The widespread prohibition of most recreational narcotics fuels a difficult and long-standing debate that challenges the libertarian ideals of many Western states. The issue calls to question the extent of government involvement in the lives of its constituency, weighed against the very individual freedoms of these people. Though absolute ideals about freedom help to direct policy goals, implem...

People tend to behave inconsistently over time due to an inherent present bias. As this may impair performance, social and economic settings need to be adapted accordingly. Common tools to reduce the impact of time-inconsistent behavior are penalties and prohibition. Such tools are called commitment devices. In recent work Kleinberg and Oren [5] connect the design of a prohibition-based commitm...

Small polymeric nanoparticles sized below 10 nm were effectively synthesized via free radical polymerization of a cross-linker in a glassy polymer matrix, owing to the successful prohibition of aggregation between the primary nanoparticles by the matrix.

—In this work, an analytical coverage probability framework is derived for all the User Equipment (UE) types in a Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR)-aided heterogeneous network leveraging tools of stochastic geometry. This framework is used to determine the minimum distance for edge femtocells to safely reuse same spectrum resources utilized by center macro users (MUEs) for successful signal tra...

ÐNew heuristic algorithms are proposed for the Graph Partitioning problem. A greedy construction scheme with an appropriate tie-breaking rule (MIN-MAX-GREEDY) produces initial assignments in a very fast time. For some classes of graphs, independent repetitions of MIN-MAX-GREEDY are sufficient to reproduce solutions found by more complex techniques. When the method is not competitive, the initia...

Harmony is one of three major elements in the music. Harmonics are the basic theory of composition. There are several kinds of prohibitions in relation to the chord progression in the rules of Harmonics. When composers compose music pieces, they pay attention not to contain these prohibitions. The prohibitions are empiricallydefined with giving the musical expressions to melody processes by try...
