Most wide-area caching schemes are client initiated. Decisions on when and where to cache information are made without the beneet of the server's global knowledge of the situation. We believe that the server should play a role in making these caching decisions , and we propose geographical push-caching as a way of bringing the server back into the loop. The World Wide Web is an excellent exampl...

Geographical sero-prevalence of Anaplasma marginale (T) in sheep, Ovis aries (L) was done from January-May, 2012 in district Peshawar which is a crowded area of Pakistan. In this area sheep’s infection with A. marginale is not reported before. For this purpose, 376 serum samples were obtained conveniently from 4 different breeds of sheep, from different geographical areas of Peshawar. An indire...

This paper reports the results of a research project, funded by the RICS Education Trust, that examined the geographical spread of, and shifts in, office property values within an urban area. The aim of this paper is to question whether a geographical analysis of property values can aid business location planning. The research project was divided into two components. After a literature review, ...

We suggest that the proximity of a country to other countries is a factor that affects its choice as an MNE location. We introduce the concept of a country’s proximity to the global distribution of knowledge, markets and resources, and frame this concept as a function of both geographic distance and the worldwide spatial distribution of these factors. We test our location model on a dataset com...

To optimally allocate health resources, policy planners require an indicator reflecting the inequality. Currently, health inequalities are frequently measured by area-based indices. However, methodologies for constructing the indices have been hampered by two difficulties: 1) incorporating the geographical relationship into the model and 2) selecting appropriate variables from the high-dimensio...

Pharmacopoeial standards for crude drugs are established based on analysis of authenticated specimens which should be representative of the quality of material traditionally specified in systems of traditional medicine from species’ geographical origin. This reflects the ‘geo-authentic’ material that corresponds to traditional ecological and medical knowledge. In cases where specimens are obtai...
