The distribution of overlaps of solutions of a random constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is an indicator of the overall geometry of its solution space. For random k-SAT, nonrigorous methods from Statistical Physics support the validity of the one step replica symmetry breaking approach. Some of these predictions were rigorously confirmed in [Mézard et al. 2005a] [Mézard et al. 2005b]. There ...

UNLABELLED Despite the fact that subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a common disease, its pathogenesis is still uncertain. At present, viral infection is simply thought to be a possible pathogenic factor. In Caucasians and Chinese, however, a strong association has recently been found between HLA-Bw35 and SAT. Therefore, genetic factors are also thought to participate in the onset of SAT. In this st...

We describe two new probabilistic planning techniques|c-maxplan and zander|that generate contingent plans in probabilistic propositional domains. Both operate by transforming the planning problem into a stochastic satis ability problem and solving that problem instead. c-maxplan encodes the problem as an E-Majsat instance, while zander encodes the problem as an S-Sat instance. Although S-Sat pr...

Forty four pigs with typical characteristics for false positive serolpgical reactions (FPSR) were examined for the presence of Yersinia enterocolitica O:9. The positive reactions were observed in rose bengal test (RBT, N = 23 sera), serum agglutination test (SAT, N = 16), complement fixation test (CFT, N = 9), indirect ELISA (i-ELISA, N= 11) in first, and in RBT (N = 14), SAT (N = 8), CFT (N = ...

Under the premise that land administration is one of the necessary components of sustainable development and better land management, this article reviews how progressive titling could foster new land administration procedures and associated information systems. This review is based on the objectives of progressive titling as they are developed or currently implemented in various regions in the ...
