Up to now, however, any advanced information demands that concern facts from multiple Web pages, let alone a logical connection between them, are inherently beyond the answering capabilities of search engines. This is why our approach is to collect information from Web sites and to organize it in a huge knowledge struc...

In the UK the annual cost of claims has risen to €1.5 bn annually. Similar increases have been encountered in Ireland. Clare Dyer1, an experienced legal correspondent, questions the value and effectiveness of the current tort systems. It doesn’t appear to be making the patient safer. The present arrangement is expensive both in time and money. The court costs are substantial and sizable porti...

We discuss the forward and inverse problems between the potential V (x) measured in a heart chamber and its sources represented by a dipole density d(y) located on the heart wall. We show that the mapping from d(y) to V (x) is a compact integral operator. Its inverse is unbounded which makes the inverse problem ill-posed in the mathematical sense. We investigate methods to solve the inverse pro...

We study political distortions that emerge in situations where agents’ political power is disproportionate with respect to their economic power. We use the Shapley value to evaluate both the economic and the political power. We show that usual weighted majority voting cannot prevent political distortions from emerging in a huge mass of situations. Distortions are less severe if partners can lea...

For many years (e.g., Cherry, 1953), hearing care professionals have understood the advantage of listening with two ears compared with one. In addition to improved intelligibility of speech in quiet, noisy, and reverberant environments, binaural versus monaural listening improves perceived sound quality and decreases the effort listeners must expend in order to understand a target voice of inte...

This paper describes how a document can be protected against plagiarism without the need to use heavy copy protection systems, as despite they are hard to break, they make the lives of legitimate users very difficult.
