Governments and environmentalists split over forests

UN Recognizes Environmentalists

Authors, editors and reviewers alike use the biomedical literature to identify appropriate journals in which to publish, potential reviewers for papers or grants, and collaborators (or competitors) with similar interests. Traditionally, this process has either relied upon personal expertise and knowledge or upon a somewhat unsystematic and laborious process of manually searching through the lit...

Complex constituencies: intense environmentalists and representation

Optimizing over the split closure

The polyhedron defined by all the split cuts obtainable directly (i.e. without iterated cut generation) from the LP-relaxation P of a mixed integer program (MIP) is termed the (elementary, or rank 1) split closure of P . This paper deals with the problem of optimizing over the split closure. This is accomplished by repeatedly solving the following separation problem: given a fractional point, s...

“ TCP Over OBS : To Split or Not To Split ? ”

Internet technology has advanced significantly over last decade. Now Internet is used not only to check emails or access information. Today’s Internet demands services such as video on demand, grid computing and very high data send rates which are bursty in nature. Current technology is unable to service such high bandwidth demands. Optical Burst Switching (OBS) technology shows huge potential ...

The Sum-over-Forests clustering

This work introduces a novel way to identify dense regions in a graph based on a mode-seeking clustering technique, relying on the Sum-Over-Forests (SoF) density index [1] (which can easily be computed in closed form through a simple matrix inversion) as a local density estimator. We rst identify the modes of the SoF density in the graph. Then, the nodes of the graph are assigned to the cluster...
