In practical applications of pattern recognition, there are often different features extracted from raw data which needs recognizing. Methods of combining multiple classifiers with different features are viewed as a general problem in various application areas of pattern recognition. In this paper, a systematic investigation has been made and possible solutions are classified into three framewo...

Development Progress is an ODI project that aims to measure, understand and communicate where and how progress has been made in development. ODI is the UK's leading independent think tank on international development and humanitarian issues. Further ODI materials are available at odi.org.uk • Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) have a direct impact on the achievement of the Millennium Developmen...

Species accumulation and extinction both take time, and the asymmetry between the two processes has long been recognized (Darwin 1859). Darwin argued that complete extinction would take longer than species accumulation, except in the case of catastrophic mass extinctions. “There is reason to believe that the complete extinction of the species of a group is generally a slower process than their ...

Theoretically there are two approaches to predict single spin azimuthal asymmetries. One is to take transverse momenta of partons into account by using transverse momentum dependent parton distributions, while another is to take asymmetries as a twist-3 effect. The nonperturbative effects in these approaches are parameterized with different matrix elements and predictions can be different. Rece...

wrongs, one will not see this asymmetry, which is the mistake 304. Id. at 242. 305. One might think that victims, if anyone, have a right to ensure that their wrongdoer is punished. But see infra Part IV.C. 306. See Epps, supra note 15, at 1142 & n.370; Reiman & van den Haag, supra note 21, at 242–43. 307. See Christopher, supra note 299, at 913 (suggesting that retributivism should settle on a...

CP-nonconserving effects in the reaction p¯ p → t ¯ b + X → W + b ¯ b + X, driven by the supersymmetric CP-odd phase of the stop trilinear soft breaking term, arg(A t), are studied. We discuss the CP-nonconserving effects in both production and the associated decay amplitudes of the top. We find that, within a plausible low energy scenario of the MSSM and keeping the neutron electric dipole mom...
