The vigorous impact of the Web in time and space arises from the fact that it motivates massive creation, editing and distribution of information by Users with little knowledge. This unprecedented continuum provides novel opportunities for innovation but also puts under jeopardy its survival as a stable construct that nurtures a complex system of connections. We examine the Web as an ethics det...

the baroclinic adjustment is defined as the neutralization of the mean flow by eddies. with the amplitude growth of the baroclinic waves generated by an unstable mean flow, the eddy fluxes increase and act to reduce the meridional temperature gradient or vertical wind shear of the mean flow to subcritical value. this is believed to constitute the basic mechanism of baroclinic adjustment. the co...

in this paper, we firstly show that the $n$-dual operation of the right residual implication, which is induced by a left-conjunctive right arbitrary $vee$-distributive left semi-uninorm, is the right residual coimplication induced by its $n$-dual operation. as a dual result, the $n$-dual operation of the right residual coimplication, which is induced by a left-disjunctive right arbitrary $wedge...

We provide an extended dynamic general equilibrium model for investigating decision neutrality of tax systems and apply it in analyzing recent tax reform proposals. The Swiss ACE Dual Income Tax (SADIT) and the German Dual Income Tax (GDIT) come under scrutiny. We propose an alternative tax reform which guarantees a higher degree of neutrality without necessarily jeopardizing political feasibil...

The FCC’s proposed net neutrality policy change in 2014 was met with widespread public controversy and outrage. The FCC recently released to the public millions of comments that it received about the issue. It is abundantly clear that the vast majority of citizens prefer to have net neutrality intact, but what exactly are the people saying? What are their main arguments and reasons for wanting ...

An earlier paper showed that the homozygosity (of a population or sample) was a good statistic for testing departures from selective neutrality in the direction of heterozygote advantage or disadvantage. It is here shown that homozygosity is also influenced by the presence of deleterious alleles and by other departures from neutrality, but at a lower order of magnitude of effect if the selectio...

Under the current background of carbon neutrality, quantification neutrality in Qinling Mountains, calculation spatial service scope, and estimation economic value are great significance for improvement planning trading market. The Intelligent Urban Ecosystem Management System (IUEMS) was used to calculate sequestration Mountains. emission Mountains spatialized through model fitting, using nigh...

We report experimental data and theoretical analysis of Coulomb drag between two closely positioned graphene monolayers in a weak magnetic field. Close enough to the neutrality point, the coexistence of electrons and holes in each layer leads to a dramatic increase of the drag resistivity. Away from charge neutrality, we observe nonzero Hall drag. The observed phenomena are explained by decoupl...

With recent developments in machine learning technology, the predictions by systems incorporating machine learning can now have a significant impact on the lives and activities of individuals. In some cases, predictions made by machine learning can result unexpectedly in unfair treatments to individuals. For example, if the results are highly dependent on personal attributes, such as gender or ...

Supporters of net neutrality have often argued that more competition among Internet service providers (ISPs) is beneficial for an open Internet and that the market power of the ISPs lies at the heart of the net neutrality debate. However, the joint effects of the competition among ISPs and among content providers (CPs) have yet to be examined. We study the critical linkage between ISP competiti...
