P-Centers on Bitrees

Article Abstract:

Regional planning location problems can have transport cost or travel time as a major element. Network location theory is fairly new. It is often applied to general networks and is frequently intractable in computation. Efficient solutions can be found for networks resembling trees with or without cycles. The usefulness of bitree networks is explained. The regional planning program where road networks and social service centers for the Dharampur area in India were created using such a tree structure. Star-like trees are evidenced by a few United States airline networks. Illustrations of a bitree network are featured. An algorithm, BICOVER, is specified using a string model. Customer location assumptions are carefully analyzed. Lemmas and proofs of the theory are included.

Spotlight on the Silk Road

Article Abstract:

Archaeology along the Silk Road in Xinjiang, China, has recently been accelerating in pace. Oil discoveries in the region have prompted more archaeological surveys and salvage work, and China has also become more willing to cooperate with foreign researchers. In the ancient city of Loulan, important discoveries have included wooden slips called 'mu-jian' with Chinese writing on them and documents in Karoshti, an Indo-European language. Buddhist cave frescoes in Dunhuang, Bezeklik and Kizil have also been a focus of research.

Anti-capitalism

Article Abstract:

Facilities in the South-east are becoming more popular because clients do not have to contend with the traffic, noise and generally unrelaxed atmosphere of Soho, London. Many facilities advertise their outside-London sites using these arguments and expect their workload to increase because ex-television producers live in the same regions. Commercial work is expected to remain in Soho because the location suits the agencies.
