Abstract More than 42 years of lunar laser ranging provides an excellent basis for the determination of various parameters of the Earth-Moon system and for tests related to gravitational physics. In this paper, we focus on tests of the equivalence principle with the Earth and Moon as test bodies

How often have you been able to implement an algorithm as it is described in a paper? And when you did, were you con�dent that you had exactly the same parameter values and results as the authors of the paper? All too often, articles do not describe all the details of an algorithm and thus prohibit an implementation by someone else. In this paper, we describe our experience with reproducible research, a paradigm to allow other people to reproduce with minimal effort the results we have obtained. We discuss both the reproducibility of data and algorithms, and give examples for each of them. The effort required to make research reproducible is compensated by a higher visibility and impact of the results. Index Terms — reproducible research, publishing, source code, open source software 1.

its responsibilities towards the users of social media. The retail businesses extensively use the social media and are engaging with the various users of social networks. The paper also analyses the use of social media and its opportunities in the global retail world. The paper finally draws

Abstract: Spacetime foam manifests itself in a variety of ways. It has some attributes of a turbulent fluid. It is the source of the holographic principle. Cosmologically it may play a role in explaining why the energy density has the critical value, why dark energy/matter exists, and why the effective dynamical cosmological constant has the value as observed. Astrophysically the physics of spacetime foam helps to elucidate why the critical acceleration in modified Newtonian dynam-ics has the observed value; and it provides a possible connection be-tween global physics and local galactic dynamics involving the phe-nomenon of flat rotation curves of galaxies and the observed Tully-Fisher relation. Spacetime foam physics also sheds light on nonlocal gravitational dynamics.

To study emotional aging is to study a very multi-faceted con-cept. In particular, the study of emotion and aging covers a wide range of topics. Taking a closer look, domains of function-ing can be differentiated such as pertaining to the experiential nature of emotion or its regulation, as well

of inequalities, such that already the first system includes clique, odd hole, odd antihole, wheel, and orthogonality constraints. In particular, for perfect (and many other) graphs, this first system gives the vertex packing polytope. For various classes of graphs, including t-perfect graphs, it follows

In this dissertation, an approach, called multi-facet analysis of e-negotiation, is presented that enables various aspect of a negotiation process to be analyzed. In this approach, three new techniques are proposed: first, a multiversion contract model used to represent the negotiation process

that is based on an example of an author who creates a hypermedia essay on an art style. This working example reflects various facets in hypermedia authoring. On the base of the example we introduce requirements for the underlying meta-data. Due to this meta-data the system can support the author in making a

purified scale of brand personality, we show that the various facets of brand personality influence in different ways each of three above-cited behaviors, indicating that the personality of brands is and should be used as malleable.
