2 Cut Sparsifier Before we state the main theorem, we remind the reader of the definition of connectivity: Definition 1 (Connectivity). The connectivity λe of edge e is the size of the smallest cut containing e. The main theorem gives a construction for a graph sparsifier which preserves cuts. Theorem 1 (Fung and Harvey [FH10], Hariharan and Panigrahi [HP10]). Consider graph G = (V,E) simple an...

Sweet chili pepper (Capsicum chinense Jacq.) is an important part of the local cuisine Puerto Rico where it known as ají dulce. Considering opportunities for vegetable production in Rico, soilless alternatives sweet should be considered. This study evaluated five substrates: (1) PRO-MIX® BX (BX); (2) + Mycorrhizae (BX+Myco); (3) High porosity (HP+Myco); (4) Biofungicide (HP+Myco+Fung); and (5) ...

and real-return expectations in Canada and the United States via a twocountry extension of the equilibrium term-structure model introduced by Longstaff and Schwartz (1992). This paper is part of a larger research agenda that attempts to link empirically the structure of equilibrium termstructure models to macroeconomic fundamentals in both the United States and Canada. If they can accurately me...

Most statistical measures for extracting interesting word pairs such as MI and t-score require a large corpus to work well. This paper evaluates some of the most widely used statistical measures and introduces a method that can identify significant bigrams in relatively small texts by adapting Fung and Church's (1994) K-vec algorithm, which was originally designed to extract word correspondence...
