Dugald Stewart on Poor Relief:

The Heritage of Dugald Stewart : Oxford Philosophy and the Method of Political Economy*

On generalized Frame-Stewart numbers

For the multi-peg Tower of Hanoi problem with k ≥ 4 pegs, so far the best solution is obtained by the Stewart’s algorithm [15] based on the the following recurrence relation: Sk(n) = min 1≤t≤n � 2 · Sk(n− t) + Sk−1(t) � , S3(n) = 2 − 1. In this paper, we generalize this recurrence relation to Gk(n) = min 1≤t≤n � pk · Gk(n− t) + qk · Gk−1(t) � , G3(n) = p3 · G3(n− 1) + q3, for two sequences of a...

Poisoning Rats on Stewart Island

Poison was used at remote anchorages of southern Stewart Island in spring and summer of 1984/85 to reduce the likelihood of ship rats (Rattus rattus), Norway rats (R. norvegicus) and kiore (R. exulans) boarding fishing boats heading for the Snares Islands. Poison baits were removed at successively slower rates, probably because poisoning had reduced rat numbers. The effectiveness of poisoning w...
