  • Too much of a good thing 
    Wood Leigh; D'Souza Sabita (Engineering Mathematics Group, ANZIAM, Australia, 2003)
  • Treating unobserved heterogeneity in PLS path modelling: A comparison of FIMIX-PLS with different data analysis strategies 
    Sarstedt Marko; Ringle Christian (Routledge, 2010)
    In the social science disciplines, the assumption that the data stem from a single homogeneous population is often unrealistic in respect of empirical research. When applying a causal modeling approach, such as partial ...
  • Tripartite Entanglement Transformations And Tensor Rank 
    Chitambar E; Duan Runyao; Shi Yuquan (Amer Physical Soc, 2008)
    A basic question regarding quantum entangled states is whether one can be probabilistically converted to another through local operations and classical communication exclusively. While the answer for bipartite systems is ...
  • Two exotic lookback options 
    Bermin Hans-Peter; Buchen Peter; Konstandatos Otto (Routledge, 2008)
    This paper formally analyses two exotic options with lookback features, referred to as extreme spread lookback options and look-barrier options, first introduced by Bermin. The holder of such options receives partial ...
  • A Two-Phase Algorithm For Product Part Change Utilizing AHP And PSO 
    Huang Pei; Tong L; Chang Wei-Wen; Yeh Wei-Chang (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011)
    This study presents a two-phase algorithm approach to deal with the issue of product part change, and the issue of supplier selection derived from the former. In the first step, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used ...
  • A Two-Stage Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization For The Problem Of Multiple Multi-Level Redundancy Allocation In Series Systems 
    Yeh Wei-Chang (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009)
    Nowadays, the redundancy allocation problem (RAP) is increasingly becoming an important tool in the initial stages of or prior to planning. designing, and control of systems. The multiple multi-level redundancy allocation ...
  • Two Types of Risk 
    Filar Jerzy; Kang Boda (Springer, 2006)
    The risk encountered in many environmental problems appears to exhibit special ¿two-sided¿ characteristics. For instance, in a given area and in a given period, farmers do not want to see too much or too little rainfall. ...
  • Unambiguous discrimination between mixed quantum states 
    Feng Yuan; Duan Runyao; Ying Mingsheng (American Physical Society, 2004)
    We prove that the states secretly chosen from a mixed state set can be perfectly discriminated if and only if they are orthogonal. The sufficient and necessary condition under which nonorthogonal mixed quantum states can ...
  • Unambiguous Discrimination Of Mixed Quantum States 
    Zhang Chengqi; Feng Yuan; Ying Mingsheng (Elsevier Science Bv, 2006)
    The problem of unambiguous discrimination between mixed quantum states is addressed by isolating the part of each mixed state which has no contribution to discrimination and by employing the strategy of set discrimination ...
  • Universal laws and economic phenomena 
    Gerig Austin (Wiley, 2011)
    Despite the idiosyncratic behavior of individuals, empirical regularities exist in social and economic systems. These regularities often arise from simple underlying mechanisms which, analogous to the natural sciences, can ...
  • The urban spread of visceral leishmaniasis: Clues from spatial analysis 
    Werneck G.; Costa C.; Walker A.; David J.; Wand Matthew; Maguire J. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc, 2002)
    Background. The pattern of spread of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazilian cities is poorly understood. Methods. We used geographic information systems and spatial statistics to evaluate the distribution of 1061 ...
  • The use of balanced incomplete block designs in designing randomized response surveys 
    Smith Narelle; Street Deborah (Blackwell Publishing, 2005)
    This paper investigatesthe block total response method proposed by Raghavarao and Federer for providing accurate estimates of the base rates of sensitive characteristics during surveys. It determines the best balanced ...
  • The Use of Stochastic Processes in Bridge Maintenance Optimisation 
    Samali Bijan; Crews Keith; Aboura Khalid; Li Jianchun (UTS ePress, 2009)
    We introduce an approach for modelling the structural deterioration of components of bridges for maintenance optimization purposes. The Markov chain model is found in the maintenance and repair problems since the early ...
  • Using Association Rules And Particle Swarm Optimization Approach For Part Change 
    Wang Her-Shing; Yeh Wei-Chang; Huang Pei; Chang Wei-Wen (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009)
    This study proposed on applying the Association Rule to the corporate maintenance center database, to investigate common dysfunctions associated with proper product using the products as instructed, so as to alter product ...
  • Using CSCL methods in secondary mathematics 
    D'Souza Sabita; Wood Leigh (Mathematics Educational Research Group of Australasia, 2002)
    This study compares computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) based instruction and traditional pen-and-paper methodologies and is aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using spreadsheets and collaborative ...
  • Using Infer.NET for statistical analyses 
    Wang S.; Wand Matthew (American Statistical Association, 2011)
    We demonstrate and critique the new Bayesian inference package Infer.NET in terms of its capacity for statistical analyses. Infer.NET differs from the well-known BUGS Bayesian inference packages in that its main engine is ...
  • Using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm For Partner Selection In Green Supply Chain Problems 
    Yeh Wei-Chang; Chuang Mei-Chi (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011)
    Partner selection is an important issue in the supply chain management. Since environment protection has been of concern to public in recent years, and the traditional supplier selection did not consider about this factor; ...
  • Using the Big Mac Index for comparing Construction Costs Internationally 
    Langston Craig; Best Eric (Queensland University of Technology, 2005)
    This paper explores the use of purchasing power parity (PPP) in the comparison of construction costs between different countries, and whether the development of construction-specific indices will improve reliability. The ...
  • Utility of gambling under p(olynomial)-additive joint receipt and segregation or duplex decomposition 
    Marley Anthony; T Ng; Luce R (Elsevier, 2009)
    This article continues our exploration of the utility of gambling, but here under the assumption of a non-additive but p(olynomial)-additive representation of joint receipt. That assumption causes the utility of gambling ...
