One basic assumption to consider an additive utility function is the preferential independence. When interacting criteria are considered, this condition might be violated and a substitute to the classical weighted mean has to be adopted. The Choquet integral seems to be an adequate aggregation operator that extends the weighted mean and the ordered weighted average (OWA). The axiomatics that supports the Choquet integral is presented as well as its behavioral analysis with regards to veto and favor effects, degree of disjunction and measure of dispersion. One illustrative example of its application in the field of MCDM is provided. [less ▲]

We analyze the transmission of highly charged ions (HCI) through microcapillaries. The interaction of an HCI with the interval surface of the capillary is treated within the framework of linear response. In the limiting case of an ideal conducting cylindrical surface, the interaction reduces to a classical image potential. For Neq+ projectiles transmitting through a Ni capillary calculations for the impact parameter distribution and angular distribution of hollow atoms are presented. We find the fraction of transmitted projectiles which are partially neutralized in good agreement with recent experiments. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. [less ▲]

For determinations of the ultimate tension capacity of a piled foundation, often use is made of empirical relations between soil strength and skin friction. The disadvantage of these (analytical) methods is that they are in general not very accurate for most soil conditions. Therefore a numerical method for determination of the ultimate bearing capacity is presented here. Results were successively compared with actual test results which were measured during pile tests. It was found that the numerical model assessed the actual pile bearing capacity more closely than analytical models based on empirical calculation rules. Therefore lower factors of safety can be accepted. The behaviour of the (virtual) interface between pile and soil significantly influences the behaviourof the pile. [less ▲]

A new method for distributed resource allocation is called market{based control. Market{based control systems im- itate the behavior of an economic system; some applica- tions of this method exist in the eld of distributed com- puter and telecommunications systems. A new eld of application is the control of dynamic systems. In this work, the market{based approach is used for optimal con- trol which is still one of the important methods of control theory. Unfortunately, even though most researchers in this area deal with complex systems, they omit the math- ematical background. For this reason, our work focuses on a mathematical description of a market{based control algorithm especially for linear dynamic systems in order to explain the relationship between economic and control systems. It is shown that the optimal control problem can be considered as a special kind of a resource distribution problem. Therefore, the fact that in economic systems re- sources are optimally distributed in a decentralized man- ner even in large and complex systems is very interesting. The obtained algorithm in the case of a linear system is characterized by a very e ective computation and easy understanding. [less ▲]

The transmission of highly charged ions (HCI) through microcapillaries is investigated. The interaction of an HCI with the internal surface of the capillary is described in terms of a classical image potential. For Neq+ projectiles transmitted through a Ni capillary the impact parameter distribution and angular distribution of ions leaving the microcapillary is determined. We consider both a narrowly focussed and a dispersive incident beam relative to the acceptance angle of the capillary. Our results are compared with recent experiments. [less ▲]

Comparing sequences is a very important activity both in computer science and in a many other areas as well. For example thank to text editors, everyone knows the particular instance of a sequence comparison problem knonw as ``string mathcing problem''. It consists in searching a given work eventually with errors, in a long text. Among the wide literature about sequence comparison problems this paper focuses on those problems which arestricty related with molecular biology. These problems are significant representatives of formal problems in the ``computational biology'', a discipline recently born whose aim is the formalization and the analysis of biological discrete problems. http://matrix.iei.pi.cnr.it/~lenzini/papers/pcr-cissc98.ps.gz 2018-09-18 22:51:18 +0000 2019-06-15 18:30:42 +0200 [less ▲]

Personal Homepages (HPs) belong to an emerging genre. Confronted with a kind of text which is still rather undefined, whose form and content are not fixed and to which they haven't had exposure before, authors of HPs tend to take as their model other personal HPs, thus ultimately participating in the conventionalization of a genre. By examining the system of deictic elements that can be found in personal HPs, I study these emerging patterns and show rules of function and stylistic characteristics of these texts. This ultimately leads to a tentative definition of the genre of personal HPs. [less ▲]

In both the United States and the European Union the fundamental concept for the food and environmental safety assessment of products derived from modern biotechnology is the concept of substantial equivalence, where the novel product is compared to a closely related product that has an accepted standard of safety. The concept was initially introduced by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) (WHO, 1991). In 1992, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) elaborated the underlying concept and introduced the term “substantial equivalence” (OECD, 1993). The application of substantial equivalence has since been reinforced by international expert bodies (WHO, 1995; FAO, 1996) and has been adopted by regulatory authorities in most countries. [less ▲]

Comparisons have been made between the channel currents in GaAs hESFETs prepared on GaAs buffer layers prepared at normal and low temperatures. All devices made on LT buffer layers had saturated channel currents which were about 20% of similar devices on a normal buffer. An attempt was made to remove Ga vacanciies from the LT buffer by a high temperature anneal step before the epitaxial layer was prepared. This had no effect in increasing the channel current. In all cases the pinchoiy voltage was unchanged indicating constancy of the channel thickness and donor concentration. It is concluded that the loss of current is due to a loss of mobile charge through trapping. [less ▲]
