Cj(S): The total completion time of schedule S. Finally, for convenience, for each order constructed from aj (bj , cj), we simply call it order aj (respectively, bj , cj). Also, we assume that the subscripts of the orders in a schedule are labelled in such a way that, aj (bj , or cj) (j = 1, 2, . . . , n): means that there are (j − 1) orders of type a scheduled before aj (respectively, bj , or ...

This essay is one of a series on the arts and forms emergent common sense in globally interconnected, politically-semiotically-media fraught, Anthropocenic twenty-first century. The restlessly play hopscotch with temporalities locations. Since days Third Cinema, auteur cinema, national cinemas, films have attempted complex strategies, often mobilizing local international genre film subversively...

ing momentum p from ζ(q, ω) in equation (14) results to a relation 〈〈c†p+q,↑cp,↓;S (0, 0)〉〉 = cJ 2 〈c†p,↓cp,↓〉 − 〈c † p+q,↑cp+q,↑〉 ω − εp + εp+q − cJ〈Sz〉 ×G(q, ω). (15) Combining equations (10) and (14) results to a closed form of Green’s function equation G(q, ω), (ω − cJ〈σ〉 + cJ 2 〈S〉 ∑ p 〈c†p,↓cp,↓〉 − 〈c † p+q,↑cp+q,↑〉 ω − εp + εp+q − cJ〈Sz〉 )

This paper presents a generalisation of the Condorcet Jury Theorem. All results to date assume a fixed value for the competence of jurors, or alternatively, a fixed probability distribution over the possible competences of jurors. In this paper we develop the idea that we can learn the competence of the jurors by the jury vote. We assume a uniform prior probability assignment over the competenc...

In sub-Saharan Africa almost all of the malaria deaths occur in children below five years of age and these deaths occur within 48 hours of onset of symptoms. Consequently, the home management of malaria (HMM), was introduced to ensure early recognition of and prompt and appropriate response to malarial illness in children within the home or the community. In this report the impact of HMM in chi...

Throughout its history, the jury has attracted both stiff criticism and unqualified praise, viewed by turns as an incompetent, naïve, and biased decision maker and as an astute repository of folk wisdom and common sense. Here, we examine how the American jury actually behaves in the tort cases that produce the majority of civil jury trials. The evidence shows that juries usually use reasonable ...

This supplementary materials explain some implementation details and present additional experiments that are complementary to our main paper ”Joint Unsupervised Learning of Deep Representations and Image Clusters”. The source code for this work can be downloaded from https://github.com/jwyang/ joint-unsupervised-learning. 1. Affinity Measure for Clusters In this paper, we employ the affinity me...

BACKGROUND Cholestatic jaundice (CJ) in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) poses diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. This is an evaluation of the role of ERCP in SCD. METHODS A total of 224 SCD patients with CJ had ERCP. The indications for ERCP were based on clinical and biochemical evidence of CJ and ultrasound findings. RESULTS The indications were: CJ only in79, CJ and dilated duc...

We study the criminal court process focusing on the interaction between plea bargaining and jury trials. We model plea bargaining such that a prosecutor makes a takeit-or-leave-it offer and a defendant, who is either guilty or innocent, pleads either guilty or not guilty. If the defendant pleads not guilty, the case goes to a jury trial, which follows a strategic voting model. Plea bargaining p...
