Advances in corporate householding are needed to address certain categories of data quality problems caused by data misinterpretation. In this paper, we first summarize some of these data quality problems and our more recent results from studying corporate householding applications and knowledge exploration. Then we outline a technical approach to a corporate householding knowledge processor (CHKP) to solve a particularly important type of corporate householding problem-entity aggregation. We illustrate the operation of the CHKP by using a motivational example in account consolidation. Our CHKP design and implementation uses and expands on the COntext INterchange (COIN) technology to manage and process corporate householding knowledge.

When it comes to extra credit policies in undergraduate level classes, an argument can be made towards both the positive and the negative. The positive is the student who receives extra credit may be able to better their grade with extra work. But many instructors vow not to give any extra credit to any student since it is essentially unfair to the rest of the students who do not ask for or need extra credit. However, it has been found that even such instructors end up making exceptions. This paper introduces a new extra credit policy that turns extra credit into a fair grading opportunity for all students taking a particular class, and, from the students' perspective, helps their understanding of the course material.

Three abstract optimization problems are presented along with doubly iterative algorithms for their numerical solution. These algorithms are generalizations of particular algorithms described by Barr and Gilbert [19], [21] and Fujisawa and Yasuda [22]. The supporting theory is fully developed along with proofs of convergence. Practical aspects of computations are considered and procedures which insure rapid convergence are discussed. Two applications to discrete-time optimal control problems are described.

An intensive analysis of the recreational boating fatality history is described to quantify the significance of hypothermia and other cold-related mechanisms as risks to recreational boaters. Of boating fatalities .apprx. 16% involve cold-related causes. A demographic analysis of the identified cold-related fatalities is also given.
A demographic analysis of recreational boating fatalities determined to involve cold-related causes is presented. The purpose of this analysis is to characterize high-risk populations among recreactional boaters. The ...
A demographic analysis of recreational boating fatalities determined to involve cold-related causes is presented. The purpose of this analysis is to characterize high-risk populations among recreactional boaters. The fatalities occur heavily in the spring and extend into early summer, involve mostly males, and heavily involve boaters who can swim but are not wearing a flotation device. The geographic regions of greater risk include the deep south of the USA.
This paper presents a new method for designing an optimal harvesting agriculture manipulator. The novelty in our approach is the re-configurability of the robot's joints, i.e., the ability to assemble a given set ...

The half-space problem of rarefied gas flow (the Kramers problem) is considered for the linearized Boltzmann equation and arbitrary gas-surface interaction. Accurate numerical results for the velocity slip coefficient and velocity defect are obtained for the rigid sphere interaction and Maxwellian boundary condition.
