1. The following four books are all reviewed together by William Gasarch. Fair Division: From Cake Cutting to Dispute Resolution) , by Brams and Taylor, Cake Cutting: Be Fair if You Can by Robertson and Webb, The Win-Win Solution by Brams and Taylor, and Fair Allocation (Proceedings of Symposia in Applied Mathematics, Vol 33) Edited by H. Peyton Young. These books all deal with the problem of f...

A specially designed circular towing tan~ was developed at the Northeast Fisheries Center (NEFC) for calibrating plankton-net flowmeters . ashore in order to provide more accurate volume estimates and to save valuable shipboard time. Results of a cross-calibration experiment with a flume in use at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) demonstrated that calibration factors produced by ...

V porovnaní so sekvenčnými výpočtami sú výpočty využívajúce paralelizmus výrazne zložitejšie. Z teoretického pohl’adu je vel’mi prirodzeným modelom paralelných výpočtov model PRAM, ktorý je analógiou modelu RAM často používaného v teórii zložitosti. Z praktického pohl’adu je však zaručenie úplnej synchronizácie a uniformného prístupu k zdiel’anej pamäti, garantovaných modelom PRAM, značne probl...

Hysteresis patterns of different sediment particle sizes were studied via a detailed laboratory study and modelling. Seven continuous rainfall events with stepwisevarying rainfall intensities (15, 30, 45, 60, 45, 30 and 15 mmh-1, each 20 min duration) were conducted using a 5-m× 2-m erosion flume. Flow rates and sediment concentration data were measured using flume discharge samples, and interp...

We prove that for any constant k and any < 1, there exist bimatrix win-lose games for which every -WSNE requires supports of cardinality greater than k. To do this, we provide a graphtheoretic characterization of win-lose games that possess -WSNE with constant cardinality supports. We then apply a result in additive number theory of Haight [8] to construct win-lose games that do not satisfy the...

Increased construction activity and associated receiving water concerns in the Greater Toronto Area has prompted this study to advance our knowledge on cohesive sediment transport processes in rivers and lake environments. Flow characteristics in a rotating circular flume at the National Water Research Institute (NWRI), Burlington, Ontario were studied using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD)...
