Recent developments in voting theory show that Condorcet profiles embedded in electorates are responsible for conflicts between pairwise voting methods and for reversals of rankings under positional methods whenever candidates are dropped or added. Because of the strong symmetry of the rankings of the candidates within these profiles, it can be argued that Condorcet profiles represent complete ...

Developing a detailed threat profile, provides organizations with a clear illustration of the threats that they face, and enables them to implement a proactive incident management program that focuses on the threat component of risk. Organizations are facing new types of advanced persistent threat (APT) scenarios that existing risk management programs are not able to evaluate completely and inc...

this research, applied as a survey approach aimed at investigating farmers’ tendency and attitudes toward agricultural water management styles (wmss). therefore, using cochran’s formula and simple random sampling, 244 farmers were selected in doroudzan region, iran. the data were acquired by face-to-face structural interviews and as well through a questionnaire that consisted of closed and open...

We present results from detailed computations focused on chemical mixing in convective regions of very low mass stars (VLMs) and brown dwarfs (BDs) during deuterium burning. Computations are made both in the instantaneous and in the coupled–diffusive mixing schemes to check which mixing is required to treat these phases. The convective timescale is much shorter than the nuclear time scales for ...

In this work we propose a lightweight scheme for negotiating client’s capabilities in the context of end-end content adaptation for wireless web access. Our method is much less complex then W3C’s proposed CC/PP framework. We suggest that for the purposes of content negotiation all (mobile) clients could be grouped into a few relatively large categories. With this assumption we simplify the CC/P...

In our recent paper “A simple tool for neuroimaging data sharing,” we introduced a system for sharing DICOM data. Addressing anonymization, we mentioned DICOM Supplement 551, the National Cancer Institute deidentification profile, and the default deidentification profile in XNAT’s DICOM Browser and noted the disagreement in these various anonymization profiles. While a careful analysis of anony...

Appearance of new services in facility management is possible only due to efficient usage of informational potential present in modern buildings. Such services (knowledge-based services) use information that is already present among the general data. Efficient usage of this information requires a close connection between the building automation and building management. This connection is carrie...

The abundance of new innovative data sources creates opportunities and challenges for all professions professionals working with information. One these is the management accountant (MA). Although their tasks have expanded over time especially recently, MAs not fully employed available internal external to describe, diagnose, visualize, predict prescribe possible solutions that enable smart deci...
