The abstract argumentation framework can only deal with the attack relations between single arguments and not allow the attack relations among the sets of arguments. However, there usually are various attack relations among groups in realistic applications of argumentation. In this paper, we propose a group-based argumentation framework, which allows us to cope with the attack relation among the sets...
The Global Scaling Principle (GSP) is formulated. GSP allows to build a 2,5-parametric class of klystrons fully equivalent to one given prototype. Klystrons included in the constructed class, may differ significantly on the operating frequency, power, voltage, according to the number of rays and other key parameters. At the same time all the physical processes in a class of devices are identical....
In this paper we investigate the contraction-expansion rationality conditions of fuzzy choice functions. By the approach of triangular norm, we propose a new rationality condition Fγ2 (as the fuzzy version of the crisp condition γ2) and the concept of T-rationality with respect to fuzzy choice functions. We also discuss the relationship between the fuzzy contraction-expansion rationality conditions.
The need to encourage citizens' adoption of e-government services has led to an increasing interest in the evaluation of e-government websites. The success of e-government websites depends on how well it is perceived by the end-users. User experience of e-government websites is considered one of important factors affecting the success or failure of e-government websites. However, researchers have...
In this paper, we compare the differences between traditional Kelly Criterion and Vince's optimal f through backtesting actual financial transaction data. We apply a momentum trading strategy to the Taiwan Weighted Index Futures, and analyze its profit-and-loss vectors of Kelly Criterion and Vince's optimal f, respectively. Our numerical experiments demonstrate that there is nearly 90% chance that...

The potential of typical, handwritten engineering design journals to advance knowledge in engineering education is diminished by technical issues (e.g., readability and interpretability), writing lens (i.e., focus on the result not the process), and the ‘freshness’ of the events recorded. The authors argue that utilization of a novel online electronic-Journal (e-Journal) can overcome these challenges...

We adopt the classical Fama and French (1992) [E.F. Fama, K.R. French, The Cross-Section of Expected Stock Returns, The Journal of Finance, 47 (1992) 427 -- 465.] approach to investigate the effect of Beta, size, leverage, book value to market value (B/P), and earnings to price (E/P) ratio on the average monthly returns in the China Stock Market (CSM) from July 1998 to June 2011. The phenomenon of...
In the modern enterprise system, business management and ownership are separate. Thus, the agency relationship comes out. Under the asymmetric and insufficient information, the manager would be contrary to the pursuit of business objectives and maximize their own interests, resulting in agency costs.

This study utilized Vector Auto-regression method to investigate the impulse response effect. Our empirical results showed that the amount and signal of media coverage have impact on stock return. However, enterprises might release the fake news to attain some purposes. Hence, this study suggests that investors also should pay more attention to the truth of the media coverage while making the investment...
A subgroup H of a finite group G is called S-quasinormally embedded in G if a Sylow subgroup of H is also a Sylow subgroup of some S-quasinormal subgroup of G. In this paper, the structure of a finite group G with some S-quasinormally embedded subgroups of Sylow p-subgroups with a fixed order is characterized and some known related results on p-nil potency of finite groups are generalized.
