The coincidence of the kernel and nucleolus of a convex game: an alternative proof

In 1972, Maschler, Peleg and Shapley proved that in the class of convex the nucleolus and the kernel coincide. The only aim of this note is to provide a shorter, alternative proof of this result.

Sistema konkurrenteak simulatzeko kernel bat: multiprozesadore sistemak

Jarraian, hainbat hilabetetan zehar garatutako proiektuaren deskribapena biltzen duen memoria dugu eskuragarri. Proiektu hau, sistema konkurrenteen simulazioan zentratzen da eta horretarako, mota honetako sistemen arloan hain erabiliak diren Petri Sareak lantzeaz gain, simulatzaile bat programatzeko informazio nahikoa ere barneratzen ditu. Gertaera diskretuko simulatzaile estatistiko batean oinarrituko da proiektuaren garapena, helburua izanik Petri Sareen bidez formalizatzen diren sistemak simulatzeko softwarea osatzea. Proiektuaren helburua da objektuetara zuzendutako hizkuntzaren bidez, Java hizkuntzaren bidez alegia, simulatzailearen programazioa erraztea eta ingurune honen baliabideak erabiltzea, bereziki XML teknologiari lotutakoak. Proiektu hau, bi zati nagusitan banatzen dela esan daiteke. Lehenengo zatiari dagokionez, konputazio munduan simulazioa aurkeztu eta honi buruzko behar adina informazio emango da. Hau, oso erabilgarria izango da programatuko den simulatzailearen nondik norakoak ulertu eta klase desberdinen inplementazioa egin ahal izateko. Horrez gain, zorizko aldagaiak eta hauen simulazioa ere islatzen dira, simulazio prozesu hori ahalik eta era errealean gauzatzeko helburuarekin. Ondoren, Petri Sareak aurkeztuko dira, hauen ezaugarri eta sailkapen desberdinak goraipatuz. Gainera, Petri Sareak definitzeko XML lengoaia erabiliko denez, mota honetako dokumentu eta eskemak aztertuko dira, hauek, garatuko den aplikazioaren oinarri izango direlarik. Bestalde, aplikazioaren muin izango diren klaseen diseinu eta inplementazioak bildu dira azken aurreko kapituluan. Alde batetik, erabili den DOM egituraren inguruko informazioa islatzen da eta bestetik, XML-tik habiatuz lortuko diren PetriNet instantziak maneiatzeko ezinbestekoak diren Java klaseen kodeak erakusten dira. Amaitzeko, egileak ateratako ondorioez gain, proiektuaren garapen prozesuan erabili den bibliografiaren berri ere ematen da.

Genetic evidence of two sibling species within the Contracoecum ogmorhini Johnson & Mawson 1941 complex (Nematoda; Anisakidae) from otariid seals in boreal and austral regions

Genetic variation of Contracaecum ogmorhini (sensu lato) populations from different otariid seals of the northern and southern hemisphere was studied on the basis of 18 enzyme loci as well as preliminary sequence analysis of the mitochondrial cyt b gene (260 bp). Samples were collected from Zalophus californianus in the boreal region and from Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus, A. pusillus doriferus and A. australis from the austral region. Marked genetic heterogeneity was found between C. ogmorhini (sensu lato) samples from the boreal and austral region, respectively. Two loci (Mdh-2 and NADHdh) showed fixed differences and a further three loci (Iddh, Mdh-1 and 6Pgdh) were highly differentiated between boreal and austral samples. Their average genetic distance was DNei = 0.36 at isozyme level. At mitochondrial DNA level, an average proportion of nucleotide substitution of 3.7% was observed. These findings support the existence of two distinct sibling species, for which the names C. ogmorhini (sensu stricto) and C. margolisi n. sp., respectively, for the austral and boreal taxon, are proposed. A description for C. margolisi n. sp. is provided. No diagnostic morphological characters have so far been detected; on the other hand, two enzyme loci, Mdh-2 and NADHdh, fully diagnostic between the two species, can be used for the routine identification of males, females and larval stages. Mirounga leonina was found to host C. ogmorhini (s.s.) inmixed infections with C. osculatum (s.l.) (of which C. ogmorhini (s.l.) was in the past considered to be a synonym) and C. miroungae; no hybrid genotypes were found,confirming the reproductive isolation of these three anisakid species. The hosts and geographical range so far recorded for C. margolisi n. sp. and C. ogmorhini (s.s.) are given.
