Monica Fisher Rural Poverty Research Center, Oregon State University, 221 Ballard Hall, Corvallis, OR 97331; [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the role forests play in alleviating poverty in rural Malawi. Data from three villages in southern Malawi indicate high levels of forest dependence. Gini decomposition shows that access to forest income reduced measured income inequal...

ion in planning is typically viewed in terms of decompositional abstraction as used in NOAH-like planners [Sacerdoti 19771. In these planners, action A is an abstraction of actions B,C,D if the latter actions are each steps in the performance of action A. This type of abstraction is thus orthogonal to inheritance abstraction presented here. ABSTRIPS [Sacerdoti 19741, although using different te...

Traditional herbal cures and remedies have played an important historical role in the treatment of a variety of illnesses and diseases in Northern Ireland for the last three hundred years. Recently, these have been reviewed in the publication by Linda Ballard from the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum at Cultra, Co. Down, which details the variety of local plants used and for what purpose. From ...

There has been a great deal of research that attempts to explain the structure of biological receptive fields in terms of various methods for adapting basis vectors based on the statistical structure of visual input. These include principal components analysis (Hancock et al., 1992), independent components analysis (Bell & Sejnowski, 1997), non-negative matrix factorization (Lee & Seung, 1999),...

IN the following pages the author has attempted to review briefly the main contributions pertinent to an understanding of the avian lung and airsac system. Supplementing this review is a description of a method for casting the system using Woods Alloy. Casts were made of the lungs and air sacs of the Domesticated Pigeon (Columba livia). This bird was chosen because considerable work had already...

In this paper we consider the Reibman and Ballard algorithm for two-agent search problems and its special relevance for dealing with imperfect players. We describe it and study its weaknesses, namely the problem of pre-determining the strength of the opponent. To deal with this, we present an extension of the algorithm that dynamically adapts its play according to the skills shown by the oppone...
