The connection matrix is a powerful algebraic topological tool from Conley index theory, subfield of dynamics. theory purely generalization Morse in which the subsumes role boundary operator. Over last few decades, Conley’s approach to dynamics has been cast into computational form. In this paper we introduce and categorical framework for theory. Broadly speaking, contribution promotes computat...

Broadly speaking, the history of 802.11 security is an attempt to address two major problems. The first problem is that the protocols used to authenticate network users were not strong, so unauthorized users could easily access network resources. Second, the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) system proved insufficient for a number of wellpublicized reasons. Our white paper “What’s Wrong With WEP?”...

This research developed and tested a model of turnover contagion in which the job embeddedness and job search behaviors of coworkers influence employees’ decisions to quit. In a sample of 45 branches of a regional bank and 1,038 departments of a national hospitality firm, multilevel analysis revealed that coworkers’ job embeddedness and job search behaviors explain variance in individual “volun...

In this paper we introduce RankPL, a modeling language that can be thought of as a qualitative variant of a probabilistic programming language with a semantics based on Spohn’s ranking theory. Broadly speaking, RankPL can be used to represent and reason about processes that exhibit uncertainty expressible by distinguishing “normal” from “surprising” events. RankPL allows (iterated) revision of ...

This paper proposes a novel method to design exactly linear phase infinite impulse response half-band filters with arbitrary regularity. Broadly speaking, the design problem is formulated as a semi-infinite program, which is then turned into a semidefinite program of minimal order via a new linear matrix inequality characterization of convex hulls of trigonometric polynomials. In contrast to ma...

This document is a brief survey of research literature on vehicular networking. Broadly speaking, research publications on vehicular networking can be grouped into two categories: (i) WAVE (IEEE 802.11p and IEEE 1609.1-1609.4) papers, and (ii) VANET papers. Papers on WAVE mostly assume single-hop V2V, V2I and I2V communications, while the VANET papers focus on multi-hop V2V networks. The sectio...

Malignant pleural effusions are both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians. A reasonable approach used at our institution for diagnosing malignant effusions is presented. The presence of a malignant effusion generally portends a worse outcome, and thus preserving quality of life is of utmost importance in its management. Clinicians must balance the morbidity of aggressive diagno...

Economic governance in Australia has undergone radical changes since the 1970s. Many of these changes are associated with the market-oriented policies collectively referred to as ‘microeconomic reform’. Broadly speaking, microeconomic reform can be defined as government policies or initiatives aimed at improving the performance and/or the efficiency of industries or sectors in the economy (Fors...

Her comments on my work cover a rich variety of topics. I won't try to comment on everything she has to say, but she has focused on a number of issues that I have also thought about and think are important. Broadly speaking we do agree, I believe, about the role of models in the philosophy of science and also in various parts of science as well. I have several comments, so I will highlight each...

Broadly speaking, there are three accounts of well-being: mental state accounts, objective list accounts and desire fulfilment accounts (Parfit, 1984) The latter two perspectives have arguably had a much greater influence on academic debate, particularly in economics, and certainly on public policy (Diener and Seligman, 2004). For example, governments routinely target poverty, unemployment, lit...
