Environmental problems behind the Great Wall.
China is a rapidly developing country with one-fifth of the world's population. The country faces major social and political problems, which have gained the world's attention. Equally challenging are serious environmental problems resulting from overpopulation, rapid industrialization, and overuse of natural resources that could potentially threaten the health of China's 1.2 billion people, whe...
متن کاملBehind Every Great Tree is a Great (Phylogenetic) Network
In Francis and Steel (2015), it was shown that there exists non-trivial networks on 4 leaves upon which the distance metric affords a metric on a tree which is not the base tree of the network. In this paper we extend this result in two directions. We show that for any tree T there exists a family of non-trivial HGT networks N for which the distance metric dN affords a metric on T . We addition...
متن کاملIs the Great Attractor Really a Great Wall?
We discuss some of the cosmological consequences of a late-time ( z 5 lo3) phase transition which produces light domain walls. The observed peculiar velocity field of the Universe and the observed isotropy of the microwave background radiation severely constrain the wall surface density (= a) in such a scenario: Go 5 10-4H~ (Ho is the present value of the Hubble parameter). The most interesting...
متن کاملGalaxies Behind the Milky Way and the Great Attractor
Dust and stars in the plane of the Milky Way create a ”Zone of Avoidance” in the extragalactic sky. Galaxies are distributed in gigantic labyrinth formations, filaments and great walls with occasional dense clusters. They can be traced all over the sky, except where the dust within our own galaxy becomes too thick – leaving about 25% of the extragalactic sky unaccounted for. Our Galaxy is a nat...
متن کاملThe Great DNS Wall of China
Internet freedom advocacy sites [1] have studied and documented these censorship practices, enumerating the techniques employed by the censoring bodies. For example, censors block the IP addresses of controversial websites, inspect TCP packet exchanges for keywords and tamper with DNS records. These advocacy sites have already catalogued the types of sites that are censored and the means by whi...
