LP/SDP hierarchy lower bounds for decoding random LDPC codes
… of de, a linear number of rounds of the Lasserre SDP hierarchy cannot correct more than an O(1/dc) fraction of errors on a random (dv, dc)-regular LDPC code. Our proofs use a new streching and collapsing technique that allows us to leverage recent progress in the study of the limitations of LP/SDP …

Implications of the Value of Hydrologic Information to Reservoir Operations -- Learning From the Past
… an enhanced stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) model. The enhanced SDP model is applied to the Shelbyville Reservoir, IL, and then compared to two classic SDP formulations. From a data mining procedure, past month's inflow, current month's inflow, past month's release, and past month's …

Sepsis Discharge Program: An Interdisciplinary Approach To Reduce Sepsis Readmissions
… using a standardized, safe discharge program (SDP) and implement it using a dynamic interdisciplinary collaborative approach. Given the lack of historical baseline data, the program success was based on the SDP’s utilization rate. In the 13-week project implementation, a total of 21 patients …

Statistical and algorithmic foundation of K-means clustering
… cluster. Among the popular clustering methods, SDP clustering enjoys the strongest statistical guarantees under the standard Gaussian mixture models in that it achieves an information-theoretic bound for exact recovery. However, the original SDP method is limited to isotropic covariance matrices …

Peace and Sport: Challenging Limitations Across the Sport for Development and Peace Sector
This paper examines an international SDP NGO in relation to the most challenging limitations facing the current Sport for Development and Peace sector. Employing an existing academic framework of the contemporary SDP sector, this case study explores under what conditions an SDP organization might …

Semidefinite relaxation based branch-and-bound method for nonconvex quadratic programming
… of bounded polynomials. Then we demonstrate four SDP relaxation methods to solve nonconvex Box constrained Quadratic Programming (BoxQP) problems and the comparison of the four methods. For some lower dimensional problems, SDP relaxation methods can achieve tight bounds for the BoxQP problem; …

An Inquiry into the Theory of Action of School Development Planning constituted within the Professional Culture of the School Development Planning Initiative 1999-2010
… theory of action of school development planning (SDP) constituted within the professional culture of the School Development Planning Initiative (SDPI). SDP is delineated as an historically contingent term of art most influential in scholarly and policy discourse under the auspices of the Education …

A study on the role of sports in international peace and development using the Delphi method
… field of sport for development and peace (SDP), there are many programs working with communities using an array of techniques, methods and sports. Despite the progress and successes of these programs, there seems to be a scant amount of studies in the literature in supporting the role of …

"The case for peace-building as sport's next great legacy: A literature review, assessment, and suggestions for applying the ""slow child"" in the emergent field of Sport for Development and Peace"
Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) has gained substantial global interest in recent years among researchers, governmental and intergovernmental organizations, development workers, corporations, not-for-profits and community-based organizations, and activists. The rise of this field has drawn …

A critical examination of girls’ (dis)empowerment in sport for development and peace.
… within the sport for development and peace (SDP) movement so much so that some scholars have referred to the attention on women and girls as the ‘girling of development’ (Hayhurst 2013a; Chawansky 2011). Amongst the increasing number of programmes targeted at women’s and girl’s development …

Unique Games Conjecture : the Boolean Hypercube and connections to graph lifts
… for the Goemans-Williamson semidefinite program (SDP) for Max-2-LIN(\Z_2). We conjecture that augmenting the SDP with triangle inequalities makes the SDP exact upto constants on the Hypercube. We further establish connections between the integrality gap of the SDP and Mutlicommodity flow-cut gaps …

Discrete-continuous optimization for robot perception via semidefinite relaxation
… algorithms based on semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation to find approximate solutions to nonconvex problems arising in two fields of robot perception, semantic segmentation and robust pose graph optimization. Compared with other inference techniques, SDP relaxation have shown to provide …

Robust estimation, regression and ranking with applications in portfolio optimization
… models and semi-definite programming (SDP). In the robust covariance estimation problem, we design an optimization model with a loss function on the weighted Mahalanobis distances and show that the problem is equivalent to a system of equations and can be solved using the Newton-Raphson …

A source-destination based dynamic pricing scheme to optimize resource utilization in heterogeneous wireless networks
… pricing schemes as source–based dynamic pricing (SDP) schemes in this work. The main problem with these schemes is that, when the majority of the users in a congested cell are callees, dynamic pricing is ineffective because callers and not callees pay for network services, and resources used by …
