This paper investigates some major changes in the wealth distribution in China using the data from two national household surveys conducted in 1995 and 2002. The surveys collected rich information on household wealth and its components, enabling a detailed analysis of changes in wealth distribution among Chinese households. Our analysis indicates that the wealth distribution in China as a whole...

Lighthouse Youth Services in Cincinnati, Ohio, began placing foster youth, ages sixteen to eighteen, in individual apartments and other living arrangements in 1981 as a way of preparing them for life after foster care. The program has assisted over thirteen hundred youth and their children using scattered-site apartments, shared homes, roommate situations, host homes, and subsidized housing. Th...

This paper presents a hierarchical case representation using a context guided retrieval method. The performance of this method is compared to that of a simpler flat file representation using standard nearest neighbour retrieval. The estimation of construction costs of light industrial buildings is used as the test domain. Each case in the system has approximately 400 features. These are structu...

A paramount question faced by technology innovators is whether to license an innovation to other firms, and if so, what type of license it should use. Information technology innovations often have the unique feature of leading to new products and services that exhibit network effects. This paper addresses the question whether the presence of network effects changes an innovator’ licensing choic...

This document describes a file format for the storage of flow data based upon the IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) protocol. It proposes a set of requirements for flat-file, binary flow data file formats, then specifies the IPFIX File format to meet these requirements based upon IPFIX Messages. This IPFIX File format is designed to facilitate interoperability and reusability among a wide vari...

This paper concerns a goal directed proof procedure for the propositional fragment of the adaptive logic ACLuN1. The procedure forms an algorithm for final derivability and may easily be generalized for the propositional fragment of all flat adaptive logics. The aim is to articulate a procedure that, if extended to the predicative level, provides criteria for
