Table3 gives the results of the ts for di erent values of M and . For a spatially- at cosmological model with M = 0:28 as measured by the SCP (Perlmutter et al.... In PAGE 10: ... As before, we perform maximum likelihood ts for a choice of cosmological models. The results are reported in Table3 . As expected, the evolution parameter , depends strongly on the assumed cosmology.... ..."

"... In PAGE 14: ... Galaxy luminosity The CFRS galaxy counts are based on data that are well-matched to our survey in magnitude and redshift range, and only minimal extrapolation was required to convert from the I to R band. The associated uncertainty should be small and this is supported by the calculation based on using the observed LFs as discussed in Section 5 ( Table4 ). The di erence in the two calculations serves as our estimate of the systematic uncertainty here and this amounts to 0:05 h2 SNu.... ..."

"... In PAGE 11: ...hereas Tucker et al. (2000) used an Einstein-de Sitter universe. The catalogue resulting from the EXT-FOF application con- tains 1285 groups, with a total of 6337 galaxies. Table2 shows the statistics of the comparison between the FOF and EXT-FOF structures in the case of the LCRS. The same object-to-object comparison is used as described in Section (3.... ..."

"... In PAGE 23: ... Figure 8 shows estimates after thresholding with Daubechies and Geronimo wavelets. Table5 compares the universal threshold with the ideal threshold, the ideal threshold being the value which gives the smallest MSE with the number of levels to be thresholded xed. The MSE for the universal threshold with the Geronimo multiwavelets is very similar to the MSE for the ideal threshold despite the threshold values being reasonably di erent.... ..."

For more than three quarters of the enterprises owned to some extent by the state, there is information on the number of workers who are redundant according to their current directors. Table1 compares the enterprise database with the enterprise universe of Vietnam. For the private sector, the universe considered in the table includes all enterprises registered under any of the three legal forms existing in Vietnam: private companies, limited-liability companies,...

This is especially true for the private sector, with the average personnel in the database being 529, compared to 19 in the universe.... ..."

The current private operators of online universities enroll less than 5 percent of all students in postsecondary distance education, although this number is growing rapidly[23] Perhaps the most successful-and one of the most controversial-of the new virtual institutions is the University of Phoenix Online ( Table4 ).

In PAGE 42: ... quot;[33] At a June 1995 meeting of the Western Governors Association, policymakers discussed the issue of population growth in the West and the potential for rapidly expanding enrollment at regional colleges and universities. In response, the governors created the Western Governors University ( Table4 ), one of the most highly publicized virtual universities created in the past few years. Organized as a joint project of 19 western states and Guam, WGU is a privately owned university that offers courses from a range of outside academic institutions and corporations.... In PAGE 42: ...[35] In September 2000, the state of Utah released an audit that criticized WGU for its low enrollment numbers, for withholding information from auditors, and for overcharging students for degree programs in comparison with other regional colleges and universities.[36] Capella University ( Table4 ), based in Minneapolis, is a private, virtual university geared toward adult professionals. Founded in 1993 by CEO Steve Shank, Capella has instituted faculty and student policies that are more in line with existing brickand-mortar institutions.... ..."
