The task of the police officer investigating a crime, or of the forensic anthropologist working with human remains, is to establish an identity of a criminal or of a victim. This often involves working with images of faces – building a composite image from the memory of a witness to the crime, seeking CCTV images of the person or persons who might have committed the crime, or building a model o...

T. D. Kieu has claimed that a quantum computing procedure can solve a classically unsolvable problem. Recent work of W. D. Smith has shown that Kieu’s central mathematical claim cannot be sustained. Here, a more general critique is given of Kieu’s proposal and some suggestions are made regarding the Church-Turing thesis. 0. Introduction: In 2001 the physicist Tien D. Kieu announced that a quant...

The euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus inhabits brackish water estuaries and salt marshes along the eastern coast of North America. These habitats undergo routine fluctuations in salinity, so killifish in their natural environment must dynamically regulate ion balance. This species is known for its exceptional euryhalinity, as it can tolerate salinities ranging from freshwater to nearly...

insurance companies are important economic institutions in each country and support other economic institutions and good performance of them has an effective role in economic boom. insurance companies to achieve strong and effective performance must be aware of the environment, the competitor and their performance and carry out necessary actions with regard to this information. in this study, t...

This paper sets out a theory of how openness to international goods markets affects pollution concentrations. We develop a theoretical model to divide trade's impact on pollution into scale, technique and composition effects and then examine this theory using data on sulfur dioxide concentrations from the Global Environment Monitoring Project. We find international trade creates relatively smal...

To increase the Internet's reliability and to have greater control over traffic transmission, reliable path selection is important and Multipath routing is promising technique that are used in the communication networks. Finding reliable end-end paths and backup can increase network performance. So, using proper decision metrics and algorithm should be used to paths and backup selection phase i...
