~| y electing Democrat Harris Wofford B to the Senate over former Attorney General Richard T h o r n b u r g h in November 1991, the voters of Pennsylvania proved that healthcare reform is a politically salient issue. Policy analysts, amazed that Wofford's healthcare reform message was a key factor in his election, have debated during the past few months whether this was a fluke or the precurso...

ions that enables one to more expressively represent failure scenarios by considering failures that are not independent or not identically distributed; 4) although it allows for faulty processes to be elected, correct processes are able to detect it, enabling the use of alarms to indicate failures in the system. Relating to our discussion on Primary-Backup protocols, by assuming that faulty pro...

One of the fundamental challenges of recognizing actions is accounting for the variability that arises when arbitrary cameras capture humans performing actions. In this paper, we explicitly identify three important sources of variability: (1) viewpoint, (2) execution rate, and (3) anthropometry of actors, and propose a model of human actions that allows us to address all three. Our hypothesis i...

We present a self-stabilizing leader election algorithm for arbitrary networks, with spacecomplexity Opmaxtlog∆, log lognuq bits per node in n-node networks with maximum degree ∆. This space complexity is sub-logarithmic in n as long as ∆ “ n. The best space-complexity known so far for arbitrary networks was Oplog nq bits per node, and algorithms with sublogarithmic space-complexities were know...

nowadays, election is one of the important issues in all the countries that their political system is based on democracy. this study investigated the effectiveness of promotional tools on the behavior of voters in the eleventh round of iran's presidential election. in this study, media campaign tools were divided into two categories of media and non-media ones and the effect of each on the vote...
