Grain production is one of the Ukrainian agro-industrial complex main branches. An indicator of the grain production efficiency is its profitability. It is characterized by significant annual fluctuations that induce risk. Redistribution of existing grain crops areas taking into consideration their profitability can bring to increase of production efficiency. The paper observes Markowitz’s opti...

Lattice numerical simulations for planar closed random walks and their winding sectors are presented. The frontiers of the random walks and of their winding sectors have a Hausdorff dimension dH = 4/3. However, when properly defined by taking into account the inner 0-winding sectors, the frontiers of the random walks have a Hausdorff dimension dH ≈ 1.77.

The main purpose of this paper is to determine the best performance time period of a system, consisting some DMUs, among some sequential time periods. This aim is satised by two proposed algorithms, the rst based on global Malmquist Productivity Index and the second is based on PPS frontiers.

Neural prostheses, or brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), have the potential to substantially increase quality of life for people suffering from motor disorders, including paralysis and amputation. These systems translate recorded neural signals into control signals that guide a paralyzed arm, artificial limb, or computer cursor. Although current laboratory demonstrations provide a compelling pro...

Addressing genetics, risk modeling, molecular targets for chemoprevention, clinical prevention trials, behavioral prevention research, public policy, and more, the Fifth Annual International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research, held in Boston, Massachusetts, in November 2006, added an outstanding new chapter to the landmark AACR Frontiers program for advancing the science and ...
