A note on conditional risk measures of Orlicz spaces and Orlicz-type modules
We consider conditional and dynamic risk measures of Orlicz spaces and study
their robust representation. For this purpose, given a probability space
, a sub--algebra of
, and a Young function , we study the relation between
the classical Orlicz space and the modular Orlicz-type
module ; based on conditional set theory,
we describe the conditional order continuous dual of a Orlicz-type module; and
by using scalarization and modular extensions of conditional risk measures
together with elements of conditional set theory, we finally characterize the
robust representation of conditional risk measures of Orlicz spaces
Proper caterpillars are distinguished by their symmetric chromatic function
This paper deals with the so-called Stanley conjecture, which asks whether
they are non-isomorphic trees with the same symmetric function generalization
of the chromatic polynomial. By establishing a correspondence between
caterpillars trees and integer compositions, we prove that caterpillars in a
large class (we call trees in this class proper) have the same symmetric
chromatic function generalization of the chromatic polynomial if and only if
they are isomorphic
Expansiveness, Lyapunov exponents and entropy for set valued maps
In this paper we introduce a notion of expansiveness for a set valued map
defined on a topological space different from that given by Richard Williams at
\cite{Wi, Wi2} and prove that the topological entropy of an expansive set
valued map defined on a Peano space of positive dimension is greater than zero.
We define Lyapunov exponent for set valued maps and prove that positiveness of
its Lyapunov exponent implies positiveness for the topological entropy. Finally
we introduce the definition of (Lyapunov) stable points for set valued maps and
prove a dichotomy for the set of stable points for set valued maps defined on
Peano spaces: either it is empty or the whole space.Comment: 24 pages, 1 figur
A simplified hydrokinetic model for a steady‐state microwave discharge sustained by traveling waves at atmospheric pressure conditions
The properties of a microwave‐induced argon plasma produced by traveling surface wave at atmospheric pressure are investigated theoretically. A hydrokinetic model is elaborated to obtain the nonequilibrium one‐dimensional profiles of electron temperature Te (average electron energy), electron density ne, and the first excited state population density n4s, along the axis of a steady‐state discharge. A three‐level atomic structure is assumed for the argon atom. A particle balance is included through the continuity equations for ne and n4s. These equations are coupled with an energy balance equation for the electrons. The effects of different parameters on the properties of the argon discharge are investigated: discharge tube radius, gas flow rate, resonant radiation‐escape factor, and neutral gas temperature.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia.

On the Zitterbewegung Transient Regime in a Coarse-Grained Space-Time
In the present contribution, by studying a fractional version of Dirac's
equation for the electron, we show that the phenomenon of Zitterbewegung in a
coarse-grained medium exhibits a transient oscillatory behavior, rather than a
purely oscillatory regime, as it occurs in the integer case, . Our
result suggests that, in such systems, the Zitterbewegung-type term related to
a trembling motion of a quasiparticle is tamed by its complex interactions with
other particles and the medium. This can justify the difficulties in the
observation of this interesting phenomenon. The possibility that the
Zitterbewegung be accompanied by a damping factor supports the viewpoint of
particle substructures in Quantum Mechanics.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure. This paper has been published in J. Adv. Phys. 7

A framework for lexical representation
In this paper we present a unification-based lexical platform designed for
highly inflected languages (like Roman ones). A formalism is proposed for
encoding a lemma-based lexical source, well suited for linguistic
generalizations. From this source, we automatically generate an allomorph
indexed dictionary, adequate for efficient processing. A set of software tools
have been implemented around this formalism: access libraries, morphological
processors, etc.Comment: 9 page
Managerial turnover and worker turnover
We study the influence of the manager's degree of consolidation within the firm over the firm's labor policy. We argue that non-consolidated (recently-appointed) managers are more worried about short-term results than consolidated managers are. This feature leads the former to bias the labor contracting favoring short-term contracts. This has two main consequences. First, a higher variation in the number of workers hired in each period. And second, a lower increase in unitary labor costs. To contrast these results, we use a database of 1.054 Spanish companies during the period (1994-98), and analyze their managerial turnover as well as their corresponding variation in the number of workers and in unitary labor costs. The theoretical results are confirmed, especially for highly-productive R and D-intensive firms
Impact of the Operations Manager's dual role on inventory policy
In modern corporations, the Operations Manager’s role in defining of firm’s strategy is
becoming more important. In this paper we describe how firms can use this tendency for
Operations Managers to make strategic decisions as a mechanism to prevent inventory
mismanagement. These managers have incentives to speculate with inventory cost
reductions, thereby avoiding sharp reductions in a single period, because it would hinder
further reductions in the future. Remarkably, firms may prevent such behavior by stimulating
the Operations Managers’ strategic orientation, without losing sight of inventory-efficient
management
