When animals are transported and pass through customs, some of them may have dangerous infectious diseases. Typically, due to the cost of testing, not all animals are tested: a reasonable selection must be made. How to test effectively, yet avoid cataclysmic events? First, we extend a model proposed in the literature for the detection of invasive species to suit our purpose. Secondly, we explor...

In draft-kempf-netlmm-nohost-ps, the problems with using global IP mobility management protocols for local mobility and some problems with existing localized mobility management protocols are described. In this document, we explore requirements for localized mobility management in more detail. An extensive gap analysis against the protocols illustrates where existing protocols are able to fulfi...

Content Based image Retrieval (CBIR) system is one of the prominent area of study identified with wide area of applications in recognition system. The main purpose of the study is to review and analyze all the prime works in CBIR system, its efficiency in recognition rate and understand the types of challenges focused by prior research work in this area. The prime outcome of the result in this ...

9 Abstract. More than a century of research shows that increasing the gap between study episodes using the same material can enhance retention, 10 yet little is known about how this so-called distributed practice effect unfolds over nontrivial periods. In two three-session laboratory studies, we 11 examined the effects of gap on retention of foreign vocabulary, facts, and names of visual object...

Cropping systems models have evolved over the last four decades in response to the demand for modeling to address more complex questions, including issues on sustainable production, climate change, and environmental impacts. Early models, which were used primarily for yield gap analysis, have increased in complexity to include not only nutrient and water deficiencies, but also pest and disease ...

Laurent & Poljak introduced a class of valid inequalities for the max-cut problem, called gap inequalities, which include many other known inequalities as special cases. The gap inequalities have received little attention and are poorly understood. This paper presents the first ever computational results. In particular, we start presenting a cuttingplane scheme based on an effective heuristic s...

The Gender Wage Gap in Four Countries In a series of studies written during the 1980s Bob Gregory and his co-authors compared the gender wage gap in Australia with that found in other countries. They found it was not the difference in human capital endowments that explained different gender wage gaps but rather the rewards for these endowments. They concluded that country-specific factors, espe...

150-200 words) In this paper we present a case study and selected results from a research on digital preservation amongst digital libraries in Europe. We propose a framework for gap analysis in digital preservation encompassing the diffusion of preservation practices and the life-cycle of data. We also present a Gap Analysis Tool that we developed to support visual analysis of gaps in the imple...

An excess of events with a rapidity gap between jets, over what would be expected from non-diffractive processes, has been observed at HERA. A process based on a perturbative QCD calculation of colour singlet exchange has been added to HERWIG. With this addition, HERWIG is able to describe the number of events with a gap between jets over the number without a gap. This gap fraction is predicted...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to produce the findings of a research project seeking to develop and validate a model for measuring supply chain performance of organized garment retailing in India. Design/methodology/approach – The paper draws its conclusions from an analysis of survey data from samples of Indian organized garment retailing practitioners and consultants. The pre-pilot an...
