PATH FINDING: A* OR DIJKSTRA’S? Abstract It is well known that computing shortest paths over a network is an important task in many network and transportation related analyses. Choosing an adequate algorithm from the numerous algorithms reported in the literature is a critical step in many applications involving real road networks. In a recent study‚ a set of two shortest path algorithms that run fastest on real road networks has been identified. These two algorithms are: 1) the A* algorithm

CTBT Implications‚ Foreign Minister Abdul Sattar‚ Institute of Policy Studies‚ Islamabad‚ January 4‚ 2000 At a time when Pakistan has been the target of vicious Indian propaganda‚ motivated by a preconceived design to falsely implicate Pakistan in the Indian plane’s hijacking incident‚ it may seem odd to speak about the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. But this meeting was scheduled earlier and I felt we should not allow our agenda to be determined by priorities of others. We do not allow our policy

subjects. Nuclear power accidents have left the world unsure over whether we should continue using this energy source. However‚ the wide range of uses for nuclear power and its efficiency mean that for now nuclear power is here to stay. But what are the implications? Outline: i. Introduction: a. Thesis: Nuclear power today is a developing and important technology‚ and despite its environmental setbacks‚ it remains a source a strong source of power. ii. Origin of Nuclear Power a. Beginning

Objectivity of Science In his book‚ The Foundation of Scientific Revolutions‚ Kuhn challenged the prevailing belief of how science was conducted‚ and people in the Humanities found his book compelling‚ even disruptive. Why would people in the Humanities consider Kuhn’s theories on the nature of science‚ a different discipline‚ relevant to their work? Those in the Humanities believed that science was the standard for objective research and the discovery of truth. Consequently‚ they believed that

production processes. The changes that took place included a move from hand production to using machines‚ novel chemical manufacturing‚ improved processes in the production of iron‚ better efficiency in using water power‚ increased steam power utilization‚ and tools were developed that could use machines (UNIDO‚ 1983). It also saw a change from using wood and bio-fuels to coal as the main source of fuel. The era saw increased movement from rural areas‚ where farming was the main economic activity‚ to

Scientific approach can be defined as the involvement of standards and procedures for demonstrating the empirical warrant of its findings‚ showing the match or fit between its statements and what is happening or has happened in the world. Scientific approaches to understanding the world can be distinguished from other approaches in two fundamental and irrelevant ways‚ firstly‚ an approach that claim to be scientific irrespective of whether or not it originates in the field of natural or human science

found in descriptive statistics. As stated in previous research‚ the situation at hand is a human resource firm being able to acquire new personnel and process them to be ready for employment. The most important issue is the time between dates of hire to the date the personnel actually begin work. This has been an issue to all of the future employees of the firm. Many factors will be held accountable as far as this particular process goes. This study will focus on the relationship between the time of

What Benefits Can Be Derived From Stem Cell Research? Stem Cell Research has been extremely controversial recently. There are two sides to this issue. Many people reject the idea because they believe it violates their religious beliefs. The political parties find this research to be very expensive and they also believe this issue is similar to abortion. On the other hand‚ the medical community is in favor of stem cell investigation because it has been known to help people with major diseases
