description: La colaboración interdisciplinar constituye una estrategia de trabajo imprescindible para abordar problemas complejos con garantías de calidad y éxito en el proceso. Las tecnologías de la información, en particular Internet y las plataformas de aprendizaje y colaboración en entornos virtuales, hacen posible nuevas formas de cooperación interdisciplinar en red. Investigadores y expertos vinculados a redes académicas, empresariales o gubernamentales son quienes más provecho pueden obtener de la colaboración interdisciplinar en entornos virtuales. Sin embargo, los desafíos de la interdisciplinariedad no se limitan a promover estrategias exitosas de cooperación puntual por Internet entre profesionales de las ciencias sociales y naturales; o entre entidades del ámbito académico o empresarial. Lo que está en juego es la capacidad de las instituciones más implicadas en la educación y la investigación para dotar a los futuros profesionales con el sentido de la responsabilidad y las habilidades que les permitan afrontar con éxito problemas complejos, donde los errores o el retraso en las soluciones (en temas como los referidos a la salud humana o el medio natural) pueden tener efectos devastadores.

description: Yushij is the dialect of Yush, a mountainous village in the Mazandaran province of Iran. An endangered variety of the Tabari language, Yushij exhibits transitional characteristics between Tabari proper, spoken in the urban centers of Mazandaran, and the Central Caspian language group, neither of which has received proper scholarly attention. This study offers an outline of phonology and morhosyntax of Yushij based on the texts collected a half a century ago. The texts are transcribed and translated here, followed by a glossary which offeres etymology for selected lexical items. This study may also offer clues to elucidate some ambiguous Tabari verses of the illustrious Persian poet Nima Yushij, whose works in his mother tongue have largely been overlooked because of their linguistic intricacies.
PPT-indistinguishable states via semidefinite programming

description: We show a simple semidefinite program whose optimal value is equal to the maximum probability of perfectly distinguishing orthogonal maximally entangled states using any PPT measurement (a measurement whose operators are positive under partial transpose). When the states to be distinguished are given by the tensor product of Bell states, the semidefinite program simplifies to a linear program. In [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 020506 (2012) -- arXiv:1107.3224v1], Yu, Duan and Ying exhibit a set of 4 maximally entangled states in $C^4 \otimes C^4$, which is distinguishable by any PPT measurement only with probability strictly less than 1. Using semidefinite programming, we show a tight bound of 7/8 on this probability (3/4 for the case of unambiguous PPT measurements). We generalize this result by demonstrating a simple construction of a set of k states in $C^k \otimes C^k$ with the same property, for any k that is a power of 2. Finally, by running numerical experiments, we obtain some non-trivial results about the PPT-distinguishability of certain interesting sets of generalized Bell states in $C^5 \otimes C^5$ and $C^6 \otimes C^6$.

description: Recurrent karyotypic abnormalities are a characteristic feature of cervical cancer (CC) cells, which may result in deregulated expression of important genes that contribute to tumor initiation and progression. To examine the role of gain of the long arm of chromosome 20 (20q), one of the common chromosomal gains in CC, we evaluated CC at various stages of progression using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array, gene expression profiling, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) anal- yses. This analysis revealed copy number increase (CNI) of 20q in >50% of invasive CC and identified two focal amplicons at 20q11.2 and 20q13.13 in a subset of tumors. We further demonstrate that the acquisition of 20q gain occurs at an early stage in CC development and the high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) that exhibit 20q CNI are associated (P 5 0.05) with persistence or progression to invasive cancer. We identified a total of 26 overexpressed genes as consequence of 20q gain (N 5 14), as targets of amplicon 1 (N 5 9; two genes also commonly expressed with 20q gain) and amplicon 2 (N 5 6; one gene also commonly expressed with 20q gain). These include a number of functionally important genes in cell cycle regulation (E2F1, TPX2, KIF3B, PIGT, and B4GALT5), nuclear function (CSEL1), viral replication (PSMA7 and LAMA5), methylation and chromatin remodeling (ASXL1, AHCY, and C20orf20), and transcription regulation (TCEA2). Our findings implicate a role for these genes in CC tumorigenesis, represent an important step toward the development of clinically significant biomarkers, and form a framework for testing as molecular therapeutic targets.
A redshift - observation-time relation for gamma-ray bursts: evidence of a distinct sub-luminous population

