This paper examines the effects of alternative distributional assumptions on aggregating across individuals with an identical utility function: so-called ”clones”. The standard representative agent paradigm is shown to be a special case, which is only satisfied under stringent distributional assumptions. Alternative, and more realistic distributional assumptions can produce vastly different est...

This paper focuses on the processes of rebirth characters experience in extracts from four works (two novels, a novella and short story) by Irish author Colum McCann. These are defined strong sense displacement betweenness but they go through deep transformations, physical closeness with waterscapes – spatialities that closely associated water –, as well game mirrors between them ensues. articl...

From January 1998 to December 2002, we collected 293 fecal samples from free-ranging individuals of the 4 guenon species of western Uganda, i.e., redtail guenons (Cercopithecus ascanius), blue monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis), l'hoesti monkeys (Cercopithecus lhoesti), and vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops), to quantify the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites. Helminth eggs, larvae, and p...

Definition 1. A graph G is a t × t grid if it consists of t 2 vertices forming a square t × t such that every two consecutive vertices in a row or in a colum are connected. As a result of previous excercises we know that a treewidth of a t × t grid is t. A treewidth of a graph can only decrease as a result of taking minors so we can conclude that if a graph contain a t × t grid as a minor it's ...

A fast algori thm for Gaussian eliminat ion over GF(2) is proposed. The proposed algorithm employs binary search technique to locate l s along the colum ns of the large binary matrix being triangular ized. T he algori thm requires 2m 2 + m log211 2m bit operations to triang ularize an II X m matrix on a bit-array with 11 processors and m + 2 + l"log2nl bits of vertica l memory per processor . D...

References to the veneration of Colum Cille in medieval Iceland and Norway use both versions his name adapted Old Norse conventions: Kolumba Kollumkilli. Medieval primstaven refer saint distinctly as Kolbjørn med laksen ‘Kolbjørn with salmon’.
