Systems Engineering for Business Process Change: New Directions

From the Publisher: 
Systems Engineering for Business Process Change: New Directions is a collection of papers resulting from an EPSRC managed research programme set up to investigate the relationships between Legacy IT Systems and Business Processes. The papers contained in this volume report the results from the projects funded by the programme, which ran between 1997 and 2001. An earlier volume, published in 2000, reported interim results. Bringing together researchers from diverse backgrounds in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering and Business Schools, this book explores the problems experienced by IT-dependent businesses that have to implement changing business processes in the context of their investment in legacy systems. The book presents some of the solutions investigated through the collaborations set up within the research programme. Whether you are a researcher interested in the ideas that were generated by the research programme, or a user trying to understand the nature of the problems and their solutions, you cannot fail to be inspired by the writings contained in this volume.
Narrative authority vs. perjured testimony: Courage, vulnerability and truth

Testimonio translates to "testimony," but utilizing this Western usage for the term can blind readers to the fact that the Spanish word does not necessarily bear the denotation of eyewitness as it does in non-Latin American settings. The contestation over I, Rigoberta Menchu - its factuality versus its narrative authority-demonstrates well the distinctionover epistemologies surrounding this book. If factuality is problematic, then how is such a text to be read ? Several usages for this text and other testimonio forms are suggested, especially in teaching contexts. The political right's excoriation of the text is specifically rejected, but the uncritical adoption of the text as a rallying manifesto by the political left is also criticized.
The Suicidal Death of a Child: Social Perception of Stepparents

Research has suggested that the family relationship of a survivor to the victim of suicide can affect how the survivor will be perceived, but no studies have investigated the impact of parental status (parent versus stepparent) on the perception others will have of the parents of a youngster who commits suicide. In this investigation, 210 participants (71 men and 139 women) read typeset obituaries describing the suicidal death of an 18-year-old young man or young woman. Survivors were described as mother and father, father and stepmother, or mother and stepfather. Ratings (derived from previous studies of the social perception of survivors) were obtained to reflect the impressions participants had of the stepparents. Multivariate analysis of variance indicated a main effect for status of parents (i.e., stepparents versus biological parents). Although there were no reliable differences on several items, stepparents were viewed as having been less “close” to the young person, as taking less time to “recover...
Determining the sequence of history

VOLUME 2 | DECEMBER 2004 | 1 Sex-determination mechanisms are famous for their extraordinary diversity and the sequencing revolution promises to untangle the evolutionary events that have fashioned them. Joseph Heitman and colleagues do just this in a recent paper that describes the evolutionary history of the mating-type (MAT) locus of a human fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans. They also uncover some intriguing parallels between the C. neoformans MAT locus and the human Y chromosome. In fungi, sex only occurs between compatible cell-mating types. Unusually, the C. neoformans MAT locus resembles that of both the Ascomycotina group of fungi — to which Saccharomyces cerevisiae belongs — and members of its own group, the Basidiomycotina. Like S. cerevisiae, C. neoformans has a bipolar mating system with a single MAT locus that contains two alleles, a and α. However, this locus is larger than that of S. cerevisiae and contains gene types that resemble the two unlinked sex-determination loci of some tetrapolar Basidiomycotina fungi. To explore how a complex sex-determining region evolved from simpler loci, the researchers compared the sequences of the MAT loci of two variants of C. neoformans and a sibling species, Cryptococcus gattii. Based on the number of synonymous mutations that have accumulated over time, the researchers found that the genes within the C. neoformans MAT locus could be classified as ‘ancient’, ‘intermediate’ or ‘recent’, according to when they were acquired by the MAT locus during evolution. They suggest that the ancient class represents the two ancestral unlinked sex determination regions — one containing pheromone and pheromone-receptor genes and one containing homeodomain genes. They hypothesize that the pheromone locus expanded to acquire other ancient components of the pheromone-signalling cascade together with some intermediate genes, and that the homeodomain locus acquired other intermediate genes thought to function during meiosis. In one of the two mating types, chromosomal translocation then fused the pheromone and homeodomain clusters together, entrapping the recent category of genes. The resulting tripolar mating system — consisting of the pheromone cluster, the homeodomain cluster and the fused cluster — then collapsed by gene conversion into the bipolar system we see in C. neoformans today. Not only does the C. neoformans MAT locus resemble other fungal sex-determination loci, but Heitman and colleagues also provide tantalizing evidence that it has similar features to the sex chromosomes of animals and plants. Curiously, the human Y chromosome also has four temporal clusters that represent the sequential acquisition of genes. The authors draw on this and other intriguing similarities — such as the palindromic orientation of the pheromone genes – and discuss the future of C. neoformans as a model for understanding sex-chromosome dynamics.