description: We show how the redshift and peak-flux distributions of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have an observation time dependence that can be used to discriminate between different burst populations. We demonstrate how observation time relations can be derived from the standard integral distributions and that they can differentiate between GRB populations detected by both the BATSE and \emph{Swift} satellites. Using \emph{Swift} data we show that a redshift--observation-time relation (log\,$Z$\,--\,log\,$T$) is consistent with both a peak-flux\,--\,observation time relation (log\,$P$\,--\,log\,$T$) and a standard log\,$N$\,--\,log\,$P$ brightness distribution. As the method depends only on rarer small-$z$ events, it is invariant to high-$z$ selection effects. We use the log\,$Z$\,--\,log\,$T$ relation to show that sub-luminous GRBs are a distinct population occurring at a higher rate of order $150^{+180}_{-90} \mathrm{Gpc}^{-3}\mathrm{yr}^{-1}$. Our analysis suggests that GRB 060505 -- a relatively nearby GRB observed without any associated supernova -- is consistent with a sub-luminous population of bursts. Finally, we suggest that our relations can be used as a consistency test for some of the proposed GRB spectral energy correlations.

description: Persian surrounds much of the Tabari (or Māzandarāni) speaking area, that is, the province of Māzandarān south of the Caspian Sea. The transition zones between the two languages lay in the valleys and foothills of the Alborz range, which separates Māzandarān from the Iranian Plateau. Within this zone we find a range of hybrid dialects that are divided into two distinct groups: Persian dialects influenced by Tabari and vise versa. This study aims at the latter group, which we call Tabaroid, i.e., Tabari varieties carrying various amounts of Persian mix. The linguistic data come from some twenty villages in the south-central Alborz, separated from Tehran by a mountain ridge. The main objective here is to establish the dialectal and areal position of the Tabaroid varieties by closely examining their diachrony, phonology, and above all morphosyntax.

Forensic accounting involves the use of accounting skills, investigative techniques, and legal knowledge to uncover financial discrepancies and potential fraud. It plays a crucial role in legal proceedings and is often employed in situations such as fraud investigations, disputes, and litigation. Here's how forensic accounting relates to fraud investigation:
Fraud Detection:

Forensic accountants analyze financial records, transactions, and other relevant data to identify irregularities or suspicious activities.
They look for signs of fraud, such as unusual patterns in financial statements, discrepancies in accounts, or unauthorized transactions.
Investigative Techniques:

Forensic accountants use various investigative techniques, including data analysis, interviews, and document examination, to gather evidence of fraudulent activities.
They may reconstruct financial transactions and track the flow of funds to uncover fraudulent schemes.
Litigation Support:

Forensic accountants often provide support in legal proceedings by presenting their findings in a clear and understandable manner.
They may serve as expert witnesses, helping legal professionals and the court understand complex financial issues related to fraud.
Prevention and Risk Mitigation:

Forensic accountants also play a role in helping organizations prevent fraud by identifying weaknesses in internal controls and recommending improvements.
They may assist in implementing anti-fraud measures and policies to reduce the risk of future fraudulent activities.
Collaboration with Law Enforcement:

Forensic accountants may work closely with law enforcement agencies, providing them with the necessary financial evidence to support criminal investigations.
Asset Tracing:

In cases of fraud, forensic accountants may be involved in tracing and recovering misappropriated assets. This involves identifying where fraudulently obtained funds or assets have been moved or hidden.
Whistleblower Allegations:

Forensic accountants may be called upon to investigate allegations brought forward by whistleblowers, examining the financial aspects of the reported misconduct.
In summary, forensic accounting is a specialized field that encompasses various activities, including fraud investigation, aimed at uncovering financial wrongdoing, providing evidence for legal proceedings, and assisting in the prevention of future fraudulent activities.

