SIR JOHN HILL (1714-1775), the mid-Georgian entrepreneur, man of letters and science, must have written at least ten times the approximately two hundred letters that survive.' Disappearance of the other nine-tenths is not mysterious: Hill was vilified by most of his contemporaries, who enjoyed little, if any, sense that the documents pertaining to his life could ever be of any interest to poste...

We present a range of exploratory methods at the intersection of geographical analysis and graph/network theory to investigate placement of Bronze age and Iron age hill forts in a landscape, utilising varying degrees of domain knowledge (expert/archaeologist). Techniques that we employ include: intervisibility/line-of-sight; visible area of hillforts; landcover and geomorphometrics; and network...

1. The globin prepared from hemoglobin by the acid acetone method is denatured globin. 2. The denaturation and coagulation of globin by acid acetone are reversible. 3. Soluble globin can be obtained from the acid acetone globin even if the globin is first precipitated by trichloracetic acid or heated to 100 degrees C. 4. Hill and Holden's theory that they separated native globin from hemoglobin...

Pnyx is an easy-to-use and entirely web-based tool for preference aggregation that does not require any prior knowledge about social choice theory. The tool is named after a hill in Athens called Pnyx, which was the official meeting place of the Athenian democratic assembly and is therefore known as one of the earliest sites in the creation of democracy. Pnyx is available at pnyx.dss.in.tum.de.

On October 29, 2019, a group of intellectuals met at the Sociology Department usp, initiative Tempo Social editor, for an interview with Patricia Hill Collins, internationally renowned American intellectual, who opened new perspectives Black feminist thought, as critical social theory. The departure point was Collins book, entitled Intersectionality Critical Theory, where she explores parallels...

A general hill-climbing attack algorithm based on Bayesian adaption is presented. The approach uses the scores provided by the matcher to adapt a global distribution computed from a development set of users, to the local specificities of the client being attacked. The proposed attack is evaluated on a competitive feature-based signature verification system over the 330 users of the MCYT databas...

This paper provides guidelines to design climbers considering a landscape shape under study. In particular, we aim at competing best improvement and first improvement strategies, as well as evaluating the behavior of different neutral move policies. Some conclusions are assessed by an empirical analysis on non-neutral (NK-) and neutral (quantized NK-) landscapes. Experiments show the ability of...