Grobner Bases Algorithm

Gröbner Bases is a technique that provides algorithmic solutions to a variety of problems in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry. In this introductory tutorial the basic algorithms as well as their generalization for computing Gröbner basis of a set of multivariate polynomials are presented. The Gröbner basis technique is applied to solve systems of polynomial equations in several variables. This technical report investigates this application.
CULTURE AND GLOBALIZATION IN LATIN AMERICA

In this work, the problem of the culture in Latin America will be analyzed from a current perspective, but looking at the future which will imply to approach arduous issues about the past, the future and the innovations before a historically given reality and faced to challenges that had not been stated in its whole future as socio cultural formation. Although the topic plainly evokes a harmonious classic past, to an extent ordered and balanced, the question How could this have got to the agitated and raving present world, and how will it get to an unaware and incognito tomorrow? naturally arises. The answer carries a reflection within, which is the object of this presentation. Above all, the cultural activity centered in the man and in Latin America will be emphasized to observe its course through the globalization, the society of the knowledge, for its critical manifestation in the popular culture and its intersection with the new theories about the globalization, favorable scenarios to analyze the present before the future to come which will lead to pose urgent challenges with their consequent final knowledge.
Automated refactoring of objects for application partitioning

Distributed infrastructures are becoming more and more diverse in nature. An application may often need to be redeployed in various scenarios. Ideally, given an application designed for one deployment scenario, one should be able to generate an application version for a new scenario through an automated refactoring process. For this to happen, one of the principal requirements is that application components should be amenable to partitioning. To achieve this: (i) We use a structurally simple and slightly modified model of object called breakable object (BoB), for structuring such applications. BoB can be treated as an object which is designed to be well disposed towards automated refactoring. We also devise a programming model for BoBs in Java called Java/sub BoB/. (ii) We provide algorithms for automated refactoring of a Java/sub BoB/ based program.

Combined with regional geological data,through analysis on outcrops,drill cores and well logging curves of Upper Bayingebi Formation in Tamusu area of Bayingebi Basin,the sedimentary system of Upper Bayingebi Formation is summarized,the relationship of uranium mineralization with sedimentary environment was analyzed and uranium metallogenic model was built at the study area.Subaqueous distributary channel microfacies of fan delta front subfacies was believed to be the most favorable area for uranium mineralization and the main uranium deposit type for prospecting is interlayer oxidation zone sandstone type deposit.
Design: Creation of Artifacts in Society

The central theme of this monograph is that a unifying framework informs the human activity of design across all domains. With few exceptions, each idea in this work applies to graphics, environments, products, software, services, machines, and buildings. I dream that the design process could be integral to the primary, secondary, and post-secondary education of all individuals in modern society. This work is an attempt to lay out some of the ideas that would form that education.
Phase diagram of the pairing symmetry in two-dimensional strong-coupling superconductors

Two-dimensional Eliashberg equations have been solved by use of a mixed interaction with s - and d -channels. It is discussed what kind of pairing symmetry of the superconducting state can be realized when the channel mixing parameters and the band-filling are varied. By changing the mixing parameters and varying the chemical potential μ between zero- and half-filling, the pairing symmetry is determined and summarized into a phase diagram of the symmetry. It is revealed that there is an effective threshold in μ for the appearance of the d -wave superconductivity regardless of the strength of the d -channel interaction. It is also shown that, although the s -wave superconductivity can occur for any value of μ if the s -channel interaction is mixed sufficiently, the d -wave superconductivity has the advantage of achieving a high- T c over the s -wave one, once it occurs.
Government policy and the dynamics of market structure: Evidence from Critical Access Hospitals

This paper seeks to understand the impact of the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Program (Flex). The goal of this program is to maintain access to hospital care for rural residents. Like many other government policies, the Flex program targets the underlying supply infrastructure, in this case by providing more generous cost-plus reimbursement to rural hospitals in exchange for capacity and service limitations. The program created a new class of hospital, the Critical Access Hospital (CAH), to which rural hospitals can convert. We specify a dynamic oligopoly model of the rural hospital industry with hospital investment in capacity, exit and conversion to CAH status. We develop new methods that allow us to efficiently estimate the structural parameters and compute counterfactual equilibria. We use the methods to estimate the impact of eliminating and modifying the Flex program on access to hospitals and patient welfare. We find that without the Flex program 5% of currently operating hospitals would have closed. Our methods may be more broadly useful in estimating and computing other dynamic oligopoly games with investment in capacity.
Gravity study of the structure of Suswa volcano and basement in the Kenya Rift

