La femme fait la maison: The Accumulation of Surplus Value through Family Planning in Burkina Faso1
Antipode, EarlyView.Abstract Since the 1960s, demographers, international donors, and governments have calculated the political, economic, and social benefits of modern contraception usage in West Africa. We evidence how family planning technologies (FPTs) that are tethered to population development extract double value (productive and reproductive labour) from Burkinabè ...

Spectra of Orders for k-Regular Graphs of Girth g
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2021 A (k, g)-graph is a k-regular graph of girth g. Given k ≥ 2 and g ≥ 3, infinitely many (k, g)-graphs of infinitely many orders are known to exist. Our goal, for given k and g, is the classification of all orders n for which a (k, g)-graph of order n ...

On the diversity of test instances for studying branch‐and‐bound performance
Australian &New Zealand Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Summary In their paper ‘An Automatic Method for Solving Discrete Programming Problems’, Ailsa Land and Alison Doig developed a branch‐and‐bound method for solving the general case of the mixed integer linear programming (MIP) problem. A core part of the algorithm, branch variable selection, has received renewed attention in recent years with the ...

Independent sets and cuts in large-girth regular graphs [PDF]
, 2016 We present a local algorithm producing an independent set of expected size $0.44533n$ on large-girth 3-regular graphs and $0.40407n$ on large-girth 4-regular graphs.

Closing the air gap: the use of drones for studying wildlife ecophysiology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Techniques for non‐invasive sampling of ecophysiological data in wild animals have been developed in response to challenges associated with studying captive animals or using invasive methods. Of these, drones, also known as Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and their associated sensors, have emerged as a promising tool in the ecophysiology ...

The Relationship Between Stature and Live Weight of Dairy Cows Between Birth and Maturity
RuminantsLactational and reproductive performance are strongly associated with cow live weight and capacity. However, there are limited data published describing capacity (thoracic) growth and the prediction of final stature and capacity from measurements at ...

3-regular matchstick graphs with given girth [PDF]
S. Kurz and G. Mazzuoccolo: 3-regular matchstick graphs with given
girth, Geombinatorics Quarterly Vol. XIX, Nr. 4 (2009), Pages 156-173, 2014 We consider 3-regular planar matchstick graphs, i.e. those which have a planar embedding such that all edge lengths are equal, with given girth g. For girth 3 it is known that such graphs exist if and only if the number of vertices n is an even integer larger or equal to 8. Here we prove that such graphs exist for girth g=4 if and only if n is even and

Non-Hamiltonian 3-Regular Graphs with Arbitrary Girth [PDF]
Universal Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2(1):72-78, 2014, 2019 It is well known that 3--regular graphs with arbitrarily large girth exist. Three constructions are given that use the former to produce non-Hamiltonian 3--regular graphs without reducing the girth, thereby proving that such graphs with arbitrarily large girth also exist.

Quantification of Lateralized Overgrowth and Genotype‐Driven Tissue Composition
Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.Lateralized overgrowth involves asymmetric body growth across conditions. TB‐DXA accurately identifies and quantifies tissue overgrowth, showing varied patterns among conditions and improving diagnosis. ABSTRACT Lateralized overgrowth (LO) is characterized by excessive growth of one side of the body compared to the other.
