Reviews of studies to predict invasiveness have been carried out by Kolar and Lodge (2001) and updated by Hayes and Barry (2008). A significant body of literature has built up across a range of taxa looking at correlates of invasion success. Several points can be made from this literature. First, while invasiveness cannot be predicted with certainty, statistical approaches can produce models th...

This paper examines the effect of the receiver pays principle (RPP) on the calling price, social welfare and interconnection charge. A significant difficulty with introducing this system in telecommunications pricing is the possibility that the receiving party may refuse to receive a call if the charge he has to bear is very high. We find the condition under which no calls are refused and show ...

Consider the following consistent Sylvester tensor equation[mathscr{X}times_1 A +mathscr{X}times_2 B+mathscr{X}times_3 C=mathscr{D},]where the matrices $A,B, C$ and the tensor $mathscr{D}$ are given and $mathscr{X}$ is the unknown tensor. The current paper concerns with examining a simple and neat framework for accelerating the speed of convergence of the gradient-based iterative algorithm and ...
