AbstrAct In this chapter, a few software architectures and platforms are discussed in relation with their ability to cope with business integration problems in large, geographically dispersed companies. Of these ar-chitectures, the three-tier architecture has reached maturity and proved its usefulness in solving these problems. As an illustration of its usefulness, two successful applications o...

This paper describes and compares application of wavelet basis and Block-Pulse functions (BPFs) for solving fractional integro-differential equation (FIDE) with a weakly singular kernel‎. ‎First‎, ‎a collocation method based on Haar wavelets (HW)‎, ‎Legendre wavelet (LW)‎, ‎Chebyshev wavelets (CHW)‎, ‎second kind Chebyshev wavelets (SKCHW)‎, ‎Cos and Sin wavelets (CASW) and BPFs are presented f...

NeuroGenesis is meant to be a feature that helps academic neurologists navigate a wide spectrum of issues that they face in their careers. It may seem to be a bit selfserving, then, for the Editor-in-Chief to take the podium first and focus the initial segments in this series on academic publishing. However, at most academic institutions, both in the USA and internationally, publication remains...

The volume of genomics and health data is growing rapidly, driven by sequencing for both research and clinical use. However, under current practices, the data is fragmented into many distinct datasets, and researchers must go through a separate application process for each dataset. This is time-consuming both for the researchers and the data stewards, and it reduces the velocity of research and...

In the last years, we have witnessed a remarkable effort to achieve theoretical frameworks that are able to explain the assortment of conflicts that are currently developing and which will probably be developed more frequently in the future. Taking into account the decline of interstate wars, concepts like Hybrid War appeared. However, some actors are generating dynamics that, moving away from ...