The most remarkable gravity feature in the Kenya Rift Valley is a positive gravity lineation that accords with the spatial distribution of the microseismic, volcanic and geothermal activity. It is interpreted in terms of a hot mantle intrusion zone, 10–20 km wide, representing the heat source for many geothermal systems in the rift. Filtering and upward-continuation techniques have led to the identification of the gravity components associated with the complex caldera structure of Suswa volcano and sub-volcano formation, by modelling of the residual gravity data. Geophysical data indicate a model where ascending masses of material from the mantle are intimately coupled to the accumulation of a mafic melt at shallow depth in the area of Naivasha tectonic segment, where a geothermal field at Olkaria is under exploitation. High-frequency gravity data are consistent with volcanological and geophysical evidence in suggesting that the area of Late Quaternary caldera volcanoes, Olkaria, Suswa and Longonot, is a thermally privileged site.
Electrochemical investigation of passive film in pre-deformation AISI 304 stainless steels

The electrochemical measures in deformed AISI 304 stainless steels ranged from 0% to 24% were investigated. With the increasing of the strain α′-martensite was gradually increasing. Moreover, the morphologies and densities of dislocations changed with increasing strain. The Mott–Schottky plots showed that the maximum total of donor and acceptor densities in passive film occurred in borate buffer solution when ɛ-martensite was most, while in borate buffer solution with 5000 ppm Cl − the maximum total of donor and acceptor densities occurred when the content of α-martensite was most. These results were proven by further impedance spectroscopy experiments.
Stability of organic compounds on the oxygen-evolving center of photosystem II and manganese oxide water oxidation catalysts.

Surrounding organic residues are indispensable for the high water oxidation activity of the Mn4 cluster in photosystem II. Here, the stability of organic compounds on synthetic Mn oxides was analyzed using inlet electrochemical mass spectroscopy. Carboxyl groups, which are the most abundant residues around the Mn4 cluster, were found to stably facilitate the oxygen evolution reaction.
Fasting Blood Glucose and Depressive Mood among Patients with Mental Illness in a Medicaid Managed Care Program

This study explores the relationship between depressive symptoms, as measured by the PHQ-9 depression screen and blood glucose levels among patients with diabetes enrolled in Gold Choice, a Medicaid managed care program for individuals with mental illness and/or substance abuse.  The PHQ-9 was mailed to 454 Gold Choice members and a questionnaire was mailed to their physicians requesting current HbA1c% and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels. The pearson product-moment correlation was used to describe the association between PHQ-9 scores and FBG levels.  The PHQ-9 response rate was 55% (N = 249). Laboratory results were received for 141 patients. The correlation between FBG and PHQ-9 scores was modest but statistically significant: r = 0.21 , P = 0.015.  A statistically significant association was found between FBG and PHQ-9 depression scores. This finding supports current recommendations that physicians be alert to depressive symptoms among patients with diabetes or impaired glucose metabolism.
Гуманистическая психология как инструмент познания экономических явлений в обществе

Modern social life filled with economic phenomena that determine the ability of each individual to improve the efficiency of its activities. The complexity of building economic relations in modern Russia is that their development is influenced by the former socialist relations. From the perspective of humanistic psychology in the community needs to develop a positive outlook on the world. In addition, humanistic psychology focuses on healthy public consumption. Economic efficiency of the interaction of people is only possible when used their social and humanitarian capacities, which is achieved primarily through the use of tools of humanistic psychology.
Performative Loci of the Imperial Edicts in Nara Japan, 749-70

