We provide a simple set of sufficient conditions for the weak convergence of discrete Galton-Watson branching processes with immigration to continuous time and continuous state branching processes with immigration. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 60J80

Positivity, or the experimental treatment assignment assumption, requires that there be both exposed and unexposed participants at every combination of the values of the observed confounders in the population under study. Positivity is essential for inference but is often overlooked in practice by epidemiologists. This issue of the Journal includes 2 articles featuring discussions related to po...

Concerning the solution theory for set games, the paper focuses on a family of solutions, each of which allocates to any player some type of marginalistic contribution with respect to any coalition containing the player. Here the marginalistic contribution may be interpreted as an individual one, or a coalitionally one. For any value of the relevant family, an axiomatization is given by three p...

We describe an investigation into feature representations for rigid structure recognition framework for recognition of objects with a multitude of classes. The intended application is automatic recognition of vehicle type for secure access and traffic monitoring applications, a problem not hitherto considered at such a level of accuracy. We demonstrate that a relatively simple set of features e...

Status of this Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet-standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the third version of the Internet-Standard Management Framework, termed the SNMP version 3 Framework (SNMPv3). This Framework is derived from and builds upon...

In Diagonally Non-Computable Functions and Bi-Immunity [2], Carl Jockusch and Andrew Lewis-Pye proved that every DNC function computes a bi-immune set. They asked whether every DNC function computes an effectively bi-immune set. We construct a DNC function that computes no effectively bi-immune set, thereby answering their question in the negative.

Cadastral reinstatement is the process whereby a cadastral surveyor re-establishes and describes the position of boundaries created by earlier actions. Previous boundary reinstatement cases are examined and the principles on which the courts made their decisions are identified. These principles are synthesised into a simple set of guidelines that may be applied by cadastral surveyors to practic...

This document describes the User-based Security Model (USM) for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3 for use in the SNMP architecture. It defines the Elements of Procedure for providing SNMP message level security. This document also includes a Management Information Base (MIB) for remotely monitoring/managing the configuration parameters for this Security Model. This document ob...

Well, someone can decide by themselves what they want to do and need to do but sometimes, that kind of person will need some developing a current awareness service using really simple syndication rss brief communications references. People with open minded will always try to seek for the new things and information from many sources. On the contrary, people with closed mind will always think tha...
