In this paper we present some new versions of Brooks-Jewett and Dieudonné-type theorems for (l)-group-valued measures.

We propose new visualization techniques for the user behaviors when using search engine results pages. Our visualization method provides an overview of a user’s actual visual behavior using the logs for eye-movement data and browser link-clicking. We also report on the eye-movement data collected from user experiments.

An analysis of the climate parametrization scheme adopted by conventional forest gap models revealed that most models assume a constant climate and are difficult to calibrate consistently. Tree growth showed unrealistically sensitive threshold effects along ecological gradients of temperature and precipitation. A new parametrization was compared with its predecessors in terms of the model's cap...

BACKGROUND Pay for performance (P4P) schemes have become increasingly popular innovations in primary care and have generated questions about their effect on improving quality of care. AIMS To provide a brief outline of the international evidence on the relationship between P4P schemes and quality improvement. METHOD We conducted a literature search using relevant databases and reference lis...

quasicrystals are a group of materials with the quasi-periodic structure, and since their discovery in 1980 their specially interesting physical properties have attracted the attention of many researchers. the lack of translational periodicity makes the numerical calculations of their physical properties much more difficult than the crystalline solids. in this work we present a detailed numeric...
