This paper proposes a novel theory, coined as Topological Tail Dependence Theory, that links the mathematical theory behind Persistent Homology (PH) and the financial stock market theory. This study also proposes a novel algorithm to measure topological stock market changes as well as the incorporation …

The goal of this study was to develop an automated monitoring system for the detection of pigs’ bodies, heads and tails. The aim in the first part of the study was to recognize individual pigs (in lying and standing positions) in groups and their body parts (head/ears, and tail) by using machine learning …

In 2004 the physicist Chris Anderson postulated a theory - the long tail - in which he stated that with the emergence of the internet many writers and artists get a chance of success. As a result, greatest hits and bestsellers would have an increasingly relatively smaller share in the totals of artist …

More and more fashion brands are seeing Social Media as a marketing tool. One of the biggest benefits is creating a relationship with the customers. However, small online clothing e-tailers do not or ineffectively use Social Media. The main purpose of this report was to uncover what type of content creates …

The observed persistent soft X-ray spectra (0.5 - 10 keV) of anomalous Xray pulsars (AXPs) can be explained by the magnetar model (Woods and Thompson et al., 2002 [3]) where the emission is powered by the decay of an extreme high magnetic eld ( 1014 G). Because these spectra are relatively soft, measurements …

In deze scriptie staat de veiligheid rond de golfsurfsport centraal, waarbij de hoofdvraag als leidraad dient. De hoofdvraag luidt: 'In hoeverre is het aspect veiligheid vertegenwoordigd in de golfsurfsport?'. Golfsurfen is een eeuwenoude sport, van waaruit andere boardsporten als snowboarden en kitesurfen …

Door de mogelijkheid en het gemak van online reizen boeken, hoeven veel toeristen de deur niet meer uit. De keerzijde is echter dat mensen via hetzelfde medium op zoek gaan naar reisinformatie. Toeristen worden hierdoor beter geïnformeerd en kritischer. Voornamelijk de markt van cultuurtoerisme is …

Using an optimized transformation protocol we have studied the possible interactions between transforming plasmid DNA and the Hansenula polymorpha genome. Plasmids consisting only of a pBR322 replicon, an antibiotic resistance marker for Escherichia coli and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae LEU2 gene were …