description: We present a host-based intrusion detection system (IDS) for Microsoft Windows. The core of the system is an algorithm that detects attacks on a host machine by looking for anomalous accesses to the Windows Registry. The key idea is to first train a model of normal registry behavior on a windows host, and use this model to detect abnormal registry accesses at run-time. The normal model is trained using clean (attack-free) data. At run-time the model is used to check each access to the registry in real time to determine whether or not the behavior is abnormal and (possibly) corresponds to an attack. The system is effective in detecting the actions of malicious software while maintaining a low rate of false alarms.

description: The Tabari (or Mazanderani) language, spoken in the province of Mazanderan south of the Caspian Sea, is bound by Persian in the south and east. The transition zones between the two languages lay in the valleys and foothills of the Alborz range that separates Mazanderan from Tehran, Semnān, and Gorgān provinces. Within this zone we find a range of hybrid dialects that can be divided into two groups: Tabari dialects influenced by Persian and vise versa. This study includes the latter group, i.e. Persian varieties carrying various amounts of Tabari mix. The linguistic data is derived from nearly fifty localities surrounding Mazanderan, mostly from the south-central Alborz adjoining Tehran on the north, for which more material is on hand. The main objective is to show how the Persian dialects converge to Tabari in the morphosyntax of the noun and verb phrases. An attempt is also made to correlate the morphosyntax with the areal distribution of selected lexical items.

Such QED cascade initiated plasma is, in general, far below the chemical (particle yield) equilibrium. We find that the available electrons and positrons equilibrate kinetically, yet despite relatively high particle density, the electron-positron annihilation is very slow, suggesting a rather long lifespan of the plasma drop.

Monocentrota matilei was originally described from Bulgaria and Algeria (Bechev 1989). Papp (2003) reported this species from Hungary, and Chandler (2009) redescribed it based on specimens collected from Sardinia. The species is here reported for the first time from Romania. The species apparently has a fragmented range confined to mountainous areas of southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean area. Immature stages of M. matilei are unknown, but the European species M. lundstromi Edwards, 1925 is probably associated with decaying wood (Jakovlev et al. 2014).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The concept of management of marine resources corresponds in fact to controlling the human predatory action over marine ecosystems. One would believe that the human behaviour, regarding fishing activities, would be much easier to model and predict than the behaviour of other top predators in the ecosystem. However, the published scientific literature still puts in evidence many methodological shortcomings and knowledge gaps in this subject. A realistic model of the fishermen decision process would be a valuable tool to predict the options that the fishermen would take as a response to certain factors, such as management measures, fluctuations in fish price, or changes in fish abundance. In this presentation we describe a novel framework to model the decisions of skippers in response to a wide range of variables. This approach uses qualitative information collected by onboard observers through informal conversations with skippers during navigation time and in between fishing operations. That information is then used to build cognitive maps to describe the decision process of a skipper or a group of skippers, which are useful tools to show which variables are important for the skippers decisions and in which way are those variables related. These cognitive maps shall be, at a later stage, implemented as qualitative dynamic models using a modelling approach based on fuzzy rules, which will allow the simulation of the skippers decisions in different scenarios

description: The incidence of non-HIV-associated hematologic malignancies, including chronic myeloproliferative disorders, is increasing in HIV-infected (HIVþ) patients. This is thought to be due to prolonged survival in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Previously, only six cases of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) have been described in HIVþ individuals and limited information is available regarding the management of patients with concurrent CML and HIV- infection. We report three cases of CML in HIVþ patients who were treated with imatinib and HAART. Treatment was generally well tolerated, and cytogenetic response (complete in two patients) was achieved with follow-up ranging from 3 to 69 months. HIV viral load remained undetectable and CD4 cell counts were stable in all three patients. Concurrent treatment with imatinib and HAART can result in appropriate control of CML and HIV-infection as well as long-term survival.
Environmental attitudes and travel behavior of youth

