Covert balancing: Great Powers, secondary states and US balancing strategies against China

Assembly line balancing to minimize balancing loss and system loss

Assembly Line production is one of the widely used basic principles in production system. The problem of Assembly Line Balancing deals with the distribution of activities among the workstations so that there will be maximum utilization of human resources and facilities without disturbing the work sequence. Research works reported in the literature mainly deals with minimization of idle time i.e...

On the Properties of Balancing and Lucas-Balancing $p$-Numbers

The main goal of this paper is to develop a new generalization of balancing and Lucas-balancing sequences namely balancing and Lucas-balancing $p$-numbers and derive several identities related to them. Some combinatorial forms of these numbers are also presented.

Balancing Strategies and Class Overlapping

Several studies have pointed out that class imbalance is a bottleneck in the performance achieved by standard supervised learning systems. However, a complete understanding of how this problem affects the performance of learning is still lacking. In previous work we identified that performance degradation is not solely caused by class imbalances, but is also related to the degree of class overl...

Hegemonic Threats and Great-power Balancing

The central proposition of balance-of-power theory (albeit one that has never been tested systematically) is that great powers balance against hegemonic threats. This article argues that this proposition applies to hegemonic concentrations of land-based military power in autonomous continental systems, but not necessarily to hegemonic concentrations of sea power in maritime systems. With a focu...
