Development of an online reputation monitor by using existing components
No full textCustomer opinion about companies are very
important and companies often get customer feedback
via surveys or other official methods. Some customers
prefer to voice their opinion on the internet where they
take comfort in anonymity. Currently this form of
customer feedback is not closely monitored. This project
aims to address this shortcoming by developing a system
capable of monitoring various web and social
networking sites for customer feedbackhttp://tinyurl.com/os8b74
An efficient method for calculating the minimum distance from an operating point to a specific (hyberbolic) efficient frontier
No full textThe is a pre-copy-editing, author-produced pdf of an article accepted for publication in IMA Journal of Management Mathematics following peer review. The definitive publisher-authenticated version: E.A. Silver, D.P. Bischak, and G.J.C. da Silveira, “An efficient method for calculating the minimum distance from an operating point to a specific (hyberbolic) efficient frontier,” IMA Journal of Management Mathematics 20:3 (2009), 251–261 is available online at doi:10.1093/imaman/dpn023. Deposited according to policy found on Sherpa/Romeo July 12, 2012.This paper is concerned with movement from a current operating point so as to reach a two-dimensional,
efficient frontier. After a discussion of different criteria for deciding on which point on the frontier to
target, we focus, as an illustration, on a particular inventory management context and use of the criterion
of minimum distance from the current point to the frontier. Specifically, the efficient frontier turns out
to be an hyperbola in a two-dimensional representation of total (across a population of items) average
stock (in monetary units) versus total fixed costs of replenishments per year. Any current (or proposed)
operating strategy, differing from the class along the frontier, is located above the frontier. Finding the
minimum distance from the current point to the frontier requires determining the smallest root of a quartic
equation within a restricted range.Ye
Andersonian Deontic Logic, Propositional Quantification, and Mally
No full textWe present a new axiomatization of the deontic fragment of Anderson's relevant deontic logic, give an Andersonian reduction of a relevant version of Mally's deontic logic previously discussed in this journal, study the effect of adding propositional quantification to Anderson's system, and discuss the meaning of Anderson's propositional constant in a wide range of Andersonian deontic systems.Values and TechnologyTechnology, Policy and Managemen

Anderson's Relevant Deontic and Eubouliatic Systems
No full textWe present axiomatizations of the deontic fragment of Anderson's relevant deontic logic (the logic of obligation and related concepts) and the eubouliatic fragment of Anderson's eubouliatic logic (the logic of prudence, safety, risk, and related concepts).Values and TechnologyTechnology, Policy and Managemen
De neurowetenschappen en de vrijheid van de wil
No full textHersenonderzoekers en psychologen beweren tegenwoordig vaak dat de neurowetenschappen uitwijzen dat de vrije wil niet bestaat (zie bijvoorbeeld het boek van Victor Lamme uit 2010). Ik zal betogen dat deze wetenschappen dit niet uitwijzen en dat de vrije wil wel degelijk bestaat.Values and TechnologyTechnology, Policy and Managemen
