    Since Bitcoin’s launch in early 2009, the industrial and academic interest in Blockchain and other cryptocurrencies have grown rapidly. Blockchains have been applied in many areas outside of finance such as healthcare, commerce and judiciary already. This technology promotes the creation of a decentralized environment where transactions and data are not under the control of any third-party organization. Blockchain is a fundamentally new technology that could revolutionize the future of transaction-based exchanges. Extensive research is being done in order to implement this technology various sectors. Blockchain technology comes with an edge of inbuilt auditability, trust and transfer of value which also makes it irresistible. This work explores an agent based Blockchain-based Education System through mathematical modeling and simulation tools. The model is constructed to explore how Blockchain technology can be used to verify credit score of students, identify the occurrence and prevention of potential attacks. Along with technical characteristics of Bitcoin and Blockchain; cost, time and behavioural considerations of the system are also made. This is followed by analysing of the number of transactions, size of blockchain, network efficiency, cost analysis of the system along with the network efficiency. The proposed model, based on the blockchain technology shifts the education grading and credit rewarding system from the analog and physical world into a globally efficient, transparent and universal version. The work contributes a foundation for advancing current understanding of blockchain systems, and to further the development of simulation models of blockchains

    Wooster Magazine: Winter 1986

    Get PDF
    This edition of the Wooster Magazine was published in the winter of 1986. The first article of the magazine, Inside Taylor Hall, explores the physics and mathematics departments at the College of Wooster. Taylor Hall and the departments housed within it are the main focus of this edition. The next section debates the usefulness and necessity of personal computers. Later articles discuss computer games, alumni careers in physics and math, the renovations done to Taylor Hall, and the role of machines in teaching. The Class Notes begin on page 46 and detail notes from classes all the way back to 1916. Births and obituaries are also listed.https://openworks.wooster.edu/wooalumnimag_1981-1990/1019/thumbnail.jp

    Cost Allocation: Methods, Principles, Applications

    Get PDF
    This book provides a theoretical framework for systematically evaluating the "pros" and "cons" of various methods. It also includes a series of case studies in cost allocation to give a sense of the real problems encountered in implementation. Among the examples treated are telecommunications pricing, multipurpose reservoir charges, and airport landing fees. Finally several articles address the broader fairness issues inherent in the pricing of public services. The history of the notion of the "just price" from medieval to modern times is discussed, together with observations on what principles seem to guide decisions in telecommunications rate cases in the United States. The connections between cost allocation, efficiency, and entry in the telecommunications market are also examined in two different contexts: the U.S. and France. The overall aim of the book is to provide theoretical foundations for using specific methods, to examine the distributional and fairness issues involved in cost allocation, and to give a sense of the practical problems encountered in implementation. The book will appeal to practitioners interested in what allocation methods are available, and to theorists concerned with their axiomatic foundations

    A zip file of various literature searches & some resources related to our work related to exposure after the Chernobyl accident and as we began looking at helping in Semey Kazakhstan----a collection of literature reviews on various topics we were interested in... eg. establishing a registry of those exposed for longterm follow-up, what we knew about certain areas like genetics and some resources like A Guide to Environmental Resources on the Internet by Carol Briggs-Erickson and Toni Murphy which could be found on the Internet and was written to be used by researchers, environmentalists, teachers and any person who is interested in knowing and doing something about the health of our planet.
