Black–Latino Relations in U.S. National Politics

Black–Latino Relations in U.S. National Politics

Hero Rodney E.; Preuhs Robert R.

Cambridge University Press
2013
pokkari
Social science research has frequently found conflict between Latinos and African Americans in urban politics and governance, as well as in the groups' attitudes toward one another. Rodney E. Hero and Robert R. Preuhs analyze whether conflict between these two groups is also found in national politics. Based on extensive evidence on the activities of minority advocacy groups in national politics and the behavior of minority members of Congress, the authors find the relationship between the groups is characterized mainly by non-conflict and a considerable degree of independence. The question of why there appears to be little minority intergroup conflict at the national level of government is also addressed. This is the first systematic study of Black–Latino intergroup relations at the national level of United States politics.

Parameterized Complexity

Parameterized Complexity

Rodney G. Downey; M.R. Fellows

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
1998
sidottu
The idea for this book was conceived over the second bottle of Villa Maria's Caber­ net Medot '89, at the dinner of the Australasian Combinatorics Conference held at Palmerston North, New Zealand in December 1990, where the authors first met and discovered they had a number of interests in common. Initially, we embarked on a small project to try to formulate reductions to address the apparent parame­ terized intractability of DOMINATING SET, and to introduce a structure in which to frame our answers. Having spent several months trying to get the definitions for the reductions right (they now seem so obvious), we turned to our tattered copies of Garey and Johnson's work [239]. We were stunned to find that virtually none of the classical reductions worked in the parameterized setting. We then wondered if we'd be able to find any interesting reductions. Several years, many more bottles, so many papers, and reductions later it [3] seemed that we had unwittingly stumbled upon what we believe is a truly central and new area of complexity theory. It seemed to us that the material would be of great interest to people working in areas where exact algorithms for a small range of parameters are natural and useful (e. g. , Molecular Biology, VLSI design). The tractability theory was rich with distinctive and powerful techniques. The intractability theory seemed to have a deep structure and techniques all of its own.

Algorithmic Randomness and Complexity

Algorithmic Randomness and Complexity

Rodney G. Downey; Denis R. Hirschfeldt

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2010
sidottu
Intuitively, a sequence such as 101010101010101010… does not seem random, whereas 101101011101010100…, obtained using coin tosses, does. How can we reconcile this intuition with the fact that both are statistically equally likely? What does it mean to say that an individual mathematical object such as a real number is random, or to say that one real is more random than another? And what is the relationship between randomness and computational power. The theory of algorithmic randomness uses tools from computability theory and algorithmic information theory to address questions such as these. Much of this theory can be seen as exploring the relationships between three fundamental concepts: relative computability, as measured by notions such as Turing reducibility; information content, as measured by notions such as Kolmogorov complexity; and randomness of individual objects, as first successfully defined by Martin-Löf. Although algorithmic randomness has been studied for several decades, a dramatic upsurge of interest in the area, starting in the late 1990s, has led to significant advances. This is the first comprehensive treatment of this important field, designed to be both a reference tool for experts and a guide for newcomers. It surveys a broad section of work in the area, and presents most of its major results and techniques in depth. Its organization is designed to guide the reader through this large body of work, providing context for its many concepts and theorems, discussing their significance, and highlighting their interactions. It includes a discussion of effective dimension, which allows us to assign concepts like Hausdorff dimension to individual reals, and a focused but detailed introduction to computability theory. It will be of interest to researchers and students in computability theory, algorithmic information theory, and theoretical computer science.

Contingent Collaboration

Contingent Collaboration

Rodney J. Scott; Eleanor R. K. Merton

Cambridge University Press
2022
pokkari
The question of how agencies can work together has been central to the field of public administration for several decades. Despite significant research, the process of collaboration can still be a fraught endeavour for practitioners. Nevertheless, agencies keep trying to work together because it is the only way to make progress on the biggest challenges facing public administrators. This Element reveals the deeply contingent nature of collaboration, rejecting the idea that collaboration can be reduced to a universal best practice. The New Zealand government has implemented such a contingent approach that maps different collaborative methods against problem settings and the degree of trade-off required from the actors' core or individual work. This Element provides a detailed case study of the New Zealand approach, and 18 embedded elements or 'model' collaborative forms for joined-up government. It explains how New Zealand public servants approach the important question: 'when to use which models?'.

Fundamentals of Parameterized Complexity

Fundamentals of Parameterized Complexity

Rodney G. Downey; Michael R. Fellows

Springer London Ltd
2013
sidottu
This comprehensive and self-contained textbook presents an accessible overview of the state of the art of multivariate algorithmics and complexity. Increasingly, multivariate algorithmics is having significant practical impact in many application domains, with even more developments on the horizon. The text describes how the multivariate framework allows an extended dialog with a problem, enabling the reader who masters the complexity issues under discussion to use the positive and negative toolkits in their own research. Features: describes many of the standard algorithmic techniques available for establishing parametric tractability; reviews the classical hardness classes; explores the various limitations and relaxations of the methods; showcases the powerful new lower bound techniques; examines various different algorithmic solutions to the same problems, highlighting the insights to be gained from each approach; demonstrates how complexity methods and ideas have evolved over the past 25 years.

Latinos in the New Millennium is a comprehensive profile of Latinos in the United States: looking at their social characteristics, group relations, policy positions and political orientations. The authors draw on information from the 2006 Latino National Survey (LNS), the largest and most detailed source of data on Hispanics in America. This book provides essential knowledge about Latinos, contextualizing research data by structuring discussion around many dimensions of Latino political life in the US. The encyclopedic range and depth of the LNS allows the authors to appraise Latinos' group characteristics, attitudes, behaviors and their views on numerous topics. This study displays the complexity of Latinos, from recent immigrants to those whose grandparents were born in the United States.

Mit der Ausbeutung der nat rlichen Ressourcen f r Landwirtschaft und Viehzucht geht der Verlust der einheimischen W lder und Galeriew lder in Brasilien einher. Ziel des Buches war die Durchf hrung von Studien zur Wiederherstellung der degradierten Fl chen in den Galeriew ldern von Ribeir o S o Jo o in der Gemeinde Palmas - TO und die Bewertung der Anfangsphase dieser Wiederherstellung. Um die nat rliche Regeneration zu unterst tzen, haben wir durch die Anreicherung von Arten Setzlinge von einheimischen Pflanzen verwendet, die an die Umweltbedingungen und den St rungsgrad des ausgew hlten Gebiets angepasst sind. Das Gebiet verf gt ber noch vorhandene Arten, ein grundlegender Faktor f r die Etablierung einer Begr nung mit Eigenschaften, die dem Anfangsstadium nahe kommen. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die Arten Inga sp., Enterolobium contortisiliquum und Pouteria macrophilla durch die Artenanreicherung gute berlebensraten haben und auch ohne besondere Bodenbehandlung eine schnelle Bodenbedeckung gew hrleisten.
