Roth, Norman G. (Whirlpool Corp., St. Joseph, Mich.) and Robert B. Wheaton. Continuity of psychrophilic and mesophilic growth characteristics in the genus Arthrobacter. J. Bacteriol. 83:551-555. 1962.-The effect of temperature on growth of seven members of the genus Arthrobacter was determined at 0, 7, 20, 30, and 37 C. In general, no sharp cutoff point was observed between growth-temperature r...

In this paper we examine the implications of ideal and anti-ideal decision-making units on Benefit-of-the-Doubt (BoD) model. particular, verify that, in presence an (anti-ideal) unit, efficiency scores BoD (inverted BoD) model can be obtained without solving relevant linear programming problems. case, it suffices to choose largest (smallest) element-wise divided component indicators evaluated u...

AutoBAHN (Automated Bandwidth Allocation across Heterogeneous Networks) has specified and is now prototyping a Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) service intended to operate in a multidomain environment using heterogeneous transmission technologies. The AutoBAHN system aims at providing a guaranteed capacity, connection-oriented service between two end points. This paper highlights the architecture of t...

This paper reports a simulation study of the interaction between the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) mechanisms in broadband satellite networks. It forms part of a broader effort aiming at the identification of the proper mechanisms and algorithms to efficiently carry TCP traffic over these networks. We investigate two aspects of this rather complicated interac...

Finding the most probable parse tree in the framework of Data-Oriented Parsing (DOP), a Stochastic Tree Substitution Parsing scheme developed by R. Bod (Bod 92), has proven to be NP-hard in the most general case (Sima’an 96a). However, introducing some a priori restrictions on the choice of the elementary trees (i.e. grammar rules) leads to interesting DOP instances with polynomial time-complex...
