We present a greatly simplified proof of the length-space trade-off result for resolution in [P. Hertel, T. Pitassi, Exponential time/space speedups for resolution and the PSPACE-completeness of black-white pebbling, in: Proceedings of the 48th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS '07), Oct. 2007, pp. 137-149], and also prove a couple of other theorems in the same vein.

Circular oriented innovation commonly requires collaboration. Yet, to date, circular research lacks empirical investigation into collaborative processes. Collaborative processes are, however, highly researched within strategic management literature, thus offering valuable insights. The purpose of this paper is to investigate, identify and order the processes that companies undertake when designing
This paper presents the results from the characterization of pneumatic touch sensors (sensing bulbs) designed to be integrated into myoelectric prostheses and body-powered prostheses. The sensing bulbs, made of silicone, were characterized individually (single sensing bulb) and as a set of five sensors integrated into a silicone glove. We looked into the sensing bulb response when applying pressur
We present two sensitivity function trade-offs that apply to a class of networks with a string topology. In particular we show that a lower bound on the H-infinity norm and a Bode sensitivity relation hold for an entire family of sensitivity functions associated with growing the network. The trade-offs we identify are a direct consequence of growing the network, and can be used to explain why poor
Geoportals have been widely implemented by national spatial data infrastructures (NSDI) to provide users with the ability to search for geospatial resources over the Internet. This paper proposes an approach that can improve the functionalities of the conventional geoportals by adding recommendation capabilities to the execution mechanisms of geoportals. The geoportals with recommendation capabili
Models are considered which have no small Yukawa couplings unrelated to symmetry. This situation is generic in higher dimensional unification where Yukawa couplings are predicted to have a strength similar to the gauge couplings. Generations have then to be differentiated by symmetry properties and the structure of fermion mass matrices is given in terms of quantum numbers alone. Possible symmetri
The Nordic region, comprising primarily Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, has many of the necessary characteristics for being at the forefront of genome-based precision medicine. These include egalitarian and universal healthcare, expertly curated patient and population registries, biobanks, large population-based prospective cohorts linked to registries and biobanks, and a wi
Streptococcus pneumoniae was inoculated into the left middle-ear cavity in two groups of rats, resulting in purulent otitis media. After 3 days, one group of infected animals and a third group of noninfected animals were subjected to left-sided myringotomy. The tympanic membranes were examined both otomicroscopically and histologically 1 and 3 months later. On otomicroscopic examination the noninf
Although the projected changes in the climate include considerable uncertainties, especially with downscaling, there is irrefutable evidence that the climate is changing at an unprecedented and alarming rate. In recent studies, some of the potential climate-change risks on bridges have been identified. The sheer number of these potential risks provokes two questions. Firstly, for a certain risk of
A strategy for calculating the color structure needed for soft gluon resummation for processes with any number of colored partons is introduced using a Nc → ∞inspired basis. In this basis a general formalism can be found at the same time as the calculations are simplified.The advantages are illustrated by recalculating the soft anomalous dimension matrix for the processes gg → gg, qq → qqg and qq
Numerical evidence for a nonvanishing 0++ glueball mass in three-dimensional SU(2) is presented. By using a long-distance correlation Monte Carlo method we obtain m0++ = (4.7±1.2)√σ in the β-range 4.0-6.5. The measurements are consistent with 1/β-scaling. The relevance of this result for SU(2) in four dimensions at finite temperature is briefly discussed.
A sensitive and fast method for hydrogen analysis has been developed. The method is based on a technique where a proton beam of a few MeV impinges on the target and the elastically scattered proton and the recoiling target hydrogen nucleus are detected in coincidence. The method makes use of the difference in time of flight and requires no energy determination. The system consists of two thin, lar
We study the conditions required to make the two-Higgs-doublet-model (2HDM) scalar potential stable up to the Planck scale. The lightest CP-even scalar is assumed to have been found at the LHC and the alignment limit is imposed in view of the LHC Higgs data. We find that ensuring stability up to scales 1010GeV necessitates the introduction of a soft breaking parameter in the theory. Even then, som
Feedback control has been applied to computing systems, usually taking a designed system and closing a loop to adjust some of its parameters. However, the design of computing systems components as controllers have shown advantages with respect to state-of-the-art techniques, especially in the scheduling domain, where uniprocessor schedulers have been designed as discrete-time control structures.
