We examine the introduction of the voluntary filing program (VFP) by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the introduction of XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language), or Interactive Data as called in the US. XBRL is a machine-readable standardized format for financial reports. The VFP allowed firms to file annual and quarterly reports using XBRL. This program represents a quas...

We review the renormalization group method applied to non-equilibrium dynamics by tracing the way how the hydrodynamic equations can be derived as reduced dynamics of the Boltzmann equation as a typical example.

This work focuses on cost reduction methods for forest species recognition systems. Current state-of-the-art shows that the accuracy of these systems have increased considerably in the past years, but the cost in time to perform the recognition of input samples has also increased proportionally. For this reason, in this work we focus on investigating methods for cost reduction locally (at eithe...

This paper discusses the application of plant-wide control philosophy to enhance the performance and capacity of the Produced Water Treatment (PWT) in offshore oil & gas production processes. Different from most existing facilityor material-based PWT innovation methods, the objective of this work is to propose a software-based breakthrough PWT innovation solution. This is achieved through integ...

This paper introduces how green marketing influences the sustainable development of garment industry. It analyses the cost and profit to implement green marketing, both in a short term and in the long run. In a short term the cost may increase. However, in the long run, the income will overweigh the cost. There’re five reasons: reduced cost, expanding export by broking down green barriers, esta...

Let $R$ be a ring, $sigma$ be an endomorphism of $R$ and $M_R$ be a $sigma$-rigid module. A module $M_R$ is called quasi-Baer if the right annihilator of a principal submodule of $R$ is generated by an idempotent. It is shown that an $R$-module $M_R$ is a quasi-Baer module if and only if $M[[x]]$ is a quasi-Baer module over the skew power series ring $R[[x,sigma]]$.

In this paper we study the module contractibility ofBanach algebras and characterize them in terms the conceptssplitting and admissibility of short exact sequences. Also weinvestigate module contractibility of Banach algebras with theconcept of the module diagonal.

abstract. let (r,p) be a noetherian unique factorization do-main (ufd) and m be a finitely generated r-module. let i(m)be the first nonzero fitting ideal of m and the order of m, denotedord_r(m), be the largest integer n such that i(m) ⊆ p^n. in thispaper, we show that if m is a module of order one, then either mis isomorphic with direct sum of a free module and a cyclic moduleor m is isomorphi...

In this paper, the effect of the cell-temperature on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) module is evaluated. The evaluation is based on a mathematical module (single diode equivalent circuit) and practically based on solar module tester (SMT). Solara®130W PV crystalline silicon module was used in this simulation. The SMT is able to supply a constant irradiance level (1000W/m2) or any other de...
