Today scientists are producing large volumes of data that they wish to explore and visualize. In this paper we describe a system that combines range-based queries with fast lookup to allow a scientist to quickly and efficiently ask “what if?” questions. Unique to our system is the ability to perform “cumulative queries” that work on both an intraand inter-time step basis. The results of such qu...

We assume that the convex set K is presented by an oracle. We shall consider two kinds of oracles: • Separation Oracle: we ask if a point x is in K. If x ∈ K, the oracle answers ”yes”. If x / ∈ K the oracle returns a half-space H such that K ⊂ H and x / ∈ K. In addition, we are given two numbers r,R ∈ R such that there exists a point x0 (unknown) satisfying x0 + rBn ⊂ K ⊂ RBn. • Membership Orac...

Facebook has established itself as one of the major players in social networking, claiming that it helps members connect and share with the people in their lives. But what if the people you want to connect and share with are your artistic collaborators? Can Facebook be used creatively, as a collaborative artistic environment? This paper explores the creative use of Facebook as a tool for creati...

In the go/no-go lexical decision task (LDT), participants are instructed to respond as quickly as they can when a word is presented and not to respond if a nonword is presented. By minimizing part of the response selection process in the experimental task, the impact of response decision time on the obtained lexical decision time is probably reduced relative to the standard yes/no LDT (Gordon, ...

one of the most important issues in the occultation age that has been discussed by islamic jurists is whether the implementation of hudod punishment is allowed during the occultation age of infallible imam or not. the jurists have different opinions about this issue that we could generally categorize such opinions into three groups. the majority of jurists believe in the permissibility of perfo...

Rough set theory is used for dealing with uncertainty in the hidden pattern of data. This paper outlines concepts of the rough set theory for lower and upper approximations, reduction of attributes and decision rules. It assumes that the information about the real world is given in the form of an information table which represents input data, gathered from any domain, such as, medicine, finance...

In most cultures, “yes” is indicate by a vertical head movement (nod), while “no” is indicated by a left-right movement (shake). In this paper, we show that basic symmetries can explain this cultural phenomenon. 1 Formulation of the Problem In most cultures, “yes” is indicated by a vertical head movement (nod), while “no” is indicated by a left-right movement (shake); see, e.g., [1]. There are ...
