Distributivity and Varlet Distributivity

2020
In this note we study the relationships between three properties of residuated (meet) semilattices, i.e.: (1) being divisible, (2) being distributive (3) being v-distributive.

Network reconfiguration in distribution systems for loss reduction and load balancing

, 1989
A general formulation of the feeder reconfiguration problem for loss reduction and load balancing is given, and a novel solution method is presented. The solution uses a search over different radial configurations created by considering switchings of the

Predicting the impacts of climate change on the distribution of species: are bioclimate envelope models useful?

, 2003
Modelling strategies for predicting the potential impacts of climate change on the natural distribution of species have often focused on the characterization of a species’ bioclimate envelope.

Distributive Justice, Distributed Duties

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
Collectivities can have obligations beyond the aggregate of pre-existing obligations of their members. Certain such collective obligations distribute, i.e., become members’ obligations to do their fair share. In incremental good cases, i.e., those in which a member’s fair share would go part way toward fulfilling the collectivity’s obligation, each ...

AUC: a misleading measure of the performance of predictive distribution models

, 2008
The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, known as the AUC, is currently considered to be the standard method to assess the accuracy of predictive distribution models. It avoids the supposed subjectivity in the threshold selection

Status and distribution of mangrove forests of the world using earth observation satellite data

, 2011
Aim Our scientific understanding of the extent and distribution of mangrove forests of the world is inadequate. The available global mangrove databases, compiled using disparate geospatial data sources and national statistics, need to be improved.Here,we

Isotopic Distributions

2013
Isotopic information determined by mass spectrometry can be used in a wide variety of applications. Broadly speaking these could be classified as "passive" applications, meaning that they use naturally occurring isotopic information, and "active" applications, meaning that the isotopic distributions are manipulated in some way.

On the Distribution of a Key Distribution Center

2001
A Key Distribution Center of a network is a server who generates and distributes secret keys used by groups of users to securely communicate. A Distributed Key Distribution Center is a set of servers that jointly realizes a Key Distribution Center. In this paper we study Distributed Key Distribution Centers, pointing out the advantages of this approach
