Streaming Lower Bounds for Approximating MAX-CUT
, 2014 We consider the problem of estimating the value of max cut in a graph in the streaming model of computation. At one extreme, there is a trivial $2$-approximation for this problem that uses only $O(\log n)$ space, namely, count the number of edges and ...

Livestock Tango: U.S. and Latin America Dance Together, but Who Will Lead?
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the competitiveness between Latin American and U.S. livestock and meat sectors. We employ a computable general equilibrium modeling framework to evaluate two scenarios: coordinated improvements in Latin American productivity, transport efficiency, and market access (Scenario I), and the minimum productivity gains required ...

Transboundary Water Conflicts as Postcolonial Legacy (the Case of Nile Basin)
Vestnik RUDN. International Relations, 2020 It is not shortage or lack of water that leads to conflict but the way how water is governed and managed. It is said that water will be, much more than oil, the major geopolitical issue of the 21st century.

Role of pressure anisotropy on relativistic compact stars
, 2018 We investigate a compact spherically symmetric relativistic body with anisotropic particle pressure profiles. The distribution possesses characteristics relevant to modeling compact stars within the framework of general relativity.

Extensions to the Method of Multiplicities, with applications to Kakeya Sets and Mergers [PDF]
, 2009 We extend the "method of multiplicities" to get the following results, of interest in combinatorics and randomness extraction. (A) We show that every Kakeya set (a set of points that contains a line in every direction) in $\F_q^n$ must be of size at ...

Multidimensional Poverty in Sudan and South Sudan [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015 This paper assesses multidimensional poverty in Sudan and South Sudan. We use the National Baseline Household Surveys (NBHS) of 2009 to measure poverty incidence in education, consumption, access to public assets and possession of private assets across these two countries.

Temperature and Farm Labor in Nigeria
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We estimate the impact of temperature shocks on the composition of farm labor in rural Nigeria using a nationally representative household panel survey. Leveraging plausibly exogenous year‐to‐year variation in growing season temperatures, we find that warmer temperatures significantly alter farm labor composition, prompting a substantial shift

Is photovoltaic power a cost-effective energy solution for rural peoples in western Sudan? [PDF]
, 2006 Sudan like most poor countries suffers from a deficiency in the supply of electrical power, especially for rural areas. Less than 10% of the total population, can benefit from the national grid connection.

The $S=1/2$ Kagome Heisenberg Antiferromagnet Revisited
, 2019 We examine the perennial quantum spin-liquid candidate $S=1/2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice. Our study is based on achieving Lanczos diagonalization of the Hamiltonian on a $48$ site cluster in sectors with dimensions as a large as $5
