Count(q) Does Not Imply Count(p)

I solve a conjecture originally studied by M. Ajtai. It states that for different primes q, p the matching principles Count(q) and Count(p) are logically independent. I prove that this indeed is the case. Actually I show that Count(q) implies Count(p) exactly when each prime factor in p also is a factor in q. 1 The logic of elementary counting “She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me,. . ....

Does metadata count ?

This study investigates the effectiveness of metadata on websites. Specifically, the study investigated whether the extent of metadata use by a site influences the Web Impact Factor (WIF) of the site. The WIF is a Webometric measure of the recognition that a site has on the web. WIFs were calculated for two classes of sites: electronic journals and NZ University Web Sites. The most positive cor...

Monitoring does not always count.

The gross under-resourcing of conservation endeavours has placed an increasing emphasis on spending accountability. Increased accountability has led to monitoring forming a central element of conservation programs. Although there is little doubt that information obtained from monitoring can improve management of biodiversity, the cost (in time and/or money) of gaining this knowledge is rarely c...

Does crossover interference count in Saccharomyces cerevisiae?

We previously proposed a "counting model" for meiotic crossover interference, in which double-strand breaks occur independently and a fixed number of noncrossovers occur between neighboring crossovers. Whereas in some organisms (group I) this simple model alone describes the crossover distribution, in other organisms (group II) an additional assumption--that some crossovers lack interference--i...
