Since Henry Bergh organized the first American Society for the Prevention of Cruel­ ty to Animals in 1866, there have been na­ tionwide efforts to curb cruelty to ani­ mals. [ll The "Humane Society" and the "Band of Mercy" have joined this crusade, along with numerous other groups aimed toward sane specific act of cruelty. [2] Groups which indirectly advocate kindne~s to animal life are the Veg...

Associate Professor of Geomorphology, Department of Geography, California State University, Northridge. Abstract: Dividing exogenic processes into constituents enables one to distinguish between denudational and depositional environments. This distinction leads to the recognition that the chaparral assemblage occupies a zone which is predominantly denudational. A qualitative assessment of sane ...

Inmost applications of neuro-evolution, each individual in the population represents a complete neural network. Recent work on the SANE system, however, has demonstrated that evolving individual neurons often produces a more efcient genetic search. This paper demonstrates that while SANE can solve easy tasks very quickly, it often stalls in larger problems. A hierarchical approach to neuro-evol...

Abstract We evolve two high-resolution general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of advection-dominated accretion flows around nonspinning black holes (BHs), each over a duration ?3 × 10 5 GM BH / c 3 . One model captures the evolution weakly magnetized (SANE) disk and other that magnetically arrested (MAD). Magnetic flux eruptions in MAD push out gas from launch strong winds with ou...

Introduction: Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE), who are trained to provide comprehensive and compassionate specialty care sexual assault survivors, increasingly used in the emergency department (ED), but there is little published literature support their benefit. In this study we aimed compare services offered received by survivors ED when was provided a SANE vs those with traditional teams...

Enterprise networks are often large, run a wide variety of applications and protocols, and operate under strict reliability constraints; thus, they represent a challenging environment for security management. Security policies in todays enterprise are typ­ ically enforced by regulating connectivity with a combination of complex routing and bridging policies along with various interdiction mecha...

The SANE Virtual Processor (SVP) is a fine-grain, threadbased model of concurrent program composition developed and used at the University of Amsterdam as a basis for designing and programming many-core chips. Its design goal was to support dynamic concurrency and hence support self-adaptive systems within the AETHER collaborative European project. It provides an effective solution for programm...

What sort of person chooses to remain in a place like Rwanda when an easy exit is offered, when leaving seems the only safe or sane option, and when one is not directly connected to the would-be victims? And how does this person come to develop a circle of care that is expansive enough to include those who are radically Other? In what follows, I consider these questions through a detailed exami...
