Threshold models and their dynamics may be used to model the spread of ‘behaviors’ in social networks. Regarding such from a modal logical perspective, it is shown how standard update mechanisms may be emulated using action models – graphs encoding agents’ decision rules. A small class of action models capturing the possible sets of decision rules suitable for threshold models is identified, and s

This paper describes a system to extract events and time information from football match reports generated through minute-by-minute reporting. We describe a method that uses regular expressions to find the events and divides them into different types to determine in which order they occurred. In addition, our system detects time expressions and we present a way to structure the collected data usin

Abstract in UndeterminedHigh penetration of variable generation such as wind power increases the demands on frequency control. The same applies to island operation and in particular if this involves variable generation, which is planned at the Danish island Bornholm. While it is obvious that the frequency control need to be considered, the disturbances caused to this control by the hourly dispatch

As e-commerce continues to grow, so do the competition and expectations from consumers. To meet these challenges, e-tailers need to become more streamlined and understand the behaviour of their customers. An experiment was performed to gain knowledge about the impact of delivery and returns policies on consumer buying behaviour. Realistic and trustworthy results were generated by using a random sa

In this contribution, we apply the framework of orientation distribution functions (odf) to the modelling of adapting anisotropic biological tissues. Remodelling phenomena are thereby incorporated by means of an evolution equation for a generalised structural tensor so that the underlying odf evolves according to the local loading conditions.

SiC Bipolar Junction Transistor has many benefits such as low on-state voltage drop, high switching speed and high maximum operating temperature. However it has one major disadvantage that it needs current to be turned on. This causes an increased power requirement of the driver circuit compared to voltage controlled devices like MOSFETs and IGBTs. The proposed driving concept is based on a verifi

This paper highlights the problem resource-based theory faces in explaining value appropriation and proposes a framework that addresses how resources affect bargaining power and value appropriation. The appropriation factor framework presented in this paper states that particular resources, termed appropriation factors, affect bargaining power, and thus the possibility for economic agents of appro

Theorizing simplifies reality by means of "isolation" whereby some phenomena or aspects thereof are excluded from consideration. Using the case of the resource-based view, we discuss how theorists isolate. We develop a case for symmetrical isolations, show that the RBV violates a symmetry requirement, argue that a more symmetrical RBV implies novel insights in value creation and appropriation, and
