Kol, Bhil and Gond are some of the ancient tribal populations known from the Ramayana, one of the Great epics of India. Though there have been studies about their affinity based on classical and haploid genetic markers, the molecular insights of their relationship with other tribal and caste populations of extant India is expected to give more clarity about the the question of continuity vs. di...

Let A ⊆ F2 be a set with |2A| = K|A|. We prove that if (1) for at least a fraction 1−K−9 of all s ∈ 2A, the set (A+ s)∩A has size at most L · |A|/K, or (2) for at least a fraction K−L of all s ∈ 2A, the set (A+ s)∩A has size at least |A| · (1−K−1/L), then there is a subset B ⊆ A of size |A|/KOL(1) such that span(B) ≤ KOL(1) · |A|.

We continue the study of covering complexity of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) initiated by Guruswami, Håstad and Sudan [9] and Dinur and Kol [7]. The covering number of a CSP instance Φ, denoted by ν(Φ) is the smallest number of assignments to the variables of Φ, such that each constraint of Φ is satisfied by at least one of the assignments. We show the following results regarding how...

Cilj je ovog rada istražiti iskustva poljoprivrednika i institucija s kratkim lancima opskrbe hranom kao načinom ostvarenja prehrambenog suvereniteta. Istraživačko pitanje bilo usmjereno na otkrivanje prednosti nedostataka kratkih opskrbnih lanaca (KOL-ova), što bi moglo pomoći u boljem usmjeravanju budućeg civilnog institucionalnog angažmana podrške KOL-ovima. Također se razmatra kontekstualni...

We give an example of a boolean function whose information complexity is exponentially smaller than its communication complexity. Our result simplifies recent work of Ganor, Kol and Raz [GKR14a, GKR14b].

The past few decades have witnessed an overwhelming increase in the incidence of fungal infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Consequently, zoonotic diseases, especially through rodents constitute a prominent group among the emerging diseases. Rodents are commensal to man and related health risks are common. Water rats (Rattus norvegicus) are typical to Vembanadu-Kol wetlan...
