This paper introduces a new kind of local consistency based on the general idea of singleton arc consistency (SAC). This is a reduced form of SAC that only considers neighbourhoods of a variable with a singleton domain; hence, the name “neighbourhood SAC” (NSAC). Like AC and SAC, NSAC has a unique fixpoint, so that NSAC algorithms will produce the same result when applied to a problem regardles...

This study explored the determinants of Scabies infections in Secondary Schools across Anambra State to understand dynamics and identify measures that will help reduce disease burden. A survey infection was conducted on 5000 Students selected from fifty (50) randomly secondary schools State. Focus group discussions, direct clinical observations microscopic examinations were employed this study....

The eeect of using randomly selected sequence multisets for the uplink of a synchronous code-division multiple-access channel is considered. A tight lower bound on the expected value of the sum capacity over the ensemble of randomly selected sequence multisets is given. For large systems, the sum rate penalty for using randomly selected multisets is shown to be at most 1 nat and to vanish as th...

In the first follow up survey, we identified the set of hamlets in each village that had at least one targeted beneficiary and had not been randomly selected to be surveyed in the previous experiment; we then randomly selected one hamlet from this set. Within each hamlet, we selected 8 households to be surveyed for a total of 4,571 households. Of these 8 households, we oversampled beneficiaries...
