A 2 2 clocked buuered switch is a device used in data-processing networks for routing messages from one node to another. The message handling process of this switch can be modelled as a two-server, time slotted, queueing process with state space the number of messages (xn; yn) present at the servers at the end of a time slot. The (xn; yn)-process is a two-dimensional nearest-neighbour random wa...

This study is an application of neutrosophy to the dynamics of love, the most interesting social phenomena. The love dynamics were studied earlier by Strogatz (Strogatz, 1994), Radzicki (Radzicki, 1993), Rapport (Rapport, 1960), etc. Although Strogatz’s model (Strogatz, 1994) was originally intended only to motivate students, it makes several interesting and plausible predictions, and suggests ...

This rapport summarize the work that was done this last 6 month at ICSI in speaker recognition and speaker adaptation.

It is well known that a convolutional code can be viewed as a linear system over a nite eld. In this paper we develop this viewpoint for convolutional codes using several recent innovations from the systems theory literature. In particular we deene codes as behaviors of a set of compact support time trajectories over a vector space. We also consider several diierent representations of codes, in...

Notions of hospitality, community, and the fostering of rapport and connection are foundational concerns for conducting research across difference. Drawing on methodological literature, this paper considers how access to various communities and “good” data is structured by the notion that in order to develop rapport researchers accept the “food”, specifically “meat” offered by their hosts. When...

This chapter examines the way online language users enhance social interaction and group collaboration through the computer mediated communication (CMC) channel. For this, discourse analysis based on the linguistic politeness theoretical framework is applied to the transcripts of a real time online chat. Analysis of the data shows that online participants employ a variety of creative devices to...

We motivate and analyze a reaction-advection-di usion model for the dynamics of a phytoplankton species. The reproductive rate of the phytoplankton is determined by the local light intensity. The light intensity decreases with depth due to absorption by water and phytoplankton. Phytoplankton is transported by turbulent di usion in a water column of given depth. Furthermore, it might be sinking ...

The problem of setting route directives in a motorway network is formulated as a dynamic game problem. After restricting attention to a Nash equilibrium, a search procedure for such an equilibrium is proposed.

The algebraic structure of the set of doubly stochastic circulants is that of a semi-ring. The concept of a prime in the doubly stochastic circulants is introduced in this paper and examples are given. The classiication of a prime in the doubly stochastic circulants is equivalent to the solvability of a linear equation over a doubly stochastic circulant. A representation of doubly stochastic ci...
