In this paper we propose a new approach to the depth sorting problem. Given a simplicial complex ? in IE d , our approach is based on the preliminary construction of a convex complex ? in IE d+1 , whose projection on IE d corresponds to ?, and on the representation of ? as a power diagram. This approach exhibits a O(m log m) runtime complexity to sort a simplicial complex with m cells and requi...

We are trying to extend the boundary of Information Extraction (IE) systems. Existing IE systems require a lot of time and human effort to tune for a new scenario. Preemptive Information Extraction is an attempt to automatically create all feasible IE systems in advance without human intervention. We propose a technique called Unrestricted Relation Discovery that discovers all possible relation...

The riots in Stockholm in May 2013 were an event that reverberated in the world media for its dimension of violence that had spread through the Swedish capital. In this study we have investigated the role of social media in creating media phenomena via text mining and natural language processing. We have focused on two channels of communication for our analysis: Twitter and Poloniainfo.se (Foru...

We present a novel Monte Carlo simulation of the phase separation dynamics of a model fluid membrane. Such a phase segregation induces shape changes of the membrane and results in local ‘budding’ under favourable conditions. We present a preliminary investigation of the nucleation regime and compute a variety of growth laws. Our study indicates that membranes with high viscosity, buckle on acco...

This study examines the importance of physical and psychological predictors work sample performance within Swedish police Counterterrorism Intervention Assessment Selection (CTIAS) process (N = 160). CTIAS consists a 4-day prescreening (Phase 1) 10-day test 2). Applicants may withdraw freely or be stopped by board (if they do not fulfill requirement criteria) at any moment throughout Phases 1 2...

Control of the timing of the inspiratory/expiratory (IE) phase transition is a hallmark of respiratory pattern formation. In principle, sensory feedback from pulmonary stretch receptors (Breuer-Hering reflex, BHR) is seen as the major controller for the IE phase transition, while pontine-based control of IE phase transition by both the pontine Kölliker-Fuse nucleus (KF) and parabrachial complex...

The organizational structure of the police is characterized by the existence of a centralized command with the task of distributing and redistributing the police force in a region according to an analysis of crime and the factors that lead to it. On the other hand, criminals are characterized as a decentralized system in which individual agents have autonomy and act primarily based on accumulat...

This study assessed the correlates of self-control and police contact in a sample of Chicago public high school students. The investigation examined the effects of parental attachment/identification, family structure, and peer association on self-control and the effects of parental attachment/identification, family structure, peer association, and self-control on police contact. Differences bet...
