IPL , 41(3):163-168, 1992. and this survey paper. In [5], a new query language design is proposed. The expressive power of the language is determined in [2] and all reasonable extensions are considered. In [3, 4], we focus on the optimization issue of avoiding unnecessary sorting of relations. The results in these papers are directly applicable to any algebra-based query language. In addition to the query language part, a database system also has to offer update facilities. The theory of standard tuple based updates is quite well developed in the sequential case. In [1], we discuss a new concurrent implementation of balanced search trees for that purpose.This survey paper describes the results of the papers which form the thesis, and relates these results to each other and to the area in a broader sense than is customary in the introductions of individual papers. The paper is intended to be read in combination with the papers on which it is based

Scheduling participants of Assessment Centres
Full text linkAssessment Centres are used as a tool for psychologists and coaches to ob- serve a number of dimensions in a person's behaviour and test his/her potential within a number of chosen focus areas. This is done in an intense course, with a number of dierent exercises which expose each participant's ability level in the chosen focus areas. The participants are observed by assessors with the purpose of gathering material for reaching a conclusion on each participant's personal pro le. We consider the particular case that arises at the company Human Equity (www.humanequity.dk), where Assessment Centres usually last two days and involve 3-6 psychologists or trained coaches as assessors. An entire course is composed of a number of rounds, with each round having its individual duration. In each round, the participants are divided into a number of groups with prespeci ed pairing of group sizes and assessors. The scheduling problem amounts to determining the allocation of participants to groups in each round. We have developed a model and solution approach for this particular scheduling problem, which may be viewed as a rather extensive generalization of the Social Golfer Problem.No keywords;
Paranarthrura Hansen 1913
No full textGenus Paranarthrura Hansen, 1913 Generic remarks. This genus was erected by Hansen (1913) to accommodate his new species P. insignis, P. subtilis, and P. c l a v i p e s from the Danish Ingolf expedition. However, Hansen only described P. insignis in detail and Lang (1971 a: 354) pointed out that P. subtilis differs from the generic diagnosis in having smoothly rounded setose apical processes on the labium, instead of the conspicuous pointed triangular lobes of the diagnosis. Lang did not pursue the issue about P. subtilis further, but for some reason, he did changed the diagnosis of Paranarthrura to specify a ‘flat’ labium; a character in direct violation of the diagnosis of the type species P. insignis. Lang (1971 a: 368) then proceeded to redescribe and illustrate P. i n s i g n i s with pointed, not flat, triangular labium lobes. Also Bird & Holdich (1989) commented on the heterogeneous nature of this genus – and it may prove to be polyphyletic. Paranarthrura is a cosmopolitan genus to be found in any deep-water sampling around the world. The most recent key to the genus is given by Larsen (2005).Published as part of Larsen, Kim, 2007, Family Agathotanaidae Lang, 1971 a *, pp. 41-60 in Zootaxa 1599 on page 54, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17872
Kim Gordon - no icon
No full textAs cofounder of legendary rock band Sonic Youth, best-selling author, and celebrated artist, Kim Gordon is one of the most singular and influential figures of the modern era. This personally curated scrapbook is an edgy and evocative portrait of Gordon s life, art, and style. Spanning from her childhood on Californian surf beaches in the 60s and 70s to New York s downtown art and music scene in the 80s and 90s where Sonic Youth was born. Through unpublished personal photographs, magazine and newspaper clippings, fashion editorials, and advertising campaigns, interspersed with Gordon s song lyrics, writings, artworks, private objects, and ephemera, this book demonstrates how Kim Gordon has been a role model for generations of women and me
A note on “Multicriteria adaptive paths in stochastic, time-varying networks”
Full text linkIn a recent paper, Opasanon and Miller-Hooks study multicriteria adaptive paths in stochastic time-varying networks. They propose a label correcting algorithm for finding the full set of efficient strategies. In this note we show that their algorithm is not correct, since it is based on a property that does not hold in general. Opasanon and Miller-Hooks also propose an algorithm for solving a parametric problem. We give a simplified algorithm which is linear in the input size.Multiple objective programming; shortest paths; stochastic time-dependent networks; time-adaptive strategies