The naiki presented the text to the Minister, the Minister submitted it to the Emperor. This being over, the Minister selected a capable man to read it, who received it and went back to his proper place. The Prince Imperial rose in the Eastern side of his seat and faced the West. Then everybody present from the princes downward rose and did likewise. The senmyō no taifu (herald) went to his appointed place and read the senmyō. Its contents were…. Then he said: Everybody obey this. The Prince Imperial first of all said “Aye.” Then everybody from the princes downward said likewise “Aye.” The Prince Imperial made obeisance. Then everybody present from the princes downward did the same. This was repeated as many times as senmyō were read. The ceremonial was always the same (Jōganshiki, c. 871; trans. Snellen 1934:166). This description of the reading of an Imperial edict (senmyō) from the Jōganshiki, a late ninth-century compendium of court procedures, provides an image of the formal declamation of the Emperor’s words in an orderly, routinized setting. The nobility are seated in their appointed places, the ritual is predetermined, and indeed, as the text notes: “The ceremonial was always the same.” But this illustration is deceptively static and misleading. The contemporary performative context of imperial edicts may in fact be accurately reflected in this late ninth-century handbook of court ritual, but the senmyō texts that we know from the official court histories, the Rikkokushi (Six National Histories, Sakamoto 1991) date back to the end of the seventh century. The official history Shoku Nihongi (Chronicles of Japan, Continued, Aoki et al. 1989-98) is the locus classicus for these texts and covers the years 697-791. The actual historical circumstances of these 62 senmyō, written in a peculiar form of Old Japanese, and some 900 other royal decrees inscribed in the Chinese of the chronicle, illuminate far more vivid and dynamic settings for imperial proclamations than is suggested by later sources such as the Jōganshiki. The purpose of this paper is to examine the performative loci of the imperial edicts during the reign of the “Last Empress,” Kōken-Shōtoku (r. 749-70)—their historical setting, geographical locale, and sometimes even the audiences for these royal pronouncements. This is the era in which fully half of the senmyō were recorded in Shoku Nihongi, and during which the production of the edicts inscribed in Chinese were also at their peak. The court annals of this period depict the reign of a powerful woman in a tumultuous epoch, as the Last Empress staved off challenges to her power from her royal cousins, and, in the famous denouement of her reign,
Nearly 650 Memories of the 650

Of the many interesting aspects of Bemer’s career, one that has impressed me most is his ability to move back and forth between what we at one time perceived as the two classes of computers: “scientific” and “commercial. ” Note his contributions to the IBM 650, 704, and 705, as well as to compilers (perhaps still called automatic coding devices) and interpreters of quite different sorts. I do not know B. C. Borden or where he/she may Carnegie and IBM to produce FORTRANSIT is welcome and helps to compl$e the record. I especially appreciate Bemer’s generous sketches of his colleagues at Lockheed, Here he closes one loop: he discusses Fletcher Jones, a founder and former president of Computer Sciences Corporation, whose foundation endowed the professorship Donald Knuth holds at Stanford.
Restriction of representations of classical groups: examples

In an earlier paper, we considered several restriction problems in the representation theory of classical groups over local and global fields. Assuming the Langlands-Vogan parameterization of irreducible representations, we formulated precise conjectures for the solutions of these restriction problems. In the local case, our conjectural answer is given in terms of Langlands parameters and certain natural symplectic root numbers associated to them. In the global case, the conjectural answer is expressed in terms of the central critical value or derivative of a global $L$-function. In this paper we verify several of these conjectures in certain low rank cases, using methods of base change, theta correspondence, and global arguments.
Making Sense of the Comparative Advantage Gains from Trade: Comment on Batra

This paper addresses Ravi Batra's (2002 ) criticism of the basic comparative advantage gains-from-trade model. While Batra's criticism is based on the selection view interpretation of real income, the gains from trade can only be properly understood from the options view interpretation of real income. I also show how a recent empirical implementation of the gains-from-trade model defies Batra's claim that "the consumption gain . . . is not subject to measurement" (2002, p. 642).
Recursion-Closed Algebraic Theories

A class of algebraic theories called “recursion-closed,” which generalize the rational theories studied by J. A. Goguen, J. W. Thatcher, E. G. Wagner and J. B. Wright in [ in “Proceedings, 17th IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, Houston, Texas, October 1976,” pp. 147–158; in “Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, 1978,” Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Vol. 64, Springer-Verlag, New York/Berlin, 1978; “Free Continuous Theories,” Technical Report RC 6906, IBM T. J. Watson Reserch Center, Yorktown Heights, N.Y., December 1977; “Notes on Algebraic Fundamentals for Theoretical Computer Science,” IBM Technical Report, 1979], is investigated. This work is motivated by the problem of providing the semantics of arbitrary polyadic recursion schemes in the framework of algebraic theories. It is suggested by Goguen et al. () that the semantics of arbitrary polyadic recursion schemes can be handled using algebraic theories. The results show that this is indeed the case, but that “rational theories” are insufficient and that it is necessary to introduce a new class of “recursion-closed” algebraic theories. This new class of algebraic theories, is defined and studied, and “free recursion-closed algebraic theories” are proved to exist.