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Environmental problems relating to transportation have increased in severity in many cities within Canada. Reduction in emissions generated from the transport sector will require far reaching technological advances as well as behavioral shifts by the population. This study is carried out with a focus on influencing youths to increase the use of sustainable transportation. Studying the attitudes of young people towards the environment is important given they will be the ones affected by environmental issues arising from our current actions and consequently will be the individuals who will ultimately have to come up with resolutions. In preparation to address future transportation issues, it is critical to conduct researches with a focus on children and young people as attitudes toward the environment begin to develop in childhood. This study surveyed over 1000 students from 11 secondary schools in Richmond, Canada and Vancouver, Canada. The purpose of the survey is to examine the relationship between environmental knowledge, environmental attitudes and travel behavior. Structural equation models (SEMs) were used to quantify environmental attitudes as latent variables, as well as to examine the relationship between environmental knowledge, attitudes and travel behavior while controlling demographic and socioeconomic variables. The results indicate that 1) Students who have better knowledge on environmental issues hold higher levels of proenvironmental attitudes; 2) Students who use active transportation, public transit and school buses to/from school have stronger pro-environmental attitudes than students who travel to/from school by car; 3) Environmental attitude is found to be a mediating variable between environmental knowledge and travel behavior; and 4) Environmental knowledge has a significant impact on the relationship between environmental attitudes and travel behavior. Based on these findings, it is evident that continual improvement of the environmental education curriculum is needed. It is recommended that the curriculum should not be limited to knowledge-based education on transportation. Rather, it should include activities that will help induce a positive environmental attitude. It was also found that social media and school courses are major sources of environmental information for the students. Therefore, educational institutes, government, environmental NGOs should continue to leverage these channels to effectively disburse information.
Trivial Low Energy States for Commuting Hamiltonians, and the Quantum PCP Conjecture

description: We consider whether or not Hamiltonians which are sums of commuting projectors have "trivial" ground states which can be constructed by a local quantum circuit of bounded depth and range acting on a product state. While the toric code only has nontrivial ground states, commuting projector Hamiltonians which are sums of two-body interactions have trivial ground states. We define an "interaction complex" for a Hamiltonian, generalizing the interaction graph, and we show that if this complex can be continuously mapped to a 1-complex using a map with bounded diameter of pre-images then the Hamiltonian has a trivial ground state assuming one technical condition on the Hamiltonian (this condition holds for all stabilizer Hamiltonians, and we also prove the result for all Hamiltonians under an assumption on the 1-complex). While this includes cases considered by Ref., it also includes other Hamiltonians whose interaction complexes cannot be coarse-grained into the case of Ref. One motivation for this is the quantum PCP conjecture. Many commonly studied interaction complexes can be mapped to a 1-complex after removing a small fraction of sites. For commuting projector Hamiltonians on such complexes, a trivial ground state for the Hamiltonian with those sites removed is a low energy trivial state for the original Hamiltonian. Such states can act as a classical witness to the existence of a low energy state. While this result applies only to commuting Hamiltonians, it suggests that to prove a quantum PCP conjecture one should consider interaction complexes which cannot be mapped to 1-complexes after removing a small fraction of cells. We define this more precisely below; in a sense this generalizes the idea of an expander graph. Surprisingly, such complexes do exist as will be shown elsewhere, and have useful properties in quantum coding theory.

description: Kuhpāyi is a Central Dialect spoken in Kupā township and its piedmont villages, east of Isfahan. While it shares many traits with other Northwestern Iranian dialects of the central Iranian Plateau, Kuhpāyi has many characteristics of its own. In historical phonology, it shows some remarkable Southwestern Iranian features, as in hass 'eight'. Peculiar in its phonological structure is the central vowel /ə/, which harmonizes in the verbal forms. The dialect’s transitional characteristic is exemplified in the unstable position of the durative marker before the stem. The past tenses of transitive verbs have an ergative inflexion, with the agential affixes shifting from the verb to the preceding word, including the subject itself — a trait found in no other known Central Dialect. This article studies the diachronics and grammar of Kuhpāyi, followed by texts and by a glossary based on the documentation gathered by the author on this vanishing dialect.

