In supra-adaptive logistics systems, operative workers must be able to quickly and precisely retrieve objects from large storage areas with minimal training. We explore concepts toward providing workers with location-based wayfinding and picking information on mobile and spatial displays, varying both visualization schemes (1D: textual descriptions, 2D: map-based overviews and 3D: AR-based arro...

This dissertation asks the question to what extent functional policy-making authority allocations determine the applying of successful policy instruments by local governments in optimising their ability to provide local public goods given system specific transaction costs. I will develop a model to formulate the contextual relations and the behavioral uncertainties related to the employment of ...

This article has evolved from a research project following a micro-level approach to the postwar ‘agricultural revolution’. Above all, it focuses on the diversity of post-1945 agricultural development, i.e. the various ways farming actors experienced, interpreted and acted upon the natural and societal structures of their rural lifeworlds, thereby reproducing and/or transforming the local, regi...

This paper examines 472 securities that were listed on Nasdaq and moved to the NYSE or Amex. When Nasdaq market makers avoid odd-eighth quotes, bid-ask spreads are large and decline dramatically with exchange listing. When market makers use both odd and even eighths. spreads are smaller and decline only slightly with exchange listing The large spreads observed when Nasdaq market makers avoid od...

Humans who have astigmatism resulting in meridional amblyopia exhibit deficits in performing visual tasks at or near detection thresholds. However, there is mounting evidence supporting the idea that performance at threshold may not reliably predict visual capabilities at supra-threshold levels of stimulation. In this study the threshold and supra-threshold performance of six meridional amblyop...

Protein dynamics occurring on a wide range of timescales play a crucial role in governing protein function. Particularly, motions between the globular rotational correlation time (τc ) and 40 μs (supra-τc window), strongly influence molecular recognition. This supra-τc window was previously hidden, owing to a lack of experimental methods. Recently, we have developed a high-power relaxation disp...

 The main purpose of this paper is to study the existence of afixed point in locally convex topology generated by fuzzy n-normed spaces.We prove our main results, a fixed point theorem for a self mapping and acommon xed point theorem for a pair of weakly compatible mappings inlocally convex topology generated by fuzzy n-normed spaces. Also we givesome remarks in locally convex topology generate...

Spinal tuberculosis is the commonest form of skeletal tuberculosis accounting for about 50% of osteo articular tuberculosis [1]. Spinal tuberculosis is a common infectious disease found in developing countries like India. Often patients present with Pott’s disease related paraplegia attended by "destruction of vertebral body, lamina, pedicle and spinous process with perivertebral abscess" Intra...

‎Assume that $A$ is a Banach algebra‎. ‎We define the‎ ‎$beta-$topology and the $gamma-$topology on the space $QM_{el}(A^{*})$ of all bounded extended left quasi-multipliers of $A^{*}.$‎ ‎We establish further properties of $(QM_{el}(A^{*}),gamma)$ when $A$ is a $C^{*}-$algebra‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we characterize the $gamma-$dual‎ ‎of $QM_{el}(A^{*})$ and prove that $(QM_{el}(A^{*}),gamma)^{*},$...
