In this paper the effect of posibilistic or mixed background risk on the level of optimal prevention is studied. In the framework of five purely possibilistic or mixed models, necessary and sufficient conditions are found such that the level of optimal saving decreases or increases as a result of the actions of various types of background risk. This way our results complete those obtained by Co...

This paper describes a Mixed Reality installation named Jellyfish Party, for enjoying playing with soap bubbles. A special feature of this installation is the use of a spirometer sensor to measure the amount and speed of expelled air used to blow virtual soap bubbles.

This paper investigates calling melodies produced by 21 Standard German native speakers on a discourse completion task across two contexts: (i) routine context—calling a child from afar to come in for dinner; (ii) urgent context—calling a child from afar for a chastising. The intent of this investigation is to bring attention to other calling melodies found in German beside the vocative chant a...

In this document, we introduce five additional examples that motivate our research on testing homogeneity. In particular, we show how to check the assumptions for two linear mixed models to validate the asymptotic distributions of the score test statistics. Then, we give the detailed derivation for the score test statistic. We present the result about the local power of the score test statistic...

Let L be the generalized mixed product ideal induced by a monomial ideal I. In this paper we compute powers of the genearlized mixed product ideals and show that Lk  have a linear resolution if and only if Ik have a linear resolution for all k. We also introduce the generalized mixed polymatroidal ideals and prove that powers and monomial localizations of a generalized mixed polymatroidal ideal...
