat, and protein production during first lactation. Scandinavian Red was a mixture of Swedish Red and Norwegian Red. Cows were housed at 7 commercial dairies in California and calved from June 2002 to Jan...

We describe exbar, a powerful new algorithm for the exact inference of minimal deterministic automata from given training data. This algorithm achieves the highest performance ever on a set of graded benchmark problems that has been posted by Arlindo Oliveira. In addition, we note that the inexact program ed-beam, which resulted from the Abbadingo DFA learning competition, also does well on thi...

In this issue of Neuron, Johnson et al. employ a unique whole-genome exon-level analysis of the developing human brain showing that 76% of genes are expressed along with unexpectedly high levels of differential expression. These results have important consequences for understanding normal and pathological function and provide implications about the uniqueness of being human.

By using Tsuji's characteristic, we investigate uniqueness of meromorphic functions in an angular domain dealing with the shared set, which is different from the set of the paper (Lin et al., 2006) and obtain a series of results about the unique range set of meromorphic functions in angular domain.

In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of couple fixed point theorems for three mappings satisfying some new rational contractive conditions. We prove our results in the frame work of G b -metric space which is recently introduced by Aghajani et al. (Filomat 28(6):1087-1101, 2014). Illustrative example is also given to support our result.

this research deals with the concept of uniqueness in creativity as one of the artist's concerns and her personal features differentiates her from her peers in literary approach and critical view horizon based on her learned knowledge and literature.the reflection of such concept can be found in the book teyf-e- al-khialwritten by sharif al-murtazain both poetry and its criticism. the poet...
