We have come to rely on a wide variety of tools to help us mine large research libraries for useful nuggets of information. Among these tools are cross-indexes such as the card catalog, Mathematical Reviews, Current Index to Statistics , the ACM Guide to Computing Literature , Science Citation Index, and the various classiication systems upon which these are based. Today we are seeing explosive...

farmers in the indus basin, pakistan have generally switched to groundwater for additional water supplies due to the irregular supply of irrigation water; currently over 50% of the agricultural land in the basin is at least partially irrigated by tube-wells. these wells pump fresh groundwater, which essentially is the result of massive leakage from irrigation canals into the originally saltwate...

Some extensions of a modeling system are described that facilitate higher level structure identification within a model. These structures, which often involve complementarity relationships, can be exploited by modern large scale mathematical programming algorithms. A specific implementation of an extended mathematical programming tool is outlined that communicates structure in a computationally...

Adhesive conidia of the nematophagous fungus, Drechmeria coniospora (Drechsler) W. Gams and Jansson (Moniliales: Deuteromycetes), would occasionally attach but never penetrate the infective stages of insect parasitic Neoaplectana carpocapsae, N. glaseri, N. bibionis, N. intermedia, and Heterorhabditis helfothidis (Rhabditida). However, adult and pre-infective stages of Neoaplectana spp. became ...

FLOPC++ is an open source algebraic modeling language implemented as a C++ class library. It allows linear optimization problems to be modeled in a declarative style, similar to algebraic modeling languages, such as GAMS and AMPL, within a C++ program. The project is part of COmputational INfrastructure for Operations Research (COIN-OR) and uses its Open Solver Interface (OSI) to achieve solver...

In the GRID technique one measures Doppler-broadened line profiles of γ transitions using the high resolution crystal spectrometers GAMS, which are installed at the high flux reactor of the ILL Grenoble. One of the essential applications of this technique is the measurement of nuclear state lifetimes. In the present contribution the precision and the principal limits of the technique are discus...

Over the course of COVID-19 pandemic, Generalised Additive Models (GAMs) have been successfully employed on numerous occasions to obtain vital data-driven insights. In this paper we further substantiate success story GAMs, demonstrating their flexibility by focusing three relevant pandemic-related issues. First, examine interdepency among infections in different age groups, concentrating school...
