The following lemma is implied by Theorem 1 in Abbasi-Yadkori et al. (2011): Lemma 7. (Abbasi-Yadkori et al., 2011) Let (F ′ t; t ≥ 0) be a filtration, (mt; t ≥ 1) be an R-valued stochastic process such that mt is (F ′ t−1)-measurable, (ηt; t ≥ 1) be a real-valued martingale difference process such that ηt is (F ′ t)-measurable. For t ≥ 0, define ξt = ∑t τ=1mτητ and Mt = Id + ∑t τ=1mτm T τ , wh...

RAMA (Remote Access to Museum Archives) software permits simultaneous access to documentary multimedia databases of European museums. The challenge awaiting specialists in museums, universities, and cultural institutions when the cost of telecommunication go down, for the general public to access cultural heritage information, will lie in the use of common standards by the museum community.

A café table is a traditional setting for conversation. Tabletop displays may have an active role in this connection. In particular for a museum scenario, conversation after the visit is important for a joint elaboration of a small group visit experience. We propose the museum café as the location to introduce a tabletop display meant to foster and support conversation about the visit. The goal...

Though the Orsay Museum may be def ied as a "museum of fine arts", its design and broad range of artistic disciplines have widened the scope of the model inherited from the la...

We have proposed Meta-Museum as a new knowledge sharing environment where experts and novices can communicate with each other with agent support. Museum exhibitions are thought to be well organized representations of the expert knowledge of curators, but they are just one example of structures of knowledge among many possibilities, given to museum visitors in a one-sided way. Therefore, traditi...

İnsanların kişisel özellikleri olduğu gibi toplumların da kültür denilen kendilerine özgü değer yargıları ve alışkanlıkları vardır. Kültür, geçmişin yükünü taşır gelecek kuşaklara gebe olur. Arapların, kendi kültürlerini bir kuşaktan diğerine aktarmak için başvurdukları en güçlü vasıta şiirleridir. İslam öncesi dönemden bugünlere kadar Arapların savaşlarda gösterdikleri kahramanlıklar, övgüye l...

The influence of the gender system on the fertility transition has been demonstrated by many studies especially during the last three decades (Mason 1987, 2001, Sathar et al. 2001, Abbasi-Shvazi et al. 2009), Since the International Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo in 1994 which stipulated that gender equality is a prerequisite for the achievement of fertility decline, gen...
