Decoupling the UNIVAC Computer from Spreadsheets in Redundancy Taras Mos Abstract The implications of embedded models have been farreaching and pervasive. Given the current status of lossless algorithms, computational biologists predictably desire the study of symmetric encryption, which embodies the confusing principles of e-voting technology. In order to fix this issue, we concentrate our efforts on demonstrating that Smalltalk and the location-identity split can collaborate to surmount this problem.

logistics costs, and other important attributes. In all three cases, the winner determination problem and the determination of payments turn out to be interesting and challenging combinatorial optimization problems. In our review, we present mathematical formulation of procurement scenarios under each category, bring out the challenge involved in solving the problems, and indicate active research topics. We also present a case study of electronic procurement at General Motors. A Note to Practitioners—

Fraud Act 2006 could be a useful tool in the prosecution of e-Crimes. It turns out that crimes on the computer net works and other electronic forms have been prevalent for more than two decades without being successfully prosecuted in majority of cases. The Thefts Acts 1968 and 1978 had inadequacies to deal with the kind of offences possible on the electronic forms. Hence, to avoid continual amendments to Theft Acts which could not have retrospective effect, Fraud Act 2006 has been enacted with sweeping

A Traditional Marriage Jason Lafrades University of Phoenix Business Communications and Critical Thinking 275 Kathy Rodriguez-Abbott July 25, 2013 A Traditional Marriage John R. Guardiano wrote an article in the American Spectator titled, “Why Gay ‘Marriage Equality’ Is Bad for America and Hurts Children.” In his article, he argues that gay marriage is not “traditional.” His idea of a traditional marriage is one between a man and woman, which he considers to be the foundation for a strong

pride on the other may undermine traditional conceptions of recognition. Using the ROC-PRC diplomatic battle as a case study, this paper hopes to shed light on two questions: why, despite the PRC's rise as a global power, a country would continue to formally recognize the ROC and secondly what does the ROC receive in exchange for such high-cost endeavors to maintain recognition. In this case mutual ideological rationales have greatly diminished while I contend that economic factors have predominantly

ABSTRACT This study discusses the concept and phenomenon of intrapreneurship as well as its prerequisites and outcomes. This study is a part of a larger research programme aiming at building a model of intrapreneurship and testing the model in different kinds of organisations and contexts. In this paper we present results of the survey of 8 companies and 184 employee responses. Based on these preliminary results we discuss the findings and implications for further research. The study points out

punishment affects murder rates can be explained through general deterrence theory, which supposes that increasing the risk of apprehension and punishment for crime deters individuals from committing crime. Nobel laureate Gary S. Becker's seminal 1968 study of the economics of crime assumed that individuals respond to the costs and benefits of committing crime. According to deterrence theory, criminals are no different from law-abiding people. Criminals "rationally maximize their own self-interest
