A nonlinear subdivision scheme is said to satisfy ”smoothness equivalence”

This paper analyzes how US presidential candidates should allocate resources across states to maximize the probability of winning the election, by developing and estimating a probabilisticvoting model of political competition under the Electoral College system. Actual campaigns act in close agreement with the model. There is a 0.9 correlation between equilibrium and actual presidential campaign...

writing is a crucial skill for scholars, and one that needs to be developed. An abstract gives you only a few hundred words in which to convince someone that your research is of interest, and that you are a serious, rigorous scholar; it is therefore crucial that your abstract is convincing and compelling. It is not something to be dashed off at the last minute, but rather must be honed so that ...

The composition of interactive multimedia titles is a challenge for all advanced multimedia authoring tools. When non-interactive titles were specified by aligning the media items on a temporal axis such as time lines or tracks, now interactive multimedia titles require a non-linear temporal model. Thus, authoring becomes more complex, and the structure of a title is more difficult to visualize...

In this paper, we examine the characteristics of titles (average length, proportion of titles with subtitles, proportion of interrogatory, and indicative titles) and how they changed over a substantial period of time (half a century). We consistently analyze core literature in five diverse fields, in order to probe the usage of titles as a disciplinary identity building tool. In addition, we st...

This paper delivers a precise recommendation for how presidential candidates should allocate their resources to maximize the probability of gaining a majority in the Electoral College. A two-candidate, probabilistic-voting model reveals that more resources should be devoted to states which are likely to be decisive in the electoral college and, at the same time, have very close state elections....
