The issues surrounding 'Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation' (REDD) have become a major component of continuing negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This paper aims to address two key requirements of any potential REDD mechanism: first, the generation of measurable, reportable and verifiable (MRV) REDD credits; and second...

Many license identification tools have been proposed to support OSS reuse. License automatically identify licenses declared in source files. Ninka is one of the most accurate tools. Because are often newly created or inherited, rules built into need be and updated on a regular basis. However, when large number unknown detected products, it not easy manually create new rules.

That human evolution amalgamates biological and cultural change is taken as a given, and that the interaction of brain, body, and culture is more reciprocal then initially thought becomes apparent as the science of evolution evolves (Jablonka and Lamb, 2005). The contribution of science and technology to this evolutionary process is probably the first to come to mind. The biology of Homo sapien...

In this paper we describe an analysis, using evolutionary game theory, of two double auction markets—the clearing house auction and the continuous double auction. We use heuristic-strategy approximation to analyse two broad classes of traders. One heuristic strategy approximates human behavior, and the other is a simple automated strategy, so our analysis permits us to predict the evolution of ...
