Get PDFLiterary festivals are an opportunity for authors and readers to mingle and interact. Libraries that host literary festivals connect book lovers and writers in a very personal way, enabling libraries to bask in the glory of that connection.

Implementing the Simplex Algorithm to Solve Zero-Sum Games
Get PDFThe concept of a zero-sum game in Game Theory is widely studied in fields such as Mathematics and Economics in order to analyze situations and determine optimal courses of actions. Although a game or situation with fewer decisions can be solved by hand, we can turn to the Simplex Algorithm to efficiently solve larger games. This paper examines how the Simplex Algorithm can be implemented as a linear program in order to solve m x n zero-sum games

Current and Past Prairie Reconstruction Approaches
Get PDFThis project was concerned with prairie reconstruction - that is, lands that have been seeded and are being managed to emulate a prairie ecosystem. The first section is a literature review on how prairie reconstruction arose. In the second component, data on plant species in local reconstructed prairies collected for the Prairie Reconstruction Initiative by the Morris Wetland Management District were summarized. The new monitoring framework is evaluated, as is the condition of the selected reconstructions, including the success of planted species and encroachment of non-native species
