This paper presents three new systematic approaches for computing coefficient matrices of the Heffron-Phillips multi-machine model (K1, …, K6). The amount of computations needed for conventional and three new approaches are compared by counting number of multiplications and divisions. The advantages of new approaches are: (1) their computation burdens are less than 73 percent of that of convent...

There are n graduate students and n faculty members. Each student will be assigned a scholarship by the joint faculty. The socially optimal outcome is tbat the best studcnt should get the most prestigious scholarship, the second-best student should get the second most prcstigious scholarship, and so on. The socially optimal outcome is common knowledge among all faculty members. Each professor w...

From 1876 to 1879 and from 1896 to 1902 due to absence of monsoons related to El Nino events, India experienced the two worst famines of all times. Karl Polanyi explained the millions of fatalities as a consequence of the introduction of market prices by British colonial institutions, in areas where traditional agricultural societies had kept significant stocks in rainy seasons in order to comp...

The main driver for the large research effort devoted to developing and improving seasonal climate prediction models is the fact that El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events (quasiperiodic fluctuations in Indo-Pacific Ocean sea surface temperatures and mean sea level pressure) represent, on a global scale, the greatest source of interannual climate variability and are, to some extent, predic...

This paper uses the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) method to make time–frequency diagnostic analyses of four monthly time series of the global precipitation: MERG (1900– 2008), REOF (1900–2008), GPCP (1979–2009), and CMAP (1979–2009). All these data are the global land and ocean average of precipitation anomalies with respect to the mean of the entire data period. The MERG and REOF are spectral ...

Seven models, available commercially for the self-measurement of blood pressure, were subjected to a validation procedure in which three devices of each model were tested by observers who were trained to a high standard of accuracy. The models were the Omron HEM-400C, the Philips HP5308, the Healthcheck 'Cuffless' CX-5 060020, the Nissei Analogue Monitor, the Philips HP5306/B, the Systema Dr MI...
