In recent years, mechanisms favoring fair split in the ultimatum game have attracted growing interests because of its practical implications for international bargains. In this game, two players are randomly assigned two different roles respectively to split an offer: the proposer suggests how to split and the responder decides whether or not to accept it. Only when both agree is the offer succ...

P2P data stores excel if availability of inserted data items must be guaranteed. Their inherent mechanisms to counter peer population dynamics make them suitable for a wide range of application domains. This paper presents and analyzes the split maintenance operation of our P2P data store. The operation aims at reorganizing replication groups in case operation of them becomes sub-optimal. To th...

for the rural population, an improvement in the income of the agriculture and allied sectors is essential for improving the welfare, rural economic prosperity, and the overall economic development. the objective of this study was to determine the optimal pattern in various activities of forest fringe villagers of hezarjarib area in 2013 for management of resources and rural development planning...

We present here a self-contained analytic review of the role of stochastic factors acting on a virus population. We develop a simple one-locus, two-allele model of a haploid population of constant size including the factors of random drift, purifying selection, and random mutation. We consider different virological experiments: accumulation and reversion of deleterious mutations, competition be...

We have tested four newly developed 3D advection schemes named Mol-rg, Split-u, Split-us and Split-rg. We compared these schemes with Slopes and Second Moment. Mol-rg and Split-rg make use of a reduced grid, a grid with less cells near the poles, to overcome the well known pole-singularity. Two tests were performed with all schemes: the solid-body rotation test and a radon test. The radon test ...

Directed Acyclic Graphs are often used to model circuits and networks. The path length in such Directed Acyclic Graphs represents circuit or network delays. In the vertex splitting problem, the objective is to determine a minimum number of vertices from the graph to split such that the resulting graph has no path of length greater than a given δ. The problem has been proven to be NP-hard. A Gen...

Objective: We develop the use of Bayesian logistic regression models for the analysis of sex ratio data for organisms with variable brood sizes. Background: Ant populations often exhibit ‘split sex ratios’, whereby most colonies produce strongly male-biased or female-biased broods. Furthermore, colony-level sex ratios may depend on brood size or other non-normally distributed covariates. The la...

In this paper, we discuss an extension of split cuts that is based on widening the underlying disjunctions. That the formula for deriving intersection cuts based on splits can be adapted to this case has been known for a decade now. For the first time though, we present applications and computational results. We further discuss extensions of the existing theory with respect to cut strengthening...
