Political partitions—fresh political borders cut through at least one community’s homeland—have been regularly commended to resolve national, ethnic and communal
conflicts. The strongest five political arguments in their ...
Recent economic and technical advances in wireless communication have allowed the deployment of low-power and lossy wireless networks—LowPANs, potentially comprised of a large number of nodes to serve new types of applications. ...
As a part of attempt for phosphorus (P) recovery from P-saturated alum sludge, which was used as a low-cost P-adsorbent in treatment reed bed for wastewater treatment, decolouration of H2SO4 leachate obtained from previous ...
This paper, via the analysis of stated preferences from a nationwide representative survey of 1,100 adults, examines the determinants of preferences
for overall government expenditure and estimates a Seemingly Unrelated ...
This article, via the analysis of stated preferences from a nationwide representative survey of 1149 adults, examines the determinants of preferences for overall government expenditure and estimates a Seemingly Unrelated ...
Despite the increasing coverage and prevalence of equality legislation and the general alignment of key determining characteristics such as educational attainment, gender differentials continue to persist in labour market ...
Partition is an intrinsically abstract and simplistic blunt instrument applied on a complex mosaic of peculiarities that constitute reality. There are very few modern states that are ethnically or culturally homogenous. ...
A mapping is local if it preserves neighbourhood. In Evolutionary Computation, locality is generally described as the property that neighbouring genotypes correspond to neighbouring phenotypes. A representation has high ...
A key indicator of problem difficulty in evolutionary computation problems is the landscape’s locality, that is whether the genotype-phenotype mapping preserves neighbourhood. In genetic programming the genotype and phenotype ...
This article presents estimates of the elasticity of demand for lottery tickets using time series data in which there is variation in the expected value of a lottery ticket induced by rollovers. An important feature of our ...
The utilisation of demand side resources is set to increase over the coming years with the advent of advanced metering infrastructure, home area networks and the promotion of increased energy efficiency. Demand side resources ...
Background: Cognitive impairment and dementia has been reported in autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) linked to the SPG4 locus. There has only been one postmortem examination described; not all accept ...
Appliance load monitoring systems are designed to disaggregate the power load of a building in order to estimate the nature of individual loads, providing a real-time fine-grained recognition of active appliances. Monitoring ...
For all the success of mainstream search engines there are a number of opportunities for improving on the conventional Web search user experience. In this short paper we consider the default assumption that search is ...
Based on first-principles calculations, we have studied the occurrence of spin polarization in the magnetic metal oxide SnO2 doped with nonmagnetic nitrogen (N) impurities. It was found that the local magnetic moments are ...
The structural and electronic properties of rutile and anatase, and the influence of both mono- and co-doping, have been studied using Density Functional Theory. Ge-doped anatase and rutile exhibit different band gap-narrowing ...
Nickel oxide (NiOx) due to its p-type nature has considerable potential as a photocathodic
material in energy conversion devices such as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). However,NiOx has not been extensively used for ...
In online social media, individuals produce vast amounts of content which in effect "instruments" the world around us. Users on sites such as Twitter are publicly broadcasting status updates that provide an indication of ...
