Abstract. Probabilistic model checking is an automatic formal verification technique for analysing quantitative properties of systems which exhibit stochastic behaviour. PRISM is a probabilistic model checking tool which has already been successfully deployed in a wide range of application domains

fairly general asymptotic framework, the SIS is shown to have the sure screening property for even exponentially growing dimensionality. As a methodological extension, an iterative SIS (ISIS) is also proposed to enhance its finite sample performance. With dimension reduced accurately from high to below

aerosol has the highest � at 500 nm (0.051), followed by sulfate (0.040), sea salt (0.027), OC (0.017), and BC (0.007). There are large geographical and seasonal variations of �, controlled mainly by emission, transport, and hygroscopic properties of aerosols. The model calculated total �s at 500 nm have

position. That is, knowledge of spatial receiver sensitivity implies information about the origin of detected MR signals, which may be utilized for image generation. Unlike position in k-space, sensitivity is a receiver property and does not refer to the state of the object under examination. Therefore

extended UPy-material on the contrary is practically free of crystalline domains and shows clear flexible properties. This material deforms after in-vivo implantation, accompanied with cellular infiltration. By mixing both polymers, materials with intermediate degradability, bioactivity

Abstract-One ofthe basic axioms of the rational theory of decision under uncer-tointy is Savage's (1954) sure-thing prin-ciple (STP) I t states that $prospect x is preferred to y knowing that Event A oc-curred, and $x i s preferred to y knowing that A did not occur, then x should be preferred

Given a simple graph G (V, E) and a positive number d, an Ld(2, 1)-labelling of G is a function f V(G) [0, oc) such that whenever x, y E V are adjacent, If(x)- f(Y)l>- 2d, and whenever the distance between x and y is two, If(x) f(Y)l>- d. The Ld(2, 1)-labelling number A(G, d) is the smallest
