A family of directional relation models for extended objects
- IEEE Trans. Knowl. Data Eng
"... Abstract—In this paper, we introduce a family of expressive models for qualitative spatial reasoning with directions. The proposed family is based on the cognitive plausible cone-based model. We formally define the directional relations that can be expressed in each model of the family. Then, we use ..."

formal framework allows us to prove that our solutions are correct. The presented solutions are handled in a uniform manner and apply to all of the models of the family. Index Terms—Spatial databases and GIS, cone-based directional relations, inverse and composition operators. Ç
Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.

, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

expression of power relationships. Outside the direct sphere of the state, the exercise of power within production organizations or in apparatuses of experience (such as the family) ultimately relied on the ability of these apparatuses to call upon the state (or para-states, such as the Church) to enforce
Self-concordance at work: Toward understanding the motivational effects of transformational leaders.
- Academy of Management Journal,
, 2003
"... We extend existing theories by linking transformational leadership to "self-concordance" at work. In two studies using diverse samples and methods, leader behaviors were associated with follower tendencies to set self-concordant goals. In general, followers of transformational leaders vie ..."

theories regarding the motivational effects of charismatic leaders, it received only limited support in a recent empirical test The present investigation was designed to extend the self-concept-based theory by linking some elements of the theory with the self-concordance model, a motivational theory
Load Balancing and Density Dependent Jump Markov Processes (Extended Abstract)
- In Proceedings of the 37th IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science
, 1996
"... Michael Mitzenmacher Department of Computer Science U.C. Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720 mitzen@cs.berkeley.edu Abstract We provide a new approach for analyzing both static and dynamic randomized load balancing strategies. We demonstrate the approach by providing the first analysis of the following ..."

Party over Policy: The Dominating Impact of Group Influence
- on Political Beliefs.’’ Journal of Personality and Social Psychology

Abstract Cosmological Black Holes as Models of Cosmological Inhomogeneities
, 2006
"... Since cosmological black holes modify the density and pressure of the surrounding universe, and introduce heat conduction, they produce simple models of cosmologi-cal inhomogeneities that can be used to study the eect of inhomogeneities on the universe's expansion. In this thesis, new cosmologi ..."

In addition, it is demonstrated that radiation-dominated and matter-dominated Einstein-de Sitter universes can be directly matched across a hypersurface of constant time
COSMOLOGICAL MODELS OF MODIFIED GRAVITY
, 2013
