Explorative Location-based Applications (eLBA), define a new class of applications that rely on both positioning (i.e. location information) and georeferenced information in addition to a flexible and efficient system infrastructure that supports a mobile and ubiquitous usage. In this paper we define first a modeling framework to design eLBAs that builds on the concept of tasks as a very valuab...

• Review on the FEW nexus and modeling approaches to get insight into existing research, nine clusters could be identified A significant increase in publications since 2015 can observed In topic water is most represented, followed by energy food. However, terms system, resource, model, study, change, development, management also appear very important, which indicates importance of a holistic ap...

This paper examines the connection of immigration and diversity to homicide by advancing a recently developed approach to modeling spatial dynamics-geographically weighted regression. In contrast to traditional global averaging, we argue on substantive grounds that neighborhood characteristics vary in their effects across neighborhood space, a process of "spatial heterogeneity." Much like treat...

Deregulation of cap-dependent translation is associated with cancer initiation and progression. The rate-limiting step of protein synthesis is the loading of ribosomes onto mRNA templates stimulated by the heterotrimeric complex, eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)4F. This step represents an attractive target for anticancer drug discovery because it resides at the nexus of the TOR signaling path...

Here were demonstrate in Rana pipiens ventricle a nexus with very unusual morphology. This tissue has been reported previously to lack nexuses. The nexus appears in thin sections of ventricle, fixed in aldehyde and OsO4 or permanganate as a series of punctate membrane appositions regularly alternating with regions of membrane separation. The junctional width at membrane appositions, as determin...

A large two-body scattering length leads to universal behavior in few-body systems. In particular, the three-body system displays interesting features such as exact discrete scale invariance in the bound state spectrum in the limit of infinite scattering length. Here, I will discuss how an effective field theory (EFT) can be used to study these features and how the finite range of the underlyin...

Very significant advances have been made in the relativistic theory of few body systems since I visited Peter Sauer and his group in Hannover in 1983. This talk provides an opportunity to review the progress in this field since then. Different methods for the realtivistic calculation of few nucleon systems are briefly described. As an example, seven relativistic calculations of the deuteron ela...

Since 1998, Dutch policymakers have developed a terminology related to the Islam-security nexus. This has been consequently maintained during 25 years, with very few changes or adaptations, even though it always source of confusion among themselves as well politicians and public. article demonstrates how this terminological paper trail established entrenched in bureaucracy, why is cause for suc...
