standard deviation, mostly due to large gains experienced by children at the bottom of the test-score distribution. A computer-assisted learning program focusing on math increased math scores by 0.47 standard deviation. One year after the programs were over initial gains remained significant for targeted

Capital, Networks, Syndication, Investment Performance JEL classification: G24, L14. Networks are widespread in many financial markets. Bulge-bracket investment banks, for instance, have strong relationships with institutional investors which they make use of when pricing and distributing corporate

for the ongoing UK National Health Service procurement exercise. Cassandra policies are expressed in a language based on Datalog with constraints. The expressiveness of the language (and its computational complexity) can be tuned by choosing an appropriate constraint domain. Cassandra is role-based; it supports

engineering. It replaces/subsumes the technological paradigm of the Industrial Age, organized primarily around the production and distribution of energy. In this article I aim at clarifying the theoretical implications that can be induced from my observation of contemporary social structures and social change

methodology for solving particular distributed control problems, but also as a generic programming paradigm for the development of distributed systems based on these methods. By a programming paradigm, I mean that the exercise of defining a computational market leads to the specification of a procedural

Completed surveys were returned to the authors, and all individual responses were confidential, although summary reports were provided to leaders and organization executives. Measures Leadership.

-time probability distributions spanning the combat scenario. We hav e demonstrated proofs of principle, that battalion-level combat exercises can be well represented by the computer simulation JANUS(T), and that modern methods of nonlinear nonequilibrium statistical mechanics can well model these systems. Since

Distribution unlimited.

In distributed-interactive simulation (DIS), simulators act as elements of a bigger distributed simulation. A groupdistance exercise (GDE) based on the DIS approach can therefore enable group training for group members participating from different locations. Our GDE approach, unlike full-scale DIS

scalability (due to its distributed implementation) and decentralized administrative control, in which separate organizations control separate portions of the namespace. So why consider changing it? More to the point, why should CCR publish a paper proposing a radical redesign of the DNS? This paper proposes
