For the random 2-SAT formula F (n, p), let FC(n, p) be the formula left after the pure literal algorithm applied to F (n, p) stops. Using the recently developed Poisson cloning model together with the cut-off line algorithm (COLA), we completely analyze the structure of FC(n, p). In particular, it is shown that, for λ := p(2n− 1) = 1 + σ with σ ≫ n−1/3, the core of F (n, p) has θ2 λ n+O((θ λ n)...

Andersson, M. (2009). Social influence in stock markets. Department of Psychology, University of Gothenburg, Sweden Influences by others when making investments and predictions in stock markets, referred to as herding, is a widely discussed phenomenon in financial economics. This thesis aims to understand herding by applying theories of social influence. In a series of studies employing a multi...

The goal of this experiment was to investigating of effects of different levels of nano chromium (N-Cr) in diet on egg quality and blood chromium content of japanese quail. Two hundred and forty laying japanese quail (45 day old) were randomly distributed to 20 experimental unit with 12 birds in cage pens of 40 × 80 cm. Experimental treatments include: 1) control national research council (NRC,...

We present networks of bounded degree and a fully polynomial almost everywhere agreement scheme which tolerate, with high probability, randomly located faulty processors, where processors fail independently with some constant probability.

Background and Objectives There are several different commercially available virtual-reality robotic simulators, but very little comparative data. We compared the face and content validity of 3 robotic surgery simulators and their pricing and availability. Methods Fifteen participants completed one task on each of the following: dV-Trainer (dVT; Mimic Technologies, Inc., Seattle, Washington, ...
