Eugene Garfield’s article, “Citation indexes for science” [Science 122, 108 (1955)], is interesting beyond doubt. If we had in our library a citation index such as he proposes, I should use it to advantage. Amid today’s overwhelming difficulties in scientific communication, however, this index would solve too few problems to justify its surely great cost at this time. Even though all the cited ...

Risk management in banking sector is a key issue linked to financial system stability and its importance has been elevated by technological developments and emergence of new financial instruments. In this paper, we improve the model previously defined for quantifying internal control impact on banking risks by automatizing the residual criticality estimation step of FMECA. For this, we defined ...

Abstract In this chapter, to improve the schedulability of high-criticality flows when network is running, we present a supply/demand bound function analysis method based on earliest deadline first (EDF) scheduling. addition, our considers both source routing and graph routing. At beginning, in low-criticality mode, applied. When errors or exceptions occur, switches turns guarantee that critica...

The recent article (Turalska et al., 2012) discusses the emergence of intelligence via criticality as a consequence of locality breakdown. Herein, we use criticality for the foundation of a novel generation of game theory making the local interaction between players yield long-range effects. We first establish that criticality is not confined to the Ising-like structure of the sociological mode...

An expenment on the stick slip dynamics of two elastic rough surfaces is descnbed. This dynamics produces a self organized cntical state on a wide

Self-organized criticality emerges in dynamical complex systems driven out of equilibrium and characterizes a wide range of classical phenomena in physics, geology, and biology. We report on a quantum coherence-controlled self-organized critical transition observed in the light localization behavior of a coherence-driven nanophotonic configuration. Our system is composed of a gain-enhanced plas...

Recent studies show that microprocessor performance or its energy efficiency can be improved, if we utilize information regarding instruction criticality. This paper investigates why we could not achieve low energy consumption and high performance simultaneously, and reveals there is a fundamental problem in heuristics to identify critical in-

This paper proposes a new methodology to build composite coincident and leading indexes. Based on a formal definition that requires that the first differences of the leading index is the best linear predictor of the first differences of the coincident index, it is shown that the notion of polynomial serial correlation common features can be used to build these composite variables. Concepts and ...

Prais (1958) showed that the standard CPI computed by most statistical agencies can be interpreted as a weighted average of household price indexes, where the weight of each household is determined by its total expenditures. In this paper, we decompose the difference between the standard CPI and a democratically weighted index (i.e., the CPI plutocratic gap) as the product of expenditure inequa...
