This paper studies the allocation of discrete resources among multiple agents from a preference theory perspective. More specifically, the paper explores the process of decision making where:
(a)  information is obtained about the preference profiles of each agent
(b)  the information acquired is then used as a basis for finding a socially optimal resource allocation, and
(c)  the costs involved in acquiring information are considered as an integral part of the process.

In this paper the authors, starting from the experience described and commented on in earlier work by Mancini and Sbordone, deal with the three main epistemological problems that the research group they participated in had to face:
–  The conflicting and ambiguous relationship between psychoanalysis and social research
–  The classical epistemological problem of the relationship between the subject and object of research within the perspective of action research
–  The problem arising from their experience, i.e., the risk of manipulation, and the way to deal with it from an epistemic perspective
The three problems are dealt with one at a time, but from a common perspective, i.e., the attempt to integrate the richness and variety of human subjectivity in social research. As to the relationship between psychoanalysis and social research, a special section is devoted to the implications of an integrated or convergent methodology on team-working in organisations.

We present a general purpose parallel molecular dynamics simulation code. The code can handle NVE, NVT, and NPT ensemble molecular dynamics, Langevin dynamics, and dissipative particle dynamics. Long-range interactions are handled by using the smooth particle mesh Ewald method. The implicit solvent model using solvent-accessible surface area was also implemented. Benchmark results using molecular dynamics, Langevin dynamics, and dissipative particle dynamics are given.

In this paper, we employ low-rank matrix approximation to solve a general parameter estimation problem: where a non-linear system is linearized by treating the carrier terms as separate variables, thereby introducing heteroscedastic noise. We extend the bilinear approach to handle cases with heteroscedastic noise, in the framework of low-rank approximation. The ellipse fitting problem is investigated as a specific example of the general theory. Despite the impression given in the literature, the ellipse fitting problem is still unsolved when the data comes from a small section of the ellipse. Although there are already some good approaches to the problem of ellipse fitting, such as FNS and HEIV, convergence in these iterative approaches is not ensured, as pointed out in the literature. Another limitation of these approaches is that they cannot model the correlations among different rows of the “general measurement matrix”. Our method, of employing the bilinear approach to solve the general heteroscedastic parameter estimation problem, overcomes these limitations: it is convergent, at least to a local optimum, and can cope with a general heteroscedastic problem. Experiments show that the proposed bilinear approach performs better than other competing approaches: although it is still far short of a solution when the data comes from a very small arc of the ellipse.

A formal definition of a combinatorial topology is presented in this paper for the discrete N-dimensional space defined by the An* lattice. The use of this grid instead of the classical ℤn is based on two arguments:
– It is the optimal sampling grid in the sense of Shannon’s sampling theorem in 2 and 3 dimensions,
– It induces the simplest discrete topology definition because its dual is a K-simplex.
Their interest in image processing and in the medical imaging field is presented with some examples.  相似文献

The CIF2Cell program generates the geometrical setup for a number of electronic structure programs based on the crystallographic information in a Crystallographic Information Framework (CIF) file. The program will retrieve the space group number, Wyckoff positions and crystallographic parameters, make a sensible choice for Bravais lattice vectors (primitive or principal cell) and generate all atomic positions. Supercells can be generated and alloys are handled gracefully. The code currently has output interfaces to the electronic structure programs ABINIT, CASTEP, CPMD, Crystal, Elk, Exciting, EMTO, Fleur, RSPt, Siesta and VASP.

The program then generates the principal cell from symmetry information, crystal parameters, space group number and Wyckoff sites. Reduction to a primitive cell is then performed, and the resulting cell is output to suitably named files along with documentation of the information source generated from any bibliographic information contained in the CIF file. If the space group symmetries is not present in the CIF file the program will fall back on internal tables, so only the minimal input of space group, crystal parameters and Wyckoff positions are required. Additional key features are handling of alloys and supercell generation.Additional comments: Currently implements support for the following general purpose electronic structure programs: ABINIT [2,3], CASTEP [4], CPMD [5], Crystal [6], Elk [7], exciting [8], EMTO [9], Fleur [10], RSPt [11], Siesta [12] and VASP [13–16].Running time: The examples provided in the distribution take only seconds to run.References:

Context

User participation in information system (IS) development has received much research attention. However, prior empirical research regarding the effect of user participation on IS success is inconclusive. This might be because previous studies overlook the effect of the particular components of user participation and other possible mediating factors.

Objective

The objective of this study is to empirically examine how user influence and user responsibility affect IS project performance. We inspect whether user influence and user responsibility improve the quality of the IS development process and in turn leads to project success, or if they have a direct positive influence on project success.

Method

We conducted a survey of 151 IS project managers in order to understand the impact of user influence and user responsibility on IS project performance. Regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationship among user influence, user responsibility, organizational technology learning, project control, user-developer interaction, and IS project management performance.

Results

This study shows that user responsibility and user influence have a positive effect on project performance through the promotion of IS development processes as mediators, including organizational technology learning, project control, and user-IS interaction.

Conclusion

Our results suggest that user responsibility and user influence respectively play an important role in indirectly and directly impacting project management performance. Results of the analysis imply that organizations and project managers should use both user participation and user influence to improve processes performance, and in turn, increase project success.  相似文献
