Shapes Determine Elections

چکیده

When we elect representatives to the U.S. House of Representatives (or state legislative bodies, or even school board), do so by dividing people into districts, and having each district one representative. The districts draw as shapes on maps can affect outcome elections. As a result, process creating changing create them are important. After every census, must construct new map. they that unfairly, it give an unfair advantage political parties. This is called gerrymandering. By looking at examining their compactness, start detect fair maps.

Determine Distinct Shapes of Rigid Origami

Rigid origami is a class of origami whose entire surface remains rigid during folding except at crease lines. In this work, we explore the idea of determining distinct shapes that can be realized by a given crease pattern. Typically, crease pattern is designed with a single target shape in mind. However, as the advances in material science and robotics engineering enable the realization of self...

Distinct cell shapes determine accurate chemotaxis

The behaviour of an organism often reflects a strategy for coping with its environment. Such behaviour in higher organisms can often be reduced to a few stereotyped modes of movement due to physiological limitations, but finding such modes in amoeboid cells is more difficult as they lack these constraints. Here, we examine cell shape and movement in starved Dictyostelium amoebae during migratio...

Surface tension-like forces determine bacterial shapes: Streptococcus faecium.

The same tendency that causes soap bubbles to achieve a minimum surface area for the volume enclosed seems to account for many of the features of growth and division of bacteria, including both bacilli and cocci. It is only necessary to assume that growth takes place in zones and that only in these zones does the tension caused by hydrostatic pressure create the strain that forces the cell to i...

Garbled Elections

Majority rules are frequently used to decide whether or not a public good should be provided, but will typically fail to achieve an efficient provision. We provide a worst-case analysis of the majority rule with an optimally chosen majority threshold, assuming that voters have independent private valuations and are ex-ante symmetric (provision cost shares are included in the valuations). We sho...

Fair Elections

The fair way to decide an election between two candidates a and b is majority rule; if more than half the electorate prefer a to b, then a is elected; otherwise b is elected. Arrow’s theorem asserts that no fair election procedure exists for choosing from among three or more candidates. This note gives an exposition of Arrow’s theorem. It also describes the relation of election procedures betwe...