FUNZIONI DELLA RESPONSABILIT� CIVILE E DANNI ULTRACOMPENSATIVI
Creators: name: FRATA, LAURA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: This comparative analysis of recent trends in common law and civil law countries aims to verify the role attributed to purposes other than the compensatory one, in the domain of tort law. While it is generally undisputed that its main goal is to compensate the victim for her loss, it is controversial whether, and to what extent, it could also pursue other functions. The potential reconciliation between different aims is explored. The British and the US approaches to punitive damages are analysed under a functionalist perspective. Civil law countries show a stronger compliance with the full compensation principle, affirming a clear refusal of any kind of punitive damages. The reasons for this hostility are examined, focusing on the notion of ?pena privata?. Against this backdrop, it is contended that in Italy there is a whole range of cases where damages do not seem aimed only at ?making the plaintiff whole?. The study of judicial decisions and recent statutory provisions reveals situations where the damages awarded are excessive or in disregard of the victim?s actual harm. Both transpire that, in some circumstances, compensation may not be a sufficient reaction to the wrongdoing. It is claimed that the proclaimed reverence for the equivalence principle may admit some diversions.
TWO DIMENSIONAL AND NOVEL QUASI TWO DIMENSIONAL QUANTUM LIQUIDS

description: In this thesis we have used Quantum Monte Carlo techniques to study two
systems that can be regarded as the archetype for neutral strongly interacting
systems: 4He, and its fermionic counterpart 3He.More specifically, we have used
the Path Integral Ground State and the Path Integral Monte Carlo methods to
study a system of two dimensional 3He (2d-3He) and a system of 4He adsorbed on
Graphene-Fluoride (GF) and Graphane (GH) at both zero and finite temperature.
The purpose of the study of 4He on GF (GH) was the research of new physical
phenomena, whereas in the case of 2d-3He it was the application of novel
methodologies for the ab-initio study of static and dynamic properties of Fermi
systems. In the case of 2d-3He we have computed the spin susceptibility as
function of density which turned out to be in very good agreement with
experimental data; we have also obtained the first ab-initio evaluation of the
zero-sound mode and the dynamic structure factor of 2d-3He that is in
remarkably good agreement with experiments. In the case of 4He adsorbed on GF
(GH), we determined the zero temperature equilibrium density of the first
monolayer of 4He showing also that the commensurate sqrt(3) x sqrt(3) R30 phase
is unstable on both substrates; at equilibrium density we found that 4He on GF
(GH) is a modulated superfluid with an anisotropic phono-rotonic spectrum; at
high coverages we found an incommensurate triangular solid and, on both GF and
GH, a commensurate phase at filling factor x= 2/7 that is locally stable or at
least metastable. Remarkably, in this commensurate solid phase and for both GF
and GH, our computations show preliminary evidence of the presence of a
superfluid fraction.

description: Executive compensation has skyrocketed over the last thirty years, largely due to an increased use of equity pay. Corporations were able to generously compensate their top executives, and, at least in the short term, link executive pay to firm performance. Thanks to modifications to the tax code and accounting rules in 1993, public companies favored the grant of options over stock. Yet this produced perverse incentives, including excessive risk-taking and a heightened focus on short-term stock performance, which many commentators and policy-makers believed culminated in the 2008 financial crisis. In response, public resentment swelled, spurring academic debates, congressional hearings, and statutory changes. This trend shifted in the past decade as companies now impel conservative behavior through executive compensation. This Note presents the first comprehensive study of the change in the equity composition of executive compensation after the financial crisis. For the first time, stock grants overtook options as the dominant form of equity pay. The evidence shows that the movement away from stock options is largely a response to the panoply of federal efforts to control ‘excessive’ executive compensation and mitigate risk. This finding has important implications for regulators and shareholders alike who wish to offset managerial influence over executive pay at public companies.

