Deterrence and Coercive Diplomacy: The Contributions of Alexander George

Alexander George was a towering figure who made path breaking and enduring contributions to political psychology, international relations, and social science methodology. I focus on George’s closely related research programs on deterrence and coercive diplomacy, with special attention to the importance of the asymmetry of motivation, strategies for “designing around” a deterrent threat, the con...

Sorting on the OTIS-Mesh

In this paper we present sorting algorithms on the recently introducedN processor OTIS-Mesh, a network with diameter 4 p N 3 consisting of N connected meshes of size p N pN . We show that k-k sorting can be done in 8 p N + O(N 1 3 ) steps for k = 1; 2; 3; 4 and in 2k p N + O(kN 1 3 ) steps for k > 4 with constant buffersize for all k. We show how our algorithms can be modified to achieve 4 p N+...

George

not much worried whether they be right or wrong. His desire to be the center of attraction may lead him to do things considered irrational when viewed from other angles. If he is in the upper 10 per cent of his class at school, it might be well to advance him to the next grade, provided he is sufficiently interested to show that he is capable of doing the work. If convenient, the teacher should...

Eccentricity of the nodes of OTIS-cube and Enhanced OTIS-cube

In this paper we have classified the nodes of OTIS-cube based on their eccentricities. OTIS (optical transpose interconnection system) is a large scale optoelectronic computer architecture, proposed in [1], that benefit from both optical and electronic technologies. We show that radius and diameter of OTIS-Qn is n + 1 and 2n + 1 respectively. We also show that average eccentricity of OTIS-cube ...
