7. Malthus and the Problem of Population
One of the central beliefs of classical economic theory was that there is an inexorable tendency for population to press against the available natural resources, especially those providing the food supply. This doctrine, though not originating with him, was eloquently expressed by Thomas Robert Malthas (1766-1834) in an essay which first appeared in 1798. Malthus, a high-ranking graduate of Cambridge University, was a clergyman in the Church of England before he became a professor of history and political economy at the East India College, Haileybury, in 1805. This college had just been established by the British East India Company to train men for its service in Asia. Malthus, one of the first persons ever to hold a professorship in economics, continued in this post for the remainder of his life. [excerpt
Supersaturation Problem for the Bowtie
The Tur\'an function denotes the maximal number of edges in an
-free graph on vertices. We consider the function , the
minimal number of copies of in a graph on vertices with
edges. The value of has been extensively studied when is
bipartite or colour-critical. In this paper we investigate the simplest
remaining graph , namely, two triangles sharing a vertex, and establish the
asymptotic value of for .Comment: 23 pages, 1 figur

Possible solution to the Li problem by the long lived stau
Modification of standard big-bang nucleosynthesis is considered in the
minimal supersymmetric standard model to resolve the excessive theoretical
prediction of the abundance of primordial lithium 7. We focus on the stau as a
next-lightest superparticle, which is long lived due to its small mass
difference with the lightest superparticle. It provides a number of additional
decay processes of and . A particularly
important process is the internal conversion in the stau-nucleus bound state,
which destroys the and effectively. We show
that the modification can lead to a prediction consistent with the observed
abundance of .Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
