Every 10 years census data force the United States Congress to reapportion the House of Representatives, to ensure fair representation. Even though apportionment appears to be a simple act of arithmetic, disputes about the proper basis for apportionment have led, among other things, to the first use of a presidential veto in U.S. history. Moreover, malapportionment resulting from these disputes...

Traditional risk assessment and source apportionment of sediments based on bulk polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can introduce biases due to unknown aging effects in various sediments. We used a mild solvent (hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin) to extract the bioavailable fraction of PAHs (a-PAHs) from sediment samples collected in Pearl River, southern China. We investigated the potential app...

The objective this is verify whether inclusion intangible assets enhances ability proposals Formulary Apportionment explain variability profitability. research question addressed “What explanatory...

It has been three years since states began to implement the accountability and program improvement provisions of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act of 1990 (Perkins II), and policymakers are asking whether these provisions are working. We know, from previous National Center for Research in Vocational Education (NCRVE) research, that states adopted systems of mea...

This paper considers some issues related to the apportionment of credit problem in Genetic Based Machine Learning systems (GBML). A GBML system is composed of three major subsystems. The first one, the performance subsystem, is a parallel adaptive rule-based system where the knowledge base is a set of rules expressed in a low-level syntax. The second subsystem, called Genetic Algorithm (GA), is...

OBJECTIVE To study the characterization apportionment of main ion concentrations of PM10 under the influence of trajectory wind direction in London. METHODS PM10 samples from 1 May 1995 to 30 October 1995 of Oxford Street of Central London were collected, the metals and anions of which were measured using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and ion chromatography (IC). Composite trajectories...
