Unit sizes in the Late Roman army
… made with caution. Even for the Principate unit sizes are not easy to establish, although it seems likely that legions contained about 5,000 men each, and auxiliary units approximately their nominal quingenary or milliary strengths. Documentary evidence is limited but does tend to confirm the …

Estimating Reachability Set Sizes in Dynamic Graphs
Graphs are a commonly used abstraction for diverse kinds of interactions, e.g., on Twitter and Facebook. Different kinds of topological properties of such graphs are computed for gaining insights into their structure. Computing properties of large real networks is computationally very challenging. …

Building a Case for Smaller English Class Sizes
… more students, which may result in larger class sizes. As institutions exercise the option of increasing course enrollment caps, faculty scholars are questioning the effects of class size on both student learning and faculty workload. At one state institution (Kennesaw State University), the …

Bicircular Matroids with Circuits of at Most Two Sizes
… binary matroids having circuits of two different sizes. They also shothat there are many such matroids. In general, there are not many results that specify the matroids with circuits of just a few different sizes. Cordovil, Junior, and Lemos provided such results on matroids with small …

Optimizing Apparel Pack Sizes Across Retailer’s North America Network
… to many factories that pack in varied sizes and quantities. Packaging is a critical, early step in retailers’ supply chains. Pack quantities impact downstream supply chain costs. Optimizing the relationship between pack quantities and downstream costs allows retailers to reduce …

A Massively Parallel Exact TSP Solver for Small Problem Sizes
… solution even for relatively small problem sizes. The literature describes many heuristic algorithms that solve the problem approximately but only few exact algorithms. The TSP solver implemented in this study is a GPU-accelerated exact solver for small problem sizes. The goal is to exploit …

Performance of Number of Factors Procedures in Small Sample Sizes
… number of factors is possible in small sample sizes only when overdetermination and model strength are adequately high, larger sample sizes should be preferred when possible.</p>

Entity finding in a document collection using adaptive window sizes
Traditional search engines work by returning a list of documents in response to queries. However, such engines are often inadequate when the information need of the user involves entities. This issue has led to the development of entity-search, which unlike normal web search does not aim at …

Polycrystalline Grain Boundary Solute Segregation at Finite Sizes and Temperatures
Engineering defect chemistry allows novel pathways for controlling bulk material behavior, especially for high-defect-density materials like nanocrystalline alloys. With this concept, solute segregation at grain boundaries can be employed as a defect design tool to stabilize such systems against …

Process Monitoring with Multivariate Data:Varying Sample Sizes and Linear Profiles
… costs. MEWMA control charts with unequal sample sizes based on differing measurement costs are investigated in order to improve the performance of process monitoring. Sequential sampling plans are applied to MEWMA control charts with unequal sample sizes and compared to the standard MEWMA control …

Electron beam sizes and lifetimes at MAX II and MAX III
… the transverse and longitudinal electron beam sizes and the electron beam lifetime limitations in electron storage rings are discussed and the methods used at MAX-lab to measure them are described. The thesis describes how measurements of the electron beam sizes and lifetimes were used to …

An exploration of mutation effect sizes in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
<p>Mutation rates vary within and among species, in part reflecting the variable input of the two main sources of mutation, DNA replication errors and DNA damage. In somatic tissues, oxidative damage resulting from free radical attacks on DNA is an important and well-characterized cause of …

A Quantitative Assessment of Droplet Sizes in Atmospheric and Engine Environments
No discernible difference was seen between exciplex and pentanone tracers in atmospheric conditions and both gave good agreement with the PDA data. The PDA typically reported a wider spray because had to record for a much longer time to pick up enough droplets, increasing the chances of picking up …

Tracking working set sizes of virtual machines using miss ratio curves
… it is essential that these working set sizes be estimated accurately at any given point in time. Currently, a statistical sampling strategy is used within VMware ESX hypervisors to estimate the working set sizes of VMs. Using this technique, a small number of random pages is selected to …

Seasonal Variation of Mud Floc Sizes in Two Small Freshwater Streams
… was to develop a relationship between floc sizes and stream characteristics (temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a, organic content, TSS, pH) and to compare how that relationship varies seasonally and spatially across two streams in the same watershed with a similar drainage area but …
