Much remains to be done before agricultural trade is as liberal as world trade in manufactures. But agriculture is distorted by more than agricultural policies. In developing countries especially, farming is discouraged not only by farm protection policies in high-income countries but also by those countries' own manufacturing policies and distortions to services markets. This paper explores th...

This paper proposes an automatic acquisition method for preparation roles (PRs) and utilization roles (URs), which are analogues of agentive and telic roles in Generative Lexicon Theory. URs roughly express the purpose and function of a given object, and are defined as paraphrases of expressions such as “using an object” or “enjoying an object.” A PR of an object is defined as an expression ref...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to highlight undergraduates as an emergent student–scholar author group and to encourage institutions to take a future-oriented view, focusing greater attention to and support of undergraduate’s publishing. Design/methodology/approach – Highlighting benefits derived from undergraduate research (UR) experiences and publishing taken from the literature and e...

In a recent Letter [1] (and in ref. [2]), Filipponi, Pancheri and Srivastava report on the construction of a formula for linear Regge trajectories for all quark flavors: α j ¯ i (t) = 0.57 − (m i + m j) GeV + 0.9 GeV 2 1 + 0.2 (m i +m j GeV) 3/2 t, (1) where m i , m j are the corresponding constituent quark masses for the j ¯ i trajectory. As the authors of [1, 2] remark, no unique quark mass c...

It is well known that the category of super Lie groups (SLG) is equivalent to the category of super Harish-Chandra pairs (SHCP). Using this equivalence, we define the category of unitary representations (UR’s) of a super Lie group. We give an extension of the classical inducing construction and Mackey imprimitivity theorem to this setting. We use our results to classify the irreducible unitary ...

Introduction: Delivered dose of solute removal (assessed by Kt/v) is an important determinant of clinical outcome in chronic dialysis patients. The gold standard for Kt/v is the direct quantification of the removed urea. A new method, ionic dialysance has been suggested and used over the years. This method is faster, less expensive and non invasive. The objective of this study is to determine t...

In recent years, several combinatorial problems were introduced in the area of access control. Typically, such problems deal with an authorization policy, seen as a relation UR ⊆ U ×R, where (u, r) ∈ UR means that user u is authorized to access resource r. Li, Tripunitara and Wang (2009) introduced the Resiliency Checking Problem (RCP), in which we are given an authorization policy, a subset of...
