We introduce the Farrell-Jones Conjecture with coefficients in an additive category with G-action. This is a variant of the Farrell-Jones Conjecture about the algebraic Kor L-Theory of a group ring RG. It allows to treat twisted group rings and crossed product rings. The conjecture with coefficients is stronger than the original conjecture but it has better inheritance properties. Since known p...

Although contract reparations have been extensively studied in the context of deontic logics, there is not much literature using reparations in automatabased deontic approaches. Contract automata is a recent approach to modelling the notion of contract-based interaction between different parties using synchronous composition. However, it lacks the notion of reparations for contract violations. ...

We present a generalization of spatial power indexes able to overcome their main limitations, namely: i) the excessive concentration of power measures; ii) the too high sensitivity to players’ location in the ideological space. Voters’ propensity to support an issue is modeled via a random utility function with two additive terms: the deterministic term accounts for voters’ preference-driven/pr...

Abstract The effects of tori-line streamer types on seabirds avoidance were examined with the data from Japanese observer program in southern bluefin tuna fishery. Nominal catch rates (catch/1000 hooks) and per-capita catch rates (catch/1000 hooks/albatross abundance) were compared between “WCPFC type” streamers and “Light type” (polypropylene band) streamers. There was no significant differenc...

In the demand for recreational fishing sites, an important explanatory variable differentiating sites is the unobserved expected catch rate. Since the observed catch rate is subject to sampling variability, using the average of a site’s observed catch rates causes the parameter estimator on catch to be biased downward. We develop and demonstrate a solution to this errors-in-variables problem wh...

Die über den Nachlass jetzt zugänglich gewordenen Korrespondenzen und zusätzlichen Dokumente und Texte vermitteln ungeachtet aller Nachlasslücken ein schärferes Bild der technisch-wissenschaftlichen, politischen und weltanschaulichen Entwicklung Konrad Zuses von den späten 20er bis in die 40er Jahre. Sie lassen deutlicher den Wandel von einem künstlerisch ambitionierten, technisch verspielten, ...

We present evidence for energetic charged particles emanating from partially-deuterided titanium foils (TiDx) subjected to non-equilibrium conditions. To scrutinize emerging evidence for low-temperature nuclear reactions, we investigated particle yields employing three independent types of highly-sensitive, segmented particle detectors over a six-year period. One experiment measuring neutron em...

Under increasing tensile load, the lifetime of a single catch bond counterintuitively increases up to a maximum and then decreases exponentially like a slip bond. So far, the characteristics of single catch bond dissociation have been extensively studied. However, it remains unclear how a cluster of catch bonds behaves under tensile load. We perform computational analysis on the following model...

For each k ≥ 2, we exhibit infinite families of prime k-component links with Jones polynomial equal to that of the k-component unlink.
