Prospect Hill virus (PH) was isolated from a meadow vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus) in 1982, and much of its genome has been sequenced. Hantaviruses of other New World microtine rodents have not been genetically characterized. We show that another Microtus species (the California vole M. californicus) from the United States is host to a genetically distinct PH-like hantavirus, Isla Vista virus (...

Automated service composition is an important approach to automatically aggregate existing functionality. While different planning algorithms are applied in this area, heuristic search is currently not used. Lacking features like the creation of compositions with parallel or alternative control flow are preventing its application. The prospect of using heuristic search for composition with qual...

We propose and analyze a technique that allows one to suppress inelastic collisions and simultaneously enhance elastic interactions between cold polar molecules. The main idea is to cancel the leading dipole-dipole interaction with a suitable combination of static electric and microwave fields in such a way that the remaining van der Waals-type potential forms a three-dimensional repulsive shie...

to cope with the urban congestion problem resulted from rapid urbanization some cities are successfully using electronic road pricing policy as a demand management measure. in 1982, hong kong governmenttook initiative to experiment electronic road pricing in hong kong. though, the project outcome reveals that electronic road pricing could bring tremendous economic, social and environmental bene...

Although advances in wireless networks and the increasing availability of mobile end devices raise the prospect of ubiquitous access to network-based services, such access must cope with an inherent mismatch between the high bandwidth, relatively static connection requirements of many services and the low bandwidth, limited resource, and dynamic nature of mobile clients. In this paper, we descr...

Prospect theory is a descriptive theory of how individuals choose among risky alternatives. The theory challenged the conventional wisdom that economic decision makers are rational expected utility maximizers. We present a number of empirical demonstrations that are inconsistent with the classical theory, expected utility, but can be explained by prospect theory. We then discuss the prospect th...

In this paper we address the problem of how to integrate diverse aspects of knowledge management into an integrated model that would increase understanding of how to depict knowledge management from the perspective of systems methodology, and would help to overcome the gap between knowledge creation and knowledge adoption. We propose a Committing, Convincing, Adjusting World and Adjusting Self ...

Prospect theory (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979) predictions were examined in light of ethnocentrism and intergroup conflict. An experiment conducted at the outset of the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the U.S., U. K. and their allies explored American and British participants’ preferences for certain versus uncertain gains and losses concerning Iraqi, American, and British lives. In four conditions, parti...