description: We review the details of unconstrained Lagrangian formulations for Bose particles propagated on an arbitrary dimensional flat space-time and described by the unitary irreducible integer higher-spin representations of the Poincare group subject to Young tableaux $Y(s_1,...,s_k)$ with $k$ rows. The procedure is based on the construction of Verma modules and finding auxiliary oscillator realizations for the symplectic $sp(2k)$ algebra which encodes the second-class operator constraints subsystem in the HS symmetry algebra. Application of an universal BRST approach reproduces gauge-invariant Lagrangians with reducible gauge symmetries describing the free dynamics of both massless and massive bosonic fields of any spin with appropriate number of auxiliary fields.

description: A key insight used in developing the theory of Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDTs) is to use the causal (or light-cone) structure of Lorentzian manifolds to restrict the class of geometries appearing in the Quantum Gravity (QG) path integral. By exploiting this structure the models developed in CDTs differ from the analogous models developed in the Euclidean domain, models of (Euclidean) Dynamical Triangulations (DT), and the corresponding Lorentzian results are in many ways more "physical". In this paper we use this insight to formulate a Lorentzian signature model that is analogous to the Quantum Regge Calculus (QRC) approach to Euclidean Quantum Gravity. We exploit another crucial fact about the structure of Lorentzian manifolds, namely that certain simplices are not constrained by the triangle inequalities present in Euclidean signature. We show that this model is not related to QRC by a naive Wick rotation; this serves as another demonstration that the sum over Lorentzian geometries is not simply related to the sum over Euclidean geometries. By removing the triangle inequality constraints, there is more freedom to perform analytical calculations, and in addition numerical simulations are more computationally efficient. We first formulate the model in 1+1 dimensions, and derive scaling relations for the pure gravity path integral on the torus using two different measures. It appears relatively easy to generate "large" universes, both in spatial and temporal extent. In addition, loop-to-loop amplitudes are discussed, and a transfer matrix is derived. We then also discuss the model in higher dimensions.

LEGAL STYLE MARKERS ANO THEIR TRANSLATION IN WRITTEN PLEADINGS BEFORE THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Creators: name: NIKITINA, JEKATERINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: This corpus-based study investigates language use in the occluded genre of written pleadings before the European Court of Human Rights through the paradigms of legal phraseology and Translation Studies. The analysis is carried out on three subcorpora of authentic texts: (a) pleadings translated from Russian into English, (b) pleadings translated from Italian into English and (c) pleadings originally drafted in English.
Legal language is intricate and formulaic, and frequently makes recourse to prefabricated patterns and routines. Legal phraseology is a major challenge for professional legal translators, and yet its translation has not received much scholarly attention until recently. Legal phraseological units are prefabricated patterns that form the matrix of legal texts and reveal interesting information about both the language and structure of the genre of written pleadings.
Over the last thirty years, linguistic deviations occurring in the translation process have constituted one of the main areas within Translation Studies. It has been postulated that translated language has distinctive linguistic characteristics. Legal translation, in addition to linguistic factors, is conditioned by the tension between the legal systems involved, which can result in peculiar language dynamics in the translation of legal texts. This study draws inspiration from Toury?s (1995) and Chesterman?s (2004a) works to describe the different dynamics of translated language, applying a combination of translation norms and universals to identify and describe regularities in translated pleadings.
This work is carried out using both linguistic and translational insights in order to demonstrate empirically how written pleadings can be characterised in terms of their phraseological content and how translated pleadings differ from non-translated pleadings. Distributional patterns of recurrent and anomalous legal phraseological units are compared across the corpora and analysed for typicality of frequencies and patterning as well as for quantity and quality of linguistic variation. The results contain a list of legal style markers typical of this genre, obtained in a translational and phraseological perspective. The list supplements the rather scant information about the language of written pleadings at the European Court of Human Rights. The analysis also provides confirmatory evidence of the differences between translated and non-translated texts, specifically, proving the co-existence of two opposite tendencies in translation: conventionalisation (translation of source text textemes with conventional repertoremes of the target environment) and discourse transfer (introduction of prefabricated patterns from the source language).
The results may also be of some use and applicability for Russian-to-English and Italian-to-English translators, helping them avoid interference, use of unnatural or overly conservative patterns.
Controlled manipulation of light by cooperative response of atoms in an optical lattice

