Consider a set P of points in the plane sorted by x-coordinate. A point p in P is said to be a proximate point if there exists a point q on the x-axis such that p is the closest point to q over all points in P. The proximate point problem is to determine all the proximate points in P. Our main contribution is to propose optimal parallel algorithms for solving instances of size n of the proximat...

Strong reciprocity (SR) has recently been subject to heated debate. In this debate, the "West camp" (West et al. in Evol Hum Behav 32(4):231-262, 2011), which is critical of the case for SR, and the "Laland camp" (Laland et al. in Science, 334(6062):1512-1516, 2011, Biol Philos 28(5):719-745, 2013), which is sympathetic to the case of SR, seem to take diametrically opposed positions. The West c...

In this paper we introduce the notion of $L^{* }$-proximate order of meromorphic function and prove its existence.

The opportunity cost model offers an ultimate explanation of ego depletion that helps to move the field beyond biologically improbable resource accounts. The model's more proximate explanation, however, falls short of accounting for much data and is based on an outdated view of human rationality. We suggest that our own process model offers a better proximate account of self-control fatigue.

This piece of work was directed towards the study of the proximate chemical composition to compare the effect of the different salt concentrations on the nutritive value of fish. In both fresh fish and fassiek (salted fish). Proximate analysis targeted the determination of moisture%, protein%, ash%, fat and pH.

Introduction: Fertility transition is outright by prime four proximate determinants (marriage, contraception, postpartum infecundability, and abortion). The present study examines the contributions of proximate determinants on fertility decline and quantifies inhibiting the effect of major proximate determinants according to the socioeconomic characteristics in Bangladesh.<br /...

IN selecting a subject for the present discourse, I have been more influenced by attachment to certain early opinions, than by confidence of abili ty to defend them. Such is the diversity of symptoms, and so varied are the conditions of the system, under which fever is acknowledged to exist, that no definition has yet been settled to which some objection might not be offered. Still less stable ...

quality grading and nutrition value determination of fish are. nowadays necessary for aquatic processing. the present study was conducted to investigate a new, applied and cheap method of fillet quality grading for common carp (cyprinus carpio) using fish size, based on mathematical equations. for this reason, 61 specimens of cultured market size carp were used and after filleting, their moistu...

watermelon seed full-fat (wmsf) and watermelon seed meal (wmsm) samples were analyzed for proximate composition and then incorporated in broiler chicks diets at increasing levels up to 20%. feeding increasing levels of wmsf to broiler chicks for up to 20% increased weight gain (p
