In Italy, self-sufficiency in food is also a goal for the Fascist regime led by Benito Mussolini who attempted to re-establish Italy's former glory.

Arbitrarily varying channel Arbitrarily varying channel An arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) is a communication channel model used in coding theory, and was first introduced by Blackwell, Breiman, and Thomasian. This particular channel has unknown parameters that can change over time and these changes may not have a uniform pattern during the transmission of a codeword. formula_1 uses of this channel can be described using a stochastic matrix formula_2 formula_3, where formula_4 is the input alphabet, formula_5 is the output alphabet, and formula_6 is the probability over a given set of states formula_7, that the transmitted input formula_8 leads to the received output formula_9.
