Large amount of geospatial data are now available from public and private organizations in vector data formats. Users of these geospatial data usually require the data that are gathered from different sources to be integrated and fused for knowledge discovery. A vital step for fusion of the geospatial datasets is to identify the matched features among the datasets. There have been several effor...

We introduce a novel approach to general secure multiparty computation that avoids the intensive use of verifiable secret sharing characterizing nearly all previous protocols in the literature. Instead, our scheme involves manipulation of ciphertexts for which the underlying private key is shared by participants in the computation. The benefits of this protocol include a high degree of conceptu...

Nineteen adjuvants, many used as surfactants for aquatic herbicide applications, were applied in static bioassay to bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) for 96 h to determine median lethal concentrations (LC50). Surfactants are added to the tank mix as a percentage (v/v) of the total volume, in contrast to herbicide application rates, which are usually expressed in kilograms per hectare. Two ...

countries in the Region are to improve incomes and move rapidly toward convergence with the advanced market economies. The growing and vibrant private sector in many of these countries will drive productivity enhancements, but public policies should promote these enhancements. The barriers to and the sources of productivity growth are, of course, different in each country and will require a dif...

This article addresses cost differences between primary care physicians in private practice and hospital outpatient departments (OPD's). The analysis utilizes ambulatory visit groups (AVG's), the outpatient equivalent of diagnosis-related groups (DRG's), to adjust for case mix. Major findings are that OPD's have higher per visit costs than physicians' private offices; internists are more expens...

We explore how activists’ public and private politics elicit different organizational responses. Using data on U.S. petroleum companies from 1982 to 2010, we investigate how climate change activists serving as witnesses at congressional hearings and engaging in firm protests influenced firms’ internal and external responses. We find that public politics induced internally focused practice adopt...
