Further Discussion on Hypothecateability of Domain Name Rights

A further note on the scientific name of Bullocks' Oriole.

Chesser (2013) intended to introduce a justified emendation to Icterus bullockii under Article 32.5.1 of the Code (ICZN 1999), because the name honors both William Bullock, Sr., and William Bullock, Jr. However, the correction bullockorum is "incorrect" and therefore is an unjustified emendation (Article 33.2.3). Under the assumption that the name Bullock was latinized (cf. Article 31.1.1) to B...

On name-based inter-domain routing

Locating objects with topology-independent identifiers has emerged as a key functionality in recent content networking approaches. Numerous designs have been proposed to address the obvious scalability and efficiency challenges such systems face in Internetscale deployments. These designs have often been based on implicit assumptions of full deployment and a homogeneous autonomous system struct...

Further discussion on linear production functions and DEA

The purpose of the current paper is to clarify the misunderstanding in using the constant returns to scale (CRS) model in data envelopment analysis (DEA) to estimate returns to scale (RTS) classi®cation. By illustrating the following two di€erent assumptions: (a) all decision making units (DMUs) are assumed to be compared to a CRS frontier in the CCR model, i.e., all DMUs are assumed to be capa...

A further discussion on quasar-galaxy associations from gravitational lensing

Quasar-galaxy associations, if they result from the effect of gravitational lensing by foreground galaxies, depend sensitively on the shape of the quasar number counts. Two kinds of quasar number-magnitude relations are predicted to produce quite different properties in quasar-galaxy associations: the counts of Boyle, Shanks and Peterson (1988; BSP) provide both positive and “negative” associat...
