Pricing is one of the best tools to improve the efficiency of highly congested transportation networks. It has been shown that an optimal toll pattern can be determined by applying the welfare-economics principle of marginal pricing. Because implementing the marginal pricing solution to the toll optimization problem requires charging each arc of the network any real valued toll, which is not re...

In the course of counter-insurgency campaigns, military forces expend considerable resources and time conducting cordon and search operations in an effort to interdict and suppress criminal groups. However, these operations have a low success rate, with most operations yielding little intelligence or marginal tactical gains while simultaneously angering the local populace. This paper demonstrat...

Il s’agit d’une patiente âgée de 36 ans, sans antécédents particuliers, G3P3, ayant accouché à deux reprises par voie basse. Elle a été admise par le biais des urgences à un terme de 38 Semaines d’aménorrhée pour entrée spontanée en travail. Une échographie obstétricale a été pratiquée objectivant un placenta antérieur loin du col et une image oblongue rappelant le cordon ombilical interposée e...

L’ hydatidose est une anthropo-zoonose due au développement chez l’homme de la forme larvaire du taenia Echinococcus granulosis. La plupart des kystes hydatiques se localisent dans le foie et les poumons. Le kyste hydatique du cordon spermatique est extrêmement rare avec seulement 4 cas rapportés dans la littérature. Les auteurs rapportent dans cet article un nouveau cas d’hydatidose du cordon ...

As a result of the work, commercial plantations’ design elements prostrate and semi-prostrate forms garden blackberry ( Eubatus Focke) were optimized. When constructing agrocenosis according to cordon-free bush technology, it is proposed place planting material in single-line with distance at least one meter between plants on wide rows covered black polymer film tube laid under for drip irrigat...

So far we have assumed the existence of a (federal) government capable of imposing a different level of a road tax on each part of the network and returning the revenue either lump-sum or in the form of a labor tax cut. Although the above setting can potentially lead to an (economically) efficient allocation (i.e. when the correct level of a tax is combined with the correct revenue-recycling pr...

The congestion pricing has been discussed as a practical tool for traffic management on urban transport networks. The traffic congestion is defined as an external diseconomy on the network in transport economics. It has been proposed that the congestion pricing would be used to reduce the traffic on the network. This paper investigates the cordon-based second-best congestion-pricing problems on...
