The Union of Probabilistic Boxes: Maintaining the Volume
Yıldız, Hakan; Hershberger, John; Suri, Subhash (2011-01-01)
Suppose we have a set of n axis-aligned rectangular boxes in d-space, {B-1, B-2,..., B-n}, where each box B-i is active (or present) with an independent probability pi. We wish to compute the expected volume occupied by the union of all the active boxes. Our main result is a data structure for maintaining the expected volume over a dynamic family of such probabilistic boxes at an amortized cost of O(n((d-1)/2) log n) time per insert or delete. The core problem turns out to be one-dimensional: we present a n...

The Critique of liberal peace building in Iraq (2003-2011)
Sarı, Gamze; Torun, Zerrin; Department of International Relations (2019)
The number of scholars has determined that international peacebuilding in post- conflict regions reflects a liberal agenda in the post-Cold War era. However, recent studies on international peacebuilding revealed that liberal peacebuilding had not attained the intended aim of helping post-conflict societies to turn from conflict to self-sustaining peace. Therefore, liberal peacebuilding has created debates and controversies. This thesis reviews the critical approaches to peacebuilding to address the limitat...
