In the last programming period of European Maritime Fisheries Fund, Local Action Groups (FLAGs) have been in charge meeting objectives Union Priority 4, aimed at boosting territorial cohesion and employment coastal areas. These local partnerships hence received support for elaboration development strategies that should promote both sectorial projects, balancing interests different stakeholders ...

This paper defines, for each graph G, a flag vector fG. The flag vectors of the graphs on n vertices span a space whose dimension is p(n), the number of partitions on n. The analogy with convex polytopes indicates that the linear inequalities satisfied by fG may be both interesting and accessible. Such would provide inequalities both sharp and subtle on the combinatorial structure of G. These m...

The shifted QR algorithm can be interpreted as a nonlinear discrete dynamical system on the flag manifold. In the complex case we describe the reachability sets as orbits of a group action and prove non-controllability of the algorithm. In contrast, the algorithm restricted on the subset of Hessenberg flags is generically controllable.

Software systems must adapt their behavior in response to changes in the environment or in the requirements they are supposed to meet. Despite adaptation capabilities could be modeled with great detail at design time, anticipating all possible adaptations is not always feasible. To address this problem the requirements model of the system, which also includes the adaptation capabilities, is con...

We previously obtained a congruence modulo four for the number of real solutions to many Schubert problems on a square Grassmannian given by osculating flags. Here, we consider Schubert problems given by more general isotropic flags, and prove this congruence modulo four for the largest class of Schubert problems that could be expected to exhibit this congruence.

We describe a two-party wire-tap channel of type II in the framework of almost affine codes. Its cryptological performance is related to some relative profiles of a pair of almost affine codes. These profiles are analogues of relative generalized Hamming weights in the linear case.

INTRODUCTION The effect of whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) on the biomarkers of oxidative stress, lysosomal enzymes, creatine kinase and cortisol was studied. MATERIAL AND METHODS The rowers underwent two 6-day training cycles: with pre-training daily WBC (temperature: from -125°C to -150°C) and without cryostimulation (control). Blood samples were taken before and after the third and sixth ...

We hypothesized that the individual hematological response to chemo/ radiotherapy may be used as a parameter to assess the degree of myeloablation and probability of transplant-related events. This study included 58 pediatric patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). White blood cell (WBC) ratio (pre-conditioning WBC: day 0 WBC), day 0 WBC count, and WBC ...
