This paper presents a novel model of co-reference knowledge, which is based on the distinction of (i) a model of a common reality, (ii) a model of an agent’s opinion about reality, and (iii) a model of agents’ opinions if they talk about the same object or not. Thereby it is for the first time possible to describe consistently the evolution of the agent’s knowledge and its relative consistency,...

An algorithm for the integration of meshes derived from range data is presented. All of the triangles from either mesh which have sampled the same surface patch of the object are identified as co-measurements and only the most confidently acquired one is kept. Co-measurement identification is based on the position and orientation of the range scanner when each triangle was sampled. Once the red...

Embedded system architectures comprising of software programmable components (e.g. DSP, ASIP, and micro-controller cores) and customized hardware co-processors, integrated into a single cost-efficient VLSI chip, are emerging as a key solution to today's microelectronics design problems. This trend is being driven by new emerging applications in the areas of wireless communication, highspeed opt...

Co-development processes are an instrument used in several industries to gain a competitive advantage and to reduce development costs. An overview of the literature is given with the identification of a gap in current literature: the patterns of supplier participation in new product development. The main goal of this article is to seek possible ways of controlling the supplier integration proce...

To achieve productive infection, the reverse transcribed cDNA of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is inserted in the host cell genome. The main protein responsible for this reaction is the viral integrase. However, studies indicate that the virus is assisted by cellular proteins, or co-factors, to achieve integration into the infected cell. The barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF)...

This paper tests for the e¤ects of increased trade and …nancial integration on business cycle co-movement. Using both quantitative theory and a reduced form empirical approach motivated by the theory, I measure and explain the channels from bilateral trade integration, …nancial integration, and industrial specialization to cyclical co-movement. The model is also used to measure the causal chann...

Research on income inequality and finance has become an increasingly popular research area in the post-crisis period. Fully modified (FMOLS) dynamic OLS (DOLS) co-integrated regression models are employed to empirically explore estimate long run co-integration vector for non-stationary panels between 2000 2016. The study finds that a NMS-11 with relatively lower integrated international financi...

This paper examines co-integration and the causal relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and the economic output or Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the both short and long run of Bangladesh, Pakistan and India over the period of 1972-2008. Three econometric models, viz. Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, Engle-Granger two-step co-integration test, Vector error correction mechanis...
