Herbert Wulf (ed.): Still Under Construction: Regional Organisationsʹ Capacities for Conflict Prevention. Institute for Development and Peace, University of Duisburg‐Essen (INEF‐ Report, 97/2009). The international community has progressively tasked regional and sub‐regional organisations with conflict prevention and peacekeeping. This is largely due to an overburdened UN system. At th...

Safety is the most important part of any kind assiduity safety. In extreme circumstances, safety-related negligence could result in destruction expensive clothing or loss human life. Every min-ing diligence adhere to a few basic preventative measures order avoid generally unwelcome wonders. The component at this time communication continuously monitor various pa-rameters and take appropriate ac...

This paper presents a review of the research focusing on the study of coordination and motor competence in the adolescent stage. The purpose of this article was to provide an insight into the different dimensions of adolescent motor development in the influence of the evolution of motor co-ordination at this stage of life. The review included the most relevant studies between 2000 and 2012. Inc...

Autonomous navigation is an essential component of an indoor mobile robot. For an interactive user experience the robot should be able to understand multiple navigational tasks and perform them as optimally as possible. User may issue multiple random destinations to the robot to reach in a scenario like nding the elderly person, but to navigate randomly may result in an inef cient robot manoeuv...

Many of the most signiŽ cant events in international relations—wars, coups, revolutions, massive economic depressions, economic shocks—are rare events. They occur infrequently but are considered of great importance. In international relations, as in other disciplines, rare events—that is, binary dependent variables characterized by dozens to thousands of times fewer 1’s (events such as wars or ...

We study a setting in which a principal provides an agent with funds to operate a rm. The agent is liquidity constrained and privately observes the revenue of the rm. In other words, the agent can divert revenue to projects that bene t only him. Time is discrete and in nite, and revenues are subject to stochastic shocks that are persistent over time. As in the iid case studied by Clementi and H...

Objectives: Conditions for ex vivo gene transfer to the transplanted heart were studied in a model of syngeneic abdominal heterotopic heart transplantation in the rat. Various methods of adenoviral-mediated gene transfer to the transplanted heart were compared. Methods: In the ®rst experiment, a dose response study, an adenoviral vector encoding the b-galactosidase gene was infused into the don...

Users increasingly depend on WLAN for business and entertainment. It is well-recognized that wireless links are prone to errors. Previous work, ER, proposed to use network coding (NC) for providing more ef cient MAC-layer retransmission scheme in WLAN. However, it uses inef cient and costly reception report scheme and does not consider the effect of heterogenous and time-varying wireless condit...

Maximum likelihood estimation and likelihood ratio tests for nonlinear, non-Gaussian state-space models require numerical integration for likelihood calculations. Several methods, including Monte Carlo (MC) expectation maximization, MC likelihood ratios, direct MC integration, and particle Ž lter likelihoods, are inefŽ cient for the motivating problem of stage-structured population dynamics mod...
