Pufendorf’s major work on “The Law of Nature and of Nations” has never been considered to have had much influence on economics and on the development of economics as a science. The present paper by no means attempts to propagate a different view. This would be inappropriate. However, what Pufendorf says about the importance of contracts among the members of a community and the formation of supr...

Intelligence analysis involves routinely monitoring and correlating large amount of data streaming from multiple sources. In order to detect important patterns, the analyst normally needs to look at data gathered over a certain time window. Given the size of data and rate at which it arrives, it is usually impossible to manually process every record or case. Instead, automated filtering (classi...

This paper presents the Gavagai Living Lexicon, which is an online distributional semantic model currently available in 20 different languages. We describe the underlying distributional semantic model, and how we have solved some of the challenges in applying such a model to large amounts of streaming data. We also describe the architecture of our implementation, and discuss how we deal with co...

In this report we present the first experimental results to support our proposal [1] as an attempt to optimize stream processing for XML data. A core prototype called O-Search was implemented to have a concrete understanding for the complexity of stream-querying algorithms i, with respect to different structures of XML documents (wide, depth, various size). Space and time measurements are appli...

We propose a new, media-independent protocol for including program timing, structure and identity information in Internet media streams. The protocol uses signaling messages called cues to indicate events whose timing is significant to receivers, such as the start or stop time of a media program. We describe the implementation and operation of a prototype Internet radio station which transmits ...

the influence of leachate from open solid waste dumping near salhad stream (abbottabad, pakistan) was investigated to quantify the variations of water quality during august 2007 to april 2008. samples were collected from five different sites located along the salhad stream. two sites were located before the mixing of solid waste leachate with the surface water. one sampling site was of leach...

Binary Decision Diagram (in short BDD) is an efficient data structure which has been used widely in computer science and engineering. BDD-based attack in key stream cryptanalysis is one of the best forms of attack in its category. In this paper, we propose a new key stream attack which is based on ZDD(Zero-suppressed BDD). We show how a ZDD-based key stream attack is more efficient in time and ...
