Reaching Agreement in the Presence of Faults
- JOURNAL OF THE ACM
, 1980
"... The problem addressed here concerns a set of isolated processors, some unknown subset of which may be faulty, that communicate only by means of two-party messages. Each nonfaulty processor has a private value of reformation that must be communicated to each other nonfanlty processor. Nonfaulty proc ..."

Developments in the Measurement of Subjective Well-Being
- Psychological Science.
, 1993
"... F or good reasons, economists have had a long-standing preference for studying peoples' revealed preferences; that is, looking at individuals' actual choices and decisions rather than their stated intentions or subjective reports of likes and dislikes. Yet people often make choices that b ..."

Estimation of effective interresidue contact energies from protein crystal structures: quasi-chemical approximation
- Macromolecules
, 1985
"... ABSTRACT: Effective interresidue contact energies for proteins in solution are estimated from the numbers of residue-residue contacts observed in crystal structures of globular proteins by means of the quasi-chemical approximation with an approximate treatment of the effects of chain connectivity. E ..."

Distributed average consensus with least-mean-square deviation
- Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing
, 2005
"... We consider a stochastic model for distributed average consensus, which arises in applications such as load balancing for parallel processors, distributed coordination of mobile autonomous agents, and network synchronization. In this model, each node updates its local variable with a weighted averag ..."

The quality of consensus can be measured by the total mean-square deviation of the individual variables from their average, which converges to a steady-state value. We consider the problem of finding
Asymptotic results for multiplexing subexponential on-off processes
- Advances in Applied Probability
, 1998
"... Consider an aggregate arrival process AN obtained by multiplexing N On-Off processes with exponential Off periods of rate λ and subexponential On periods τon. As N goes to infinity, with λN → Λ, AN approaches an M/G/ ∞ type process. Both for finite and infinite N, we obtain the asymptotic characteri ..."

Practical privacy: the sulq framework
- In PODS ’05: Proceedings of the twenty-fourth ACM SIGMOD-SIGACT-SIGART symposium on Principles of database systems
, 2005
"... We consider a statistical database in which a trusted administrator introduces noise to the query responses with the goal of maintaining privacy of individual database entries. In such a database, a query consists of a pair (S, f) where S is a set of rows in the database and f is a function mapping ..."

Results of Dinur, Dwork, and Nissim show that a strong form of privacy can be maintained using a surprisingly small amount of noise – much less than the sampling error – provided the total

Evaluation of transpiration in a Douglas-fir stand by means of sap flow measurements

"... Transpiration of a Douglas-fir (Pseudorsuga menziesii (Mirb.) France) stand was evaluated by sap flow measurements during a 4-month period. Between-tree variation in sap flow depended on crown class. On a sunny day, total transpiration was 1.6, 8.0 and 22.0 liters day- ’ for suppressed, codomi-nant ..."

An approximation algorithm for the generalized assignment problem
