, including frame-based systems as well as relational languages. This allows researchers to share and reuse ontologies, while retaining the computational benefits of specialized implementations. We discuss how the translation approach to portability addresses several technical problems. One problem is how

objective function. Unlike most of previous approaches which typically decompose a multiclass problem into multiple independent binary classification tasks, our notion of margin yields a direct method for training multiclass predictors. By using the dual of the optimization problem we are able

at random (MAR) concept. They summarize the evidence against older procedures and, with few exceptions, dis-courage their use. They present, in both technical and practical language, 2 general approaches that come highly recommended: maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayes-ian multiple imputation (MI). Newer

outcomes associated with routine, repetitive jobs. The theory offers less guidance for the design of work that will elicit and maintain positive and self-reinforcing work motivation. Socio-technical systems theory. The socio-technical systems approach to work redesign provides significant insight

. In order to establish the result a Lyapunov-theoretic definition is proposed for "bounded input bounded output" stability. The main technical fact proved relates the notion of stabilizability studied in the state space nonlinear control literature to a notion of stability under bounded control

their sources and their effects on pricing and market structure. I distinguish between results that do not depend on the underlying industry microstructure (the 'macro' approach) and those that do (the 'micro' approach). I analyze the issues of compatibility, coordination to technical

Our goal is to simulate reflections on surfaces of varying roughness in a post-process. For each pixel of a surface in an image we want to find the reflected geometry of the near-

Conventional methods such as the Method of Moments or Finite Difference Frequency Domain (FDFD) offer exact solutions to scattering problems, but are slow (minutes or hours) in 3D. Ray tracing speed depends on the number of triangles, which can be discretized as large as a wavelength. Ray tracing, unlike conventional methods, can also compute multiple frequencies at no additional cost, offering scattered field solutions on the order of seconds.
