=============================================================================
		Nowhere-zero k-flows.

Abstract:
For a directed graph G, a nowhere-zero $k$-flow is defined as a
function $\phi$ on the edges on G such that for
all edges e of G $|\phi(e)|$ is in $1,2,\ldots,k-1$ and
for every vertex v of G
$$\sum_{e \in \delta^+(v)} \phi(e) = \sum_{e \in \delta^-(v)} \phi(e).$$
Tutte (1954) made the following conjecture:
For every directed graph with no isthmus there exist a nowhere-zero $5$-flow.
This is still an open problem but Jaeger(1975) proved that
every directed graph with no isthmus has a nowhere-zero $8$-flow. Seymour
(1981) pushed that value down to $6$, i.e. for
every directed graph with no isthmus there exist a nowhere-zero $6$-flow.
These theorems will be proved in the seminar.

'Wurlsirton'. Of 'frodderlisk'.
Voor de meervouden, zie het woordenboek waar ook het woord
'aanloopverschijnsel' instaat.
Alle gekheid op een stokje, ik vind 'aanloopverschijnsel' geen mooi woord.
Ik vraag me af wat het betekent; moet je het niet sowieso omschrijven? 
Misschien is 'kinderziekte' wel een beter bekend woord. Of heb ik het
nu helemaal verkeerd begrepen?

De bedoeling van deze posting is:

   alvorens men de grenzen overgaat. Vrijwel alle grote softwarepakketten

Greetings....

I'm conducting some research on the development of electronic networks in 
Canada.  I've done numerious literature searches, but have found few 
academic articles on the sociological or cultural implications on comp 
networks in Canada.  Do you have any sugestions for a bibliography?

Although this newsgroup might not have been the ideal location to post 
this, any ideas, suggestions or plain advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The plan is to destream up to grade 9.  After the "universal" education
from Kindergarten to Grade 9, students will be able to begin to choose
"streams."

>For those who follow Ont. high school education closely enough, could

The anticipated effects tend to be strongly correlated with one's 
political beliefs.

Those that are affiliated with the NDP seem to think that destreaming
will result in some sort of egalitarian nirvana.  The brighter students
will be able to help bring the slower students up to par, and we can have
lower drop-out rates as a result.

Some others think that it might be more appropriate to direct specific
programming at groups of students that may have distinct characteristics.
They tend to feel that having only one stream will tend to alienate
those students that lie at the "ends."

For instance, assuming that there are three distinct groups; the
"average", "below average", and "above average", a single stream cannot
be simultaneously optimized for all three groups.

If the stream is biased towards those that are "below average," the
other two groups are likely to get rather bored.  Bored students are
disruptive students, and so nobody is likely to learn much of anything.

If the stream is biased towards the "above average" students, the other
two groups are likely to be lost, thus the solution is not adequate.

If the stream is biased towards the "average" students, then there will
be a combination of bored and lost students.

In each of these cases, the "alienated" groups of students are likely to
have increased drop-out rates.

It might be a more nearly optimal solution to actually have 3 classes,
directed to each sort of student.

The alternative is to make use of "teaching assistants" to deal with
individual cases - but that means that there's TWO people in the classroom,
which costs more $.

However, it looks like Tony Silipo may not be surviving much longer in
any case, and thus things are likely to change yet again...

Your best bet would be the National Capital Freenet, a free region-wide 
information service that offers internet mail among other things (I'm currently
replying from it).  This system only asks for donations of funds or equipment or
volunteer help--no actual user fee (or fee of any kind).  It operates at 2400 BPS,
so that's no problem.  The number is 780-3733 (780-FREE).  Hope this helps!

Not quite true. There was something on this on TV last week, and my
understanding is that if you can get someone knowledgeable in the
field (eg., a used car dealer) to sign a statement attesting to the
"fair market value" of the vehicle you will only have to pay taxes on
that amount. Still more than the $1, but less than red-book.

Hi folks,

Can anyone tell me of a dial-in node in Ottawa that my son could use to
communicate with me via e-mail?  Preferably a free one as he's an
impoverished student ;-)
He's got a 2400bps modem on an AT, and while he's not into Unix, he
could certainly learn how to cope with e-mail easily enough.  I'm sure
he'd find a lot of fascinating stuff in the newsgroups, too, once he has
access to them.

Many thanks,

In this case of "rampant commercialism on the net", I think you're wrong.
Nobody's advertising "come buy this from me"; they're simply announcing the
availability of a free seminar, sponsored by a group that offers such
seminars regularly.

It would be one thing if IBM was posting this, offering a seminar at IBM,
but it's the University offering the seminar. The University has such
seminars all the time; this one just happens to be about IBM machines.

Sorry, but you're wrong this time.
