The document discusses Hamiltonian graphs, which are graphs that contain a Hamiltonian circuit or path. A Hamiltonian circuit visits each vertex in the graph exactly once and forms a cycle. The document provides an example of a graph that is Hamiltonian but not Eulerian, and vice versa. It notes that while it is clear only connected graphs can be Hamiltonian, there is no simple criterion to determine if a graph is Hamiltonian like there is for Eulerian graphs. It presents Dirac's sufficient condition for a graph to be Hamiltonian.

The document discusses innovation in Europe and whether the region can seize opportunities presented by the economic crisis. It addresses whether Europe will have the "muscle" in R&D spending, "brains" in developing skills in science and technology, and "guts" to take risks and make bold changes needed to drive innovation. It also notes the growing importance of local and regional levels in promoting innovation.
Briefing on OASIS XLIFF OMOS TC 20160121Jamie Clark
The briefing provided an overview of the XLIFF OMOS TC, which aims to develop an abstract object model and JSON serialization for the XLIFF 2.0 standard to improve interoperability. The TC is chaired by David Filip and has members from various organizations. It plans to deliver an object model for XLIFF 2.x, a JSON version called JLIFF 1.0, and work on a new version of TMX with an inline data model consistent with XLIFF 2.0. The TC uses a non-assertion IPR mode and invites participation from stakeholders in multilingual content and localization.

Determinants of bank's interest margin in the aftermath of the crisis: the ef...Ivie
This study analyzes the determinants of banks' net interest margins during 2008-2014, when monetary policy measures were expansionary. The authors estimate a model where net interest margin depends on factors including: short-term interest rates; the slope of the yield curve; market power; credit risk; interest rate risk; costs; and reserves. The results suggest net interest margins are positively affected by short-term rates and the yield curve slope, but the relationships are nonlinear. Credit risk also positively impacts margins, while costs, liquid reserves, and efficiency negatively affect margins.
This document discusses the licensing experiences of the SUMO Toolbox. It begins by introducing the Surrogate Modeling Lab and the toolbox. It then discusses some of the challenges with the original licensing approach, which involved fees and an activation process. The document proposes moving to a dual license model, with an open source AGPL license for non-commercial use and a custom commercial license. This is hoped to increase users, contributions and feedback while being less restrictive than the original approach. Some caveats are noted around tracking contributions and compatibility with other codes.
The document discusses mechanisms for controlling access to internet content related to space, time, speed, quality, and access. It focuses on how the audiovisual industry uses geo-IP filtering, digital rights management (DRM), content delivery networks (CDNs), and peering agreements to segment markets and protect existing business models of content versioning and repurposing. Regulation and self-regulation both play a role in controlling the distribution of content, with tools like DRM and geo-blocking supported by formal copyright laws as well as industry practices. Overall, the document examines how the industry aims to maintain national and regional control over content access online.
This document discusses matrix addition in programming. It explains that matrix addition requires the matrices to be of the same size. The code provided takes in the sizes of two matrices, inputs their elements, adds the corresponding elements, and displays the output matrix. It uses nested for loops to iterate through the matrices during input, calculation, and output stages. The program checks that the matrices are the same size before performing the addition.
This document discusses legal and regulatory issues related to information and communications technology. It covers five core research areas: the networked individual, access to and control of information, information security and trust, information transport through electronic communications, and the emerging electronic society. For each area, it provides examples of relevant legal topics and ongoing discussions around balancing privacy, security and enabling new technologies. The overall aim is to closely monitor the regulatory framework and how it relates to technical research at IBBT.
Critical mission support achieved through custom procurement solutionsRutger Gassner
This document discusses how custom procurement programs can help streamline complex purchasing processes for the Department of Defense. It addresses how payment programs capture more transaction details to provide better spending oversight while also generating significant cost savings over traditional paper-based processes. The document advocates for custom programs that use private, closed-loop networks to ensure contract compliance and accommodate specialized purchasing needs that open-loop networks cannot meet.
