Annual draft systems are the principal method used by teams in major sporting leagues to recruit amateur players. These draft systems frequently take one of three forms: a lottery style draft, a weighted draft, or a reverse-order draft. Reverse-order drafts can create incentives for teams to deliberately under-perform, or tank, due to the perceived gain from obtaining quality players at higher ...

This document contains a comparison of two BGP yang models: draftzhdankin-netmod-bgp-cfg-01 and draft-wang-i2rs-bgp-dm. The yang model in draft-zhdankin-netmod-bgp-cfg-01 is a model focused on configuration. The yang model in draft-wang-i2rs-bgp-dm-00 is focused on the status and ephemeral state changes needed for the I2RS interface. The conclusion of comparison is that there little overlap exc...

Escherichia coli is suspected to be involved with Crohn's disease. Adherence and invasion to epithelial cells are properties commonly observed in these bacteria. Here, we present a draft genome sequence of E. coli D92/09, a multidrug-resistant strain, which besides showing these properties produces Shiga cytotoxin-1 and possibly other toxins.

We introduce a new variant of the Traveling Salesman Problem inspired from applications within maritime transportation. The problem is to find a minimum cost tour of a set of ports, but includes draft limitation of some ports. This problem is henceforth referred to as the Traveling Salesman Problem with Draft Limits (TSPDL) and is an important subproblem in complex routing problems in maritime ...

The draft genome of an uncultivated bacterium affiliated with the Peptococcaceae was reconstructed by co-assembling Illumina MiSeq sequences from three single cells sorted by microfluidics from two methanogenic alkane-degrading cultures. Peptococcaceae SCADC (short-chain alkane-degrading culture) may be genetically capable of anaerobic alkane activation by fumarate addition in the absence of su...
