In the early stage of China, due to mainland regime’s control over Zhoushan Islands, sea border Islands was in marginal position country. This caused by objective reasons, namely “objective periphery”. The abandonment county-level administrative system Tang Dynasty Yuan Chao’s uprising Wengshan a subjective marginalization status sea, that is, “subjective periphery is completely different from ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Crepidula fornicata Habitat association Larval settlement Microhabitat Post-settlement mortality Recruitment Habitat-specific distributions of marine benthic invertebrates can be caused by several processes acting prior to, during or after settlement, including differential settlement and varying levels of mortality between habitat types following adaptation of t...

to evaluate the influence of core thickness and fabrication stages on the marginal accuracy of ips e.max press crowns.twenty ips e.max press crowns, 1.5mm thick, were fabricated on metal dies. the crowns had two different core thicknesses, 0.8mm for group a and 1mm for group b, ten for each group. marginal gap was measured after each stage of core fabrication, veneering and glaze firing. the sp...

This paper investigates the marginalization of certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) in the US. This marginalization occurs despite ample evidence demonstrating that a midwifery model delivers highquality cost-effective care. Currently midwives attend only 7% of births, compared to 50–75% of births in other developed countries. Given the escalating costs of health care and relatively poor maternal an...

OF THE DISSERTATION Learning and Inference in Latent Variable Graphical Models By Wei Ping Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Irvine, 2016 Professor Alexander Ihler, Chair Probabilistic graphical models such as Markov random fields provide a powerful framework and tools for machine learning, especially for structured output learning. Latent variables naturally ex...

It is shown that for every undirected graph G over a nite set N and for every nonempty T N there exists an undirected graph G T over T, called the marginal graph of G for T, such that the class of marginal distributions for T of (discrete) G-Markovian distributions coincides with the class of G T-Markovian distributions. An example shows that this is not true within the framework of strictly po...

This paper concerns the potential of GIS in the field of disability policy. It suggests there are two distinct domains where GIS may empower disability groups. First, GIS is a method that may be used by policy analysts and researchers, to map whether public resources are accessible and appropriate given the size of catchment areas for populations and given the policy and program environment. Se...

abstractthe present paper seeks to investigate how power relations work in saedi’s an eye for an eye and how discursive formation of justice brings the conflicts of the play to resolution. foucault believes that power and knowledge create each other reciprocally. this creation happens within a domain of relationships in which discursive statements are voiced alongside and against each other. tr...

With inverse problems there are often several unknown distributed parameters of which only one may be of interest. Since assigning incorrect fixed values to the uninteresting parameters usually leads to a severely erroneous model, one is forced to estimate all distributed parameters simultaneously. This may increase the computational complexity of the problem significantly. In the Bayesian fram...
