The European Common Market and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade: A Study in Compatability
Gotland is famous around the world for its unique nature. The agriculture here has always been an important source of income and part of the identity of the island. But today the profession has low status and hard to survive. How can the interest for farming be increased? GotlandsgÄrden is an investigation about how the agriculture could develop. It strives to re-establish the status of the farmer profession and to become the node for the Gotland's farmers, inhabitants and the tourists.  an investigation about how the agriculture could develop.

Lantbruket hÀr har alltid varit en viktig inkomskÀlla och har alltid varit en viktig del i Gotlands identitet. Idag har inte bondeyrket samma rykte som förr och det Àr svÄrt att fÄ tillrÀckligt med elever till lantbruksskolan i Roma. Hur kan man öka intresset för yrket och Gotlands landsbygd. Det hÀr projektet Àr en undersökning i hur man genom arkitektoniska tillÀgg kan skapa en grön nod för Gotlands gröna nÀringar och lantbruksskola och pÄ det sÀttet blÄsa nytt liv i landsbygden pÄ Gotland

Distributional convergence for the number of symbol comparisons used by QuickSort
Most previous studies of the sorting algorithm QuickSort have used the number
of key comparisons as a measure of the cost of executing the algorithm. Here we
suppose that the n independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) keys are
each represented as a sequence of symbols from a probabilistic source and that
QuickSort operates on individual symbols, and we measure the execution cost as
the number of symbol comparisons. Assuming only a mild "tameness" condition on
the source, we show that there is a limiting distribution for the number of
symbol comparisons after normalization: first centering by the mean and then
dividing by n. Additionally, under a condition that grows more restrictive as p
increases, we have convergence of moments of orders p and smaller. In
particular, we have convergence in distribution and convergence of moments of
every order whenever the source is memoryless, that is, whenever each key is
generated as an infinite string of i.i.d. symbols. This is somewhat surprising;
even for the classical model that each key is an i.i.d. string of unbiased
("fair") bits, the mean exhibits periodic fluctuations of order n.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/12-AAP866 the Annals of
