the present article deals with the inter specific competition and intra-specific competition among predator populations of a prey-dependent three component food chain model consisting of two competitive predator sharing one prey species as their food. the behaviour of the system near the biologically feasible equilibria is thoroughly analyzed. boundedness and dissipativeness of the system are e...

Confidentiality is an important requirement that restricts information sharing between multiple providers in inter-domain routing and, more generally, in any Multi-Provider Distributed System (MPDS). However, sharing such confidential information can make these systems more robust by enabling the verification of global system invariants. For instance, undesirable interaction between intra-domai...

In this paper we consider the problem of constructing confidence intervals and lower bounds for the intraclass correlation coefficient in an interrater reliability study where the raters are randomly selected from a population of raters.The likelihood function of the interrater reliability is derived and simplified, and the profile likelihood based approach is readily available for computing th...

In recent years, the number of organizations connected to thie Internet has grown, resulting in an increasingly diverse set of connected users. As a result, network managers have growing concerns about the security and control of network resources. This concern has led protocol engineers to design routing protocols, such as Inter-Domain Policy Routing (IDPR), that include policy restrictions. T...
