The 2011 Hex competition started on Sunday November 20 and finished on Monday November 21. Three programs competed: PANORAMEX by Fabien Teytaud, Tristan Cazenave, and Nicolas Jouandeau from France; WOLVE by Broderick Arneson, Ryan Hayward, and Philip Henderson from Canada; and MOHEX by Philip Henderson, Broderick Arneson, and Ryan Hayward. This year Aja Huang from Taiwan and Jakub Pawlewicz fro...

A precursor to the Southern African Plant Invaders Atlas (SAPIA) commenced in 1979 when alien invasive woody plants were surveyed along roadsides throughout Gauteng Province (formerly central Transvaal), South Africa (Wells et al. 1980). These surveys were later extended to the remainder of South Africa and were completed in 1993 (Henderson & Musil 1984; Henderson 1989, 1991a,b, 1992, 1998a). T...

He received his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Toronto. He then interned in the City and County Hospital in his home town of St. Paul, and in 1907 went to work as an assistant with the founders of the recently formed Mayo Clinic, William James ...

Whenever a spatially inhomogeneous electrolyte, composed of ions with different mobilities, is allowed to diffuse, charge separation and an electric potential difference is created. Such potential differences across very thin membranes (e.g. biomembranes) are often interpreted using the steady state Goldman equation, which is usually derived by assuming a spatially constant electric field. Thro...

This paper examines the retail skills of people who operated prior to 1900 without a fixed retail premises. The majority of research into retailing has focused on the retail outlet, and the traders who operate outside of it are under researched. It has been generally assumed that these traders, who operated on the margins of society have little skill, given their general low levels of education...
