We propose a new computational model for the study of massive data processing. Our measures complexity reading input in terms their very large size N and analyzes cost parameter k that characterizes power provided by limited local computing resources. develop algorithmic techniques solving well-known problems on model. In particular, randomized algorithms running time O(N+g1(k)) space O(k2), wi...

The Federal Government of Nigeria has long recognised the need for a wide ranging and objective assessment of livestock populations and systems covering the whole country. The problem has been how this might best be achieved. In the past, official livestock population figures have been derived indirectly from administrative records, such as vaccination returns and jangali tax payments, slaughte...
