In this article, a special node called the k(-)-out-of-n node, which cannot receive more than a certain amount of flows, is newly introduced. The acyclic multistate-node network (AMNN) that unsatisfied the flow conservation ...

In this paper, we kernelize conventional clustering algorithms from a novel point of view. Based on the fully mathematical proof, we first demonstrate that kernel KMeans (KKMeans) is equivalent to kernel principal component ...
This paper investigates ways of applying oscillator synchronization to graph coloring. A previous method based on the generalization of the Aihara model is sensitive to the varying degree of the vertices in the graph and ...

Organizational decision making often involves two
decision levels. When the leader at the upper level
attempts to optimize his/her objective, the follower at
the lower level tries to find an optimized strategy

The majority of research on bilevel programming has centered on the linear version
of the problem in which only one leader and one follower are involved. This paper
addresses linear bilevel multi-follower programming ...
This paper is the product of collaborative research with an economic historian (Riello). Of this paper, a reviewer commended it as: â¿¿aim [ing] to do something that fashion historians have both repeatedly aspired to and ...
A generic methodology to plan increasingly stable paths for mobile platforms travelling over uneven terrain is proposed in this paper. This is accomplished by extending the Fast Marching level-set method of propagating ...
I thought a Euro coin would be a good main character for my story, the perfect medium to go everywhere and traverses social strata, gender and culture. The story and character are a pretext to visit different European ...

This paper reports findings from a study of Labanotation, an
already established movement notation, as a design tool for
movement-based interaction where movements of the human
body are direct input to technology. Using ...

In this work, the development of a packed immobilized enzyme reactor (IMER) and its integration to a capillary electrophoresis microchip is described. The present microchip design differs from others, in the fact that the ...
Teaching multivariable control usually involves a certain level of mathematical sophistication and hence requires some labaratorial exemplification of the material given in formal lectures. This paper reports on a hands-on ...
The present study compared O2 exchange measurements, fluorometry and 14 C incubations for measuring productivity of sea-ice algae. It is demonstrated that brine leaking out of ice during freezing conditions is supersaturated ...
While research on globalisation can hardly be said to have ignored the phenomenon of the global corporation or the globally distributed supply chain, the focus has overwhelmingly been on 'globalization from above'¿on ...
