This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Algorithmic Number Theory, ANTS-III, held in Portland, Oregon, USA, in June 1998. The volume presents 46 revised full papers together with two invited surveys. The papers are organized in chapters on gcd algorithms, primality, factoring, sieving, analytic number theory, cryptography, linear algebra and lattices, series and sums, algebraic number fields, class groups and fields, curves, and function fields.
This book is interesting and full of new ideas. It provokes the curiosity of the readers. The book targets both researchers and practitioners. The students and the researchers will acquire knowledge about ant colony optimization and its possible applications as well as practitioners will find new ideas and solutions of their combinatorial optimization and decision-making problems. Ant colony optimization is between the best method for solving difficult optimization problems arising in real life and industry. It has obtained distinguished results on some applications with very restrictive constraints. The reader will find theoretical aspects of ant method as well as applications on a variety of problems. The following applications could be mentioned: multiple knapsack problem, which is an important economical problem; grid scheduling problem; GPS surveying problem; E. coli cultivation modeling; wireless sensor network positioning; image edges detection; workforce planning.
The genetic era has given rise to significant legal dilemmas: who may own genetic data, when can a genetic test be performed on children, how can genetic-based discrimination be avoided, or to what extent and in what ways can genetic data be protected? The book addresses the social, ethical, and legal implications of collecting, storing, analyzing, and commercializing genetic information. Prominent biologists, medical doctors, lawyers, anthropologists, philosophers, sociologists, and theologians from different countries provide their views on the complex biological and social impacts of the imminent proliferation of genetic information. The authors explore the various uses and applications of genetic information, and discuss the current dilemmas of making laws in the field of genetics. Different models of national genome projects and biobanks, as well as the related international legal documents and national laws are also discussed. Various genome projects and biobanks are analyzed in detail.
