Talk:Branch and bound

message: Do the subregions created during the branch and bound heuristic have to be mutually disjoint? - Strictly speaking, the sub-regions need not be mutually disjoint. However, intersecting sub-domains will only but introduce additional overhead.  
According to the book "The Traveling Salesman Problem - A Computational Study" by David L. Applegate, Robert E. Bixby, Vasek Chvátal, and William J. Cook (Chap 1, pag 41) the branch-and-bound approach has its origin in work on the Traveling Salesman Problem. The concept was introduced in the late 1950s (Bock 1958, Croes, 1958), even though the name branch-and-bound appeared only in a 1963 paper by Little et al. (1963).
F. Bock. An algorithm for solving “traveling-salesman” and related network optimization problems. Research Report, Armour Research Foundation, 1958.

thread_title: Disjoint subregions

message: The article says:
There is no universal bounding algorithm that works for all problems, and there is little hope that one will ever be found;
It seems to me that, not only has no algorithm ever been found, but moreover that there does not even exist such a "universal" bounding algorithm, even in principle. For example, consider a set where f(x)=0 for all x except one xi chosen at random with f(xi)=1. Without any further information, the only way to be sure and find xi is to check every element, right? Perhaps someone with more knowledge of this field can advise, thanks. 67.9.148.47 (talk) 06:08, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

message: There is a statement about Sandy McCutcheon circulating on the Internet -- the one published on the ABC's site -- that has what seems to me an inconsistency.

At the same time, this book was published in 1997. Another source claims that it has not been runner-up, but shortlisted.

Talk:Gotse Delchev (disambiguation)

message: What is this nonsence - you picture here the father of the Macedonian Nation as Bulgarian. This is highly iligal and I will consider taking you to court unless you take those insunuations from your webpages.
Even if he was Bulgarian (which he was not, the statement used usually is falsified), he was still Macedonian revolutionary, for he fought for revolution in Macedonia.

thread_title:  Cell Death is irrelevant to this article 

message: Although this article provides some useful information and is well referenced, it is inadequate in organization and content. The presentation is understandable because the different topics are broken up into separate paragraphs. With this considered, there are still no headings or table of contents to assist in the viewing process. There is an introduction to this article. It properly defines lipolysis and gives other important details, but it fails to properly summarize the article. After the introduction, the material of the article is lacking focus and feels erratic from paragraph to paragraph. For instance, in the introduction it mentions lipolysis occurs in adipose tissue while in the second paragraph it mentions lipolysis occurs in the blood without connecting those two pieces of information within the context of whole body lipid metabolism. The article covers the material partially and sporadically. There are details missing, for example, the molecular mechanism by which lipolysis occurs and specificity of the location of lipolysis within the body as well as within the cell. The single image provided is a helpful diagram that shows epinephrine's effects on lipolysis. 
The facts are emphasized and properly cited throughout and no assumptions are made. All facts appear to be true and come from sources that show evidence. The sources used are all from reputable sources. The references section contains only published primary literature, review articles, and a textbook. Additionally, it can be seen from the wording used that this article is unbiased.

Talk:UP (complexity)

message: There is a slight problem here with one-way functions.
Indeed, Papadimitriou  does show that one-way functions exists if and only if P \neq UP.  However, he uses a non-standard definition of one-way function.  This is explained in detail in his book.  I quote from page 285: A definition of one-way functions that is closer to what we need in cryptography would replace requirement (iii) -- that inverting is worst-case difficult -- by a stronger requirement [...]
This is a big difference, and it is (as far as I know) unknown whether one-way functions are implied by P\neq UP.
: I've removed it. The definition isn't really "nonstandard" per-se, it is just the worst-case definition of one-wayness, used only in structural complexity instead of cryptographic complexity. I also removed a similar reference to worst-case one-way functions from the one-way function article.  Blokhead 18:58, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The article currently says in the definition "if x isn't in L, there is no certificate y with |y| = O(|x|c) such that A(x,y) = 1". What does this mean? One might try to interpret this sentence as "for all functions f such that f(x) = O(|x|c), and for any x not in L, there is no certificate y with |y| = f(x) such that A(x,y) = 1" or "there exists a function f such that f(x) = O(|x|c) and for any x not in L, there is no certificate y with |y| ≤ f(x) such that A(x,y) = 1" etc. but these don't make sense. Or is "|y| = O(|x|c)" here just a mistake and it should simply be "if x isn't in L, there is no certificate y such that A(x,y) = 1"? 90.190.113.12 (talk) 21:21, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Anthraquinone is not used anymore that I know, the reason is it being carcinogenic.
Xylanase is rarely used. It works well in a controlled lab setting but less so in pulp mills due to the varying properties of the bulk produced enzyme.

Talk:Oxcarbazepine

message: Our group initially focused on the lead section, we intended to improve it by stating & citing the relevant indications for oxcarbazepine, and denoting its structural similarities to carbamazepine and the impact associated with that. Then we expanded the content in the medical uses section, by providing age restriction. Next, we tried to improve the side effect section by converting the format from paragraph to bullet points, so that the information would be easier to sort through. Finally, we attempted to expand the content in the article by including the following sections: pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics, interactions and contraindications.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabewong group14 (talk • contribs) 07:53, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

message: 1. Does this draft submission reflect a neutral point of view?
Yes, their edits neither support nor deter the use of Oxcarbazepine. 
2. Are the points included verifiable with cited published material? 
Yes their edits include citations directly from package insert or approved secondary sources. 
3. What recommendations can you provide your colleague for improvement of their draft?
· Additions made to the Pregnancy section were appropriate; however, the entire section may be considered too difficult to read for most of the public.  A more concise and simplified revision can be made to properly explain what pregnancy category C meant, or a link to the pregnancy category system could have been provided. 
· For the side effects portion, percentages could be listed to help the general public prioritize which side effects are most common.
· The last 2 sentences in side effects are not cited. The last sentence also seems to be anecdotal, which should be omitted. BMacapinlacG13 (talk) 05:52, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Paul Rose (writer)

message: Mr. Biffo is best known as the editor of Teletext-based video games magazine Digitiser, which ran between 1993 and 2003.
Hi, noticed this is up for "speedy deletion". However, the guy is real - it's the penname of Paul Rose, who is an esteemed writer in UK television. More information about him can be found at his site: http://www.mrbiffo.com - the FAQ has links to his other work, including writing for the TV Soap Eastenders.
Hope this clears up the misunderstanding - Cheers, Tom
Mr Biffo is a real person, however it is only a psuedonymn (sp). His main 'claim to fame' is that he was the author of digitiser, which recieved 1 million viewers each day, which is more than any printed magazine gets per month in the UK. He was also nominated for a bafta for his work on my parents are aliens. Deleting this page would be like deleting any other screen writers' page. Pod 18:41, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Maybe "mr biffo" should just redirect to a "Paul Rose" entry.  I don't see why Rose/Biffo can't have a wikipedia page, but to be honest the entry is pretty poor and could be rewritten - perhaps by Biffo himself or someone who isn't just off the forum.  Looking through the history of the page it seems there have been a couple edits which would fall under patent nonsense or POV ("inventor of the phrase 'moc-moc-a-moc'", "mr biffo is this: aces" etc.).  It is fun to make up random shite on wikipedia sometimes but you can hardly complain when someone recommends the page for deletion (not necessarily suggesting that people whining are the same people who added the rubbish).

As for the section about his family life, he has stated this on his forum, and in numerous interviews in the past when asked about life after Digitiser, though I can't find a reliable citation right now.
