The Efficient Management of the Material Resources - One ot the most Important Premises in Promoting and Increasing of Business
Even if we are talking about different periods of time, periods in which the economy of the states have met different levels of development, the material resources have maintained their importance and distinctness, no matter what the evolution, activity, or size of the company was. The resort of the materials with everything it includes, supply, management and consumption have been considered a main priority for every kind of management. Not only because the field of the materials is a cvasi permanent one, for all the types of companies, but also because this field could easily represent the basics of what is called profit achievement, competitiveness, efficiency, promotion and development of some very efficient business for the company.material, grouping criteria, market, negotiation, business.
Excitonic condensation in quasi-two-dimensional systems
We present a low energy model for the Bose-Einstein condensation in a
quasi-two-dimensional excitonic gas. Using the flow equations of the
Renormalization group and a model with the dynamical critical exponent
we calculate the temperature dependence of the critical density,
coherence length, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat. The model can be
relevant for the macroscopic coherence observed in GaAs/AlGaAs coupled quantum
wells.Comment: 4 Revtex page
Particle-kernel estimation of the filter density in state-space models
Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods, also known as particle filters, are
simulation-based recursive algorithms for the approximation of the a posteriori
probability measures generated by state-space dynamical models. At any given
time , a SMC method produces a set of samples over the state space of the
system of interest (often termed "particles") that is used to build a discrete
and random approximation of the posterior probability distribution of the state
variables, conditional on a sequence of available observations. One potential
application of the methodology is the estimation of the densities associated to
the sequence of a posteriori distributions. While practitioners have rather
freely applied such density approximations in the past, the issue has received
less attention from a theoretical perspective. In this paper, we address the
problem of constructing kernel-based estimates of the posterior probability
density function and its derivatives, and obtain asymptotic convergence results
for the estimation errors. In particular, we find convergence rates for the
approximation errors that hold uniformly on the state space and guarantee that
the error vanishes almost surely as the number of particles in the filter
grows. Based on this uniform convergence result, we first show how to build
continuous measures that converge almost surely (with known rate) toward the
posterior measure and then address a few applications. The latter include
maximum a posteriori estimation of the system state using the approximate
derivatives of the posterior density and the approximation of functionals of
it, for example, Shannon's entropy.
This manuscript is identical to the published paper, including a gap in the
proof of Theorem 4.2. The Theorem itself is correct. We provide an {\em
erratum} at the end of this document with a complete proof and a brief

Magnetic instability of a two-dimensional Anderson non-Fermi liquid
We show that in the Anderson model for a two-dimensional non-Fermi liquid a
magnetic instability can lead to the itinerant electron ferromagnetism. The
critical temperature and the susceptibility of the paramagnetic phase have been
analytically calculated. The usual Fermi behaviour is re-obtained taking the
anomalous exponent to be zero.Comment: 3 pages, Revte
