L ibrary and Archives Canada (LAC) contains a number of resources relevant to Indigenous heritage, among them the School Files Series which contains government records created from 1879 to 1953 about residential and day schools operating in Canada and available on microfilm. In recent years, many of these microfilm images have been digitized and made available on the LAC and other websites. The...

The appropriate description of fluctuations within the framework of evolutionary game theory is a fundamental unsolved problem in the case of finite populations. The Moran process recently introduced into this context in Nowak, [Nature (London) 428, 646 (2004)] defines a promising standard model of evolutionary game theory in finite populations for which analytical results are accessible. In th...

I (Waterhouse, 2006) argued that, because multiple intelligences, the Mozart effect, and emotional intelligence theories have inadequate empirical support and are not consistent with cognitive neuroscience findings, these theories should not be applied in education. Proponents countered that their theories had sufficient empirical support, were consistent with cognitive neuroscience findings, a...

The populations of many species fluctuate in synchrony across large geographical areas. This synchrony is often attributed to the Moran effect, that is, shared environmental fluctuations across the region. In this article, I use a series of simple metapopulation models to show that the degree of synchrony among populations separated by different distances is strongly affected by the particular ...

We present insights and empirical results from an extensive numerical study of the evolutionary dynamics of the iterated prisoner’s dilemma. Fixation probabilities for Moran processes are obtained for all pairs of 164 different strategies including classics such as TitForTat, zero determinant strategies, and many more sophisticated strategies. Players with long memories and sophisticated behavi...

Trata-se de um estudo observacional, analítico e transversal, caráter quantitativo, realizado a partir dados secundários provenientes do Sistema Informação Agravos Notificação (SINAN). Objetivou-se analisar o padrão espacial dos casos tentativas suicídio por medicamentos no município Campina Grande/PB, em 2019. Foi estatística descritiva, assim como elaboração mapas (Moran Lisa) para verificaçã...

In this paper, we study the problem of computing an LSP-decomposition of a matrix over a field. This decomposition is an extension to arbitrary matrices of the well-known LUP-decomposition of full rowrank matrices. We present three different ways of computing an LSPdecomposition, that are both rank-sensitive and based on matrix multiplication. In each case, for an m by n input matrix of unknown...
