On the solution of quadratic programming problems with bound constraints
No full textAn algorithm is proposed that uses the conjugate gradient method to explore the
face of the feasible region defined by the current iterate, and the gradient projection method to move
to a different face. It is proved that for strictly convex problems the algorithm converges to the
solution, and that if the solution is nondegenerate, then the algorithm terminates at the solution in
a finite number of steps. Numerical results are presented for the obstacle problem, the elastic-plastic
torsion problem, and the journal bearing problems. On a selection of these problems with dimensions
ranging from 5000 to 15,000, the algorithm determines the solution in fewer than 15 iterations, and
with a small number of function-gradient evaluations and Hessian-vector products per iteration
Some Europeans are more equal than others
No full textThe position of Roma migrants in the EU presents an anomaly which challenges the foundations of European Union law. As Union citizens, European migrants are entitled to freedom of movement and residence in Member States. Yet the rights intended to secure this position have been routinely and selectively denied to Roma migrants, leading to forced evictions and collective expulsions without regard t o European Law. As has been evidenced in the UK, Roma arrivals are viewed with particularly acute suspicion; a response which reflects their double stigmatization as both immigrant and Roma. At the same time, Roma migration from new Member States has expo sed a contradiction inherent in the citizenship project which strikes at the heart of the Union ’s human rights credentials. The degree of exclusion and inequality faced by Europe’s largest minority in all Member States is the most pressing internal human rights issue facing the EU. Yet the European institutions continue to lack a coherent response and defined strategy. The current European framework demanding National Action Plans is commendable in that it prevents individual states from abdicating responsibility for the situation of their Roma citizens. Nevertheless, the absence of clear targets, Roma engagement and European leadership, suggest that this strategy is doomed to failure offering little more than a distraction. In a Union predicated on, inter alia, the rule of law, respect for human rights and the protection of minorities, this detached position undermines the legitimacy of the entire citizenship project
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

More Fables
No full textA companion in the same format to Fables in Slang. The fun continues! The title-page, cover, and spine have the title listed above, while the page before the title-page has More Fables in Slang. My favorites here are the first few ( The Fable of How Uncle Brewster was Too Shifty for the Tempter, The Fable of the Grass Widow and the Mesmeree and the Six Dollars, and The Fable of the Honest Money-Maker and the Partner of His Joys, Such as They Were ) and the last ( The Fable of the Author Who was Sorry for What He Did to Willie ). The first edition was first sold by Purnell in Sacramento.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)First editionGeorge Ad
