Cakewalk Sampling

Combinatorial optimization is a common theme in computer science which underlies a considerable variety of problems. In contrast to the continuous setting, combinatorial problems require special solution strategies, and it’s hard to come by generic schemes like gradient methods for continuous domains. We follow a standard construction of a parametric sampling distribution that transforms the pr...

Keeping Arbitrations from Becoming Kangaroo Courts

As the contributions to this Symposium suggest, much could be done to improve arbitration, particularly the sort of “new” or “mass” arbitration that has sprouted during the past twenty-five years.

In taberna quando sumus: A Drunkard’s Cakewalk Through Wine Proteomics

Analysis of white and red wine trace proteomes via capture with combinatorial peptide ligand libraries (CPLL) is reported here. Most of the alcoholic beverages tested (all of Italian origin) were found to contain only traces of casein (on average from 20 to 60 mg/L, with a detectability of as low as 1 mg/L) and not any grape protein any longer, as they had been fined with bovine casein (surpris...
