Keith Roby Memorial Lecture in Community Science ( 1998 ) “ Using Economics to Protect the Environment ”

Over the years, environmentalists have expressed considerable hostility towards economics and economists. The view is that economics is part of the problem rather than the solution; economics is seen as the ideology of those who exploit the environment and consistently dismiss environmental concerns as `too expensive'. Too often political leaders and others argue that new measures to protect th...

Keith Simmons

Computer scientists use formal verification to attempt to provide guarentees to the users of software about the run time characteristics of a given program. Verification techniques today often require a TCB or Trusted Code Base which due to time or effort constraints, the authors were not able to prove correct. When bugs occure in these pieces, they break down the strong guarentees of formal ve...

Glomerulonephritis Keith

Early diagnosis of glomerulonephritis (GN) in the adolescent is important in initiating appropriate treatment and controlling chronic glomerular injury that may eventually lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The spectrum of GN in adolescents is more similar to that seen in young and middle-aged adults than to that observed in prepubertal children. In this article, the authors discuss the cl...

Counting Keith numbers

A Keith number is a positive integer N with the decimal representation a1a2 . . . an such that n ≥ 2 and N appears in the sequence (Km)m≥1 given by the recurrence K1 = a1, . . . ,Kn = an and Km = Km−1 + Km−2 + · · · + Km−n for m > n. We prove that there are only finitely many Keith numbers using only one decimal digit (i.e., a1 = a2 = · · · = an), and that the set of Keith numbers is of asympto...
