This paper explores the process by which Great Britain rose to a position of global leadership in the 1800s.It examines the critical period from 1750 to 1792 when Great Britain moved from global leadership based on colonial/mercantile power to leadership based on industrial/commercial power.I hypothesize that the roots of the Pax Britannica of 1815
Clustering is an important task in data analysis to find a partition on an Shock Sensor unlabeled dataset based on similarity relationships among its elements.Typically, such similarity is determined by a proximity measure or distance.Then, the optimal partition is the one that minimizes the distance among elements belonging to the same subset and
Abstract Pollinators are introduced to agroecosystems to provide pollination services.Introductions of managed pollinators often promote ecosystem services, but it remains largely unknown whether they also affect evolutionary mutualisms between wild pollinators and plants.Here, we developed a model to assess effects of managed honey bees on mutuali
In a complex network, some nodes are relatively concentrated in topological structure, thus forming a relatively independent node group, which we call a community.Usually, there are multiple communities on a network, and these communities are interconnected and exchange information with each other.A node that plays an important role in the process
The behaviour of a transmission channel may be simulated using the performance abilities of current generation multiprocessing hardware, namely, a multicore Central Processing Unit (CPU), a general purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), or a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).These were investigated by Cullinan et al.in a recent paper (published
