Gendering Legislative Behavior : Institutional Constraints and Collaboration
In democracies, power is obtained via competition. Yet, as women gain access to parliaments in record numbers, worldwide collaboration appears to be on the rise.This is puzzling: why, if politicians can secure power through competition, would we observe collaboration in Congress?Using evidence from 200 interviews with politicians from Argentina and a novel dataset from 23 Argentine legislative chambers over an 18-year period, Gendering Legislative Behavior reexamines traditional notions of competitive democracy by evaluating patterns of collaboration among legislators.Although only the majority can secure power via competition, all legislators - particularly those who do not have power - can influence the policy-making process through collaboration.Tiffany D. Barnes argues that as women have limited access to formal and informal political power, they collaborate more than men to influence policy-making.Despite the benefits of collaboration, patterns of collaboration vary among women because different legislative contexts either facilitate or constrain women's collaboration.

Mathematical Programs with Equilibrium Constraints
This book provides a solid foundation and an extensive study for an important class of constrained optimization problems known as Mathematical Programs with Equilibrium Constraints (MPEC), which are extensions of bilevel optimization problems.The book begins with the description of many source problems arising from engineering and economics that are amenable to treatment by the MPEC methodology.Error bounds and parametric analysis are the main tools to establish a theory of exact penalisation, a set of MPEC constraint qualifications and the first-order and second-order optimality conditions.The book also describes several iterative algorithms such as a penalty-based interior point algorithm, an implicit programming algorithm and a piecewise sequential quadratic programming algorithm for MPECs.Results in the book are expected to have significant impacts in such disciplines as engineering design, economics and game equilibria, and transportation planning, within all of which MPEC has a central role to play in the modelling of many practical problems.

How do you establish kinematic constraints?
Kinematic constraints are established by defining the relationships between the motion of different parts of a system. This can be done by specifying the allowable range of motion for each part, as well as any restrictions on their relative positions or velocities. Kinematic constraints can also be implemented through mathematical equations that describe the relationships between the motion variables of the system. By carefully defining these constraints, we can accurately model the behavior of the system and predict its motion under different conditions.

What are the extrema under constraints?
Extrema under constraints refer to the maximum or minimum values of a function subject to certain conditions or restrictions. These constraints can be in the form of equations or inequalities that limit the possible values of the variables. Finding extrema under constraints involves optimizing the function while satisfying these restrictions, which often requires the use of techniques such as Lagrange multipliers or substitution methods. The solutions obtained in this way represent the highest or lowest values that the function can achieve within the given constraints.

Problem Soils : Constraints and Management
This is a unique book that deals with the problem soils, their constraints and management in the Indian context.The book starts with the introduction on problem soils and the classification of these soils are included there under.In India, there is wide spread occurrence of soils with different types of constraints for crop production.Such soils are popularly called as “Problem Soils”. Cultivation in these soils is not so easy as several problems have to be tackled during cultivation.It may be either soil droughtiness or acidity or salinity etc.An attempt has been made in this book to cover most of the problematic soils in India.The classification of problem soils has been done based on the limitations they possess and the most dominant limitation is taken into consideration for grouping it under a particular class.Here five broader classes have been identified viz., soils with climatic problems; soils with physical problems; soils with chemical problems; soils with biological problems and soils with problems due to anthropogenic reasons. Note: Taylor and Francis does not sell or distribute the print editions of this title in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

The Constitutionalization of European Budgetary Constraints
The recently enacted Treaty on the Stability, Coordination and Governance of the Economic and Monetary Union (generally referred to as the Fiscal Compact) has introduced a 'golden rule', which is a detailed obligation that government budgets be balanced.Moreover, it required the 25 members of the EU which signed the Treaty in March 2012, to incorporate this 'golden rule' within their national Constitutions.This requirement represents a major and unprecedented development, raising formidable challenges to the nature and legitimacy of national Constitutions as well as to the future of the European integration project.This book analyses the new constitutional architecture of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), examines in a comparative perspective the constitutionalization of budgetary rules in the legal systems of the Member States, and discusses the implications of these constitutional changes for the future of democracy and integration in the EU.By combining insights from law and economics, comparative institutional analysis and legal theory, the book offers a comprehensive survey of the constitutional incorporation of new fiscal and budgetary rules across Europe and a systematic normative discussion of the legitimacy issues at play.It thus contributes to a better understanding of the Euro-crisis, of the future of the EU, and the reforms needed towards a deeper and genuine EMU.

How to solve extremum problems with constraints?
To solve extremum problems with constraints, one can use the method of Lagrange multipliers. This method involves setting up a system of equations where the gradient of the objective function is proportional to the gradient of the constraint function. By solving this system of equations, one can find the values of the variables that satisfy both the objective function and the constraint. This allows for finding the maximum or minimum value of the objective function while adhering to the given constraints.

How do you set up kinematic constraints?
To set up kinematic constraints, you first need to identify the relationship between the objects or parts that you want to constrain. Then, you can use software tools such as CAD programs or physics engines to define the constraints based on this relationship. Common types of kinematic constraints include revolute joints, prismatic joints, and fixed joints, which restrict the motion of the objects in specific ways. By applying these constraints, you can simulate realistic movements and interactions between the objects in your system.

How does stochastic person assignment with constraints work?
Stochastic person assignment with constraints involves randomly assigning individuals to different groups while adhering to specific constraints or limitations. This method uses a probabilistic approach to allocate people to groups, ensuring that each person has an equal chance of being assigned to any group while still meeting the predefined constraints. By incorporating randomness into the assignment process, stochastic person assignment with constraints helps to create fair and unbiased group allocations, especially in situations where there are multiple criteria or restrictions to consider.
