Instead of attempting a full scale review, this paper concentrates on the area of group breeding, firstly reviewing the essential differences between group breeding schemes and the traditional stud ram breeding system, then briefly reviewing the recentfine tuning of the open nucleus ram breem programme of the Australian Merino Society, and final1 +e identifying research and development prioriti...

Virtually all the literature on French Schwa assumes that schwa deletion and epenthesis are categorical phenomena. This paper is an attempt to challenge this traditional view. After reviewing the evidence in favour of the non-categorical nature of (word-final) schwa, we propose a novel account framed within representational Optimality Theory (OT). It is argued that non-categorical schwa emerges...

This paper discusses the device physics of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs). After reviewing the status of device technology, we use results of our numerical simulations to discuss the physics of CNTFETs emphasizing the similarities and differences with traditional FETs. The discussion shows that our understanding of CNTFET device physics has matured to the point where experim...

We model a family of peer-reviewing processes as game-theoretic problems. This helps to understand elements of existing peer-reviewing procedures, and to predict the impact of new mechanisms. Real world conference peer-reviewing processes are overly complex and here we define and analyze simple versions. Our versions provides a contribution towards formalizing and understanding these complex re...
