Geometric duality theory for multiple objective linear programmes is used to derive a dual variant of Benson’s outer approximation algorithm to solve multiobjective linear programmes in objective space. We also suggest some improvements of the original version of the algorithm and prove that solving the dual provides a weight set decomposition. We compare both algorithms on small illustrative a...

Internationally, there is wide cross-country heterogeneity in government responses to dual practice in the health sector. This paper provides a uniform theoretical framework to analyze and compare some of the most common regulations. We focus on three interventions: banning dual practice, offering rewarding contracts to public physicians, and limiting dual practice (including both limits to pri...

We present a new design for a dual-rail & dual-spacer latch which exhibits totally symmetrical switching behaviour, which guarantees data independent power consumption and is therefore suitable for use in secure systems. We compare the simulation results with the latest security latches.

We revisit the analysis of the drag a massive quark experiences and the wake it creates at a temperature T while moving through a plasma using a gravity dual that captures the renormalisation group runnings in the dual gauge theory. Our gravity dual has a black hole and seven branes embedded via Ouyang embedding, but the geometry is a deformation of the usual conifold metric. In particular the ...

SUMMARY Due to the increasing number of text mining resources (tools and corpora) available to biologists, interoperability issues between these resources are becoming significant obstacles to using them effectively. UIMA, the Unstructured Information Management Architecture, is an open framework designed to aid in the construction of more interoperable tools. U-Compare is built on top of the U...

Media frames represent distinct ways of communicating about issues that are reflected in choices of key words and phrases. In this paper we develop a visualization technique and visual analytic system that enables the study of media frames across text corpora. In particular our system allows scholars or other analysts to compare media frames in a visualization called the Compare Cloud, which ex...