description: We show that a cooperative atom response in an optical lattice to resonant incident light can be employed for precise control and manipulation of light on a subwavelength scale. Specific collective excitation modes of the system that result from strong light-mediated dipole-dipole interactions can be addressed by tailoring the spatial phase-profile of the incident light. We demonstrate how the collective response can be used to produce optical excitations at well-isolated sites on the lattice.

description: Maximum likelihood estimation has been the workhorse of statistics for decades, but alternative methods are proving to give more accurate predictions. The rather vague sounding term “regularization” is used for these. Their basic feature is shrinking fitted values towards the overall mean, much like in credibility. These methods are introduced and applied to loss reserving.

Improved estimation of ranges is also addressed, in part by a focus on the variance and skewness of residual distributions. For variance, if large losses pay later, as is typical, the variance in the later columns does not reduce as fast as the mean does. This can be modeled by making the variance proportional to a power of the mean less than 1.

Skewness can be modeled using the three-parameter Tweedie distribution, which for a variable Z is reparameterized here in a, b, p to have mean = ab, variance = ab^2, and skewness = p/sqrt(a). Then the distribution of the sum of N individual claims has parameters aN, b, p, and cZ has parameters a, bc, p. These properties are both useful in actuarial applications.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A Pilot Action of Exploratory Fishing was carried out on the High Seas of the South West Atlantic from November 2007 to April 2008 by a Spanish bottom longliner targeting Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides and, secondarily grenadier, Macrourus sp. It was coordinated by the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) in close collaboration with the ship owner with the objectives of studying the performance of a new gear design aimed at reducing depredation by cetaceans, analysing interactions of fishing activities with marine mammals, seabirds and Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs), and evaluating the viability of a commercial fishery on these fish species in the study area. Fishery and biological data were collected by a scientific observer on board the vessel. Preliminary results showed that the highest concentrations of Dissostichus eleginoides were found south of parallel 53ºS between 1000 and 1600 m depth. There were no incidental catches of seabirds or cetaceans with the new gear design and depredation by sperm whales appeared to be reduced. It was observed the presence of several organisms characteristic of vulnerable marine ecosystems, providing evidence on the existence of areas hosting VMEs and confirming the presence of ecosystems not previously affected by fishing. Results will inform future fishery and conservation management decisions.

description: Effective debugging of ontologies is an important prerequisite for their broad application, especially in areas that rely on everyday users to create and maintain knowledge bases, such as the Semantic Web. In such systems ontologies capture formalized vocabularies of terms shared by its users. However in many cases users have different local views of the domain, i.e. of the context in which a given term is used. Inappropriate usage of terms together with natural complications when formulating and understanding logical descriptions may result in faulty ontologies. Recent ontology debugging approaches use diagnosis methods to identify causes of the faults. In most debugging scenarios these methods return many alternative diagnoses, thus placing the burden of fault localization on the user. This paper demonstrates how the target diagnosis can be identified by performing a sequence of observations, that is, by querying an oracle about entailments of the target ontology. To identify the best query we propose two query selection strategies: a simple "split-in-half" strategy and an entropy-based strategy. The latter allows knowledge about typical user errors to be exploited to minimize the number of queries. Our evaluation showed that the entropy-based method significantly reduces the number of required queries compared to the "split-in-half" approach. We experimented with different probability distributions of user errors and different qualities of the a-priori probabilities. Our measurements demonstrated the superiority of entropy-based query selection even in cases where all fault probabilities are equal, i.e. where no information about typical user errors is available.
