  • A Combinatorial Game Theoretic Analysis of Chess Endgames
    A COMBINATORIAL GAME THEORETIC ANALYSIS OF CHESS ENDGAMES QINGYUN WU, FRANK YU,¨ MICHAEL LANDRY 1. Abstract In this paper, we attempt to analyze Chess endgames using combinatorial game theory. This is a challenge, because much of combinatorial game theory applies only to games under normal play, in which players move according to a set of rules that define the game, and the last player to move wins. A game of Chess ends either in a draw (as in the game above) or when one of the players achieves checkmate. As such, the game of chess does not immediately lend itself to this type of analysis. However, we found that when we redefined certain aspects of chess, there were useful applications of the theory. (Note: We assume the reader has a knowledge of the rules of Chess prior to reading. Also, we will associate Left with white and Right with black). We first look at positions of chess involving only pawns and no kings. We treat these as combinatorial games under normal play, but with the modification that creating a passed pawn is also a win; the assumption is that promoting a pawn will ultimately lead to checkmate. Just using pawns, we have found chess positions that are equal to the games 0, 1, 2, ?, ", #, and Tiny 1. Next, we bring kings onto the chessboard and construct positions that act as game sums of the numbers and infinitesimals we found. The point is that these carefully constructed positions are games of chess played according to the rules of chess that act like sums of combinatorial games under normal play.

  • Call Numbers
    Call numbers: It is our recommendation that libraries NOT put J, +, E, Ref, etc. in the call number field in front of the Dewey or other call number. Use the Home Location field to indicate the collection for the item. It is difficult if not impossible to sort lists if the call number fields aren’t entered systematically. Dewey Call Numbers for Non-Fiction Each library follows its own practice for how long a Dewey number they use and what letters are used for the author’s name. Some libraries use a number (Cutter number from a table) after the letters for the author’s name. Other just use letters for the author’s name. Call Numbers for Fiction For fiction, the call number is usually the author’s Last Name, First Name. (Use a comma between last and first name.) It is usually already in the call number field when you barcode. Call Numbers for Paperbacks Each library follows its own practice. Just be consistent for easier handling of the weeding lists. WCTS libraries should follow the format used by WCTS for the items processed by them for your library. Most call numbers are either the author’s name or just the first letters of the author’s last name. Please DO catalog your paperbacks so they can be shared with other libraries. Call Numbers for Magazines To get the call numbers to display in the correct order by date, the call number needs to begin with the date of the issue in a number format, followed by the issue in alphanumeric format.

  • Season 6, Episode 4: Airstream Caravan Tukufu Zuberi
    Season 6, Episode 4: Airstream Caravan Tukufu Zuberi: Our next story investigates the exotic travels of this vintage piece of Americana. In the years following World War II, Americans took to the open road in unprecedented numbers. A pioneering entrepreneur named Wally Byam seized on this wanderlust. He believed his aluminium-skinned Airstream trailers could be vehicles for change, transporting Americans to far away destinations, and to a new understanding of their place in the world. In 1959, he dreamt up an outlandish scheme: to ship 41 Airstreams half way around the globe for a 14,000-mile caravan from Cape Town to the pyramids of Egypt. Nearly 50 years later, Doug and Suzy Carr of Long Beach, California, think these fading numbers and decal may mean their vintage Airstream was part of this modern day wagon train. Suzy: We're hoping that it's one of forty-one Airstreams that went on a safari in 1959 and was photographed in front of the pyramids. Tukufu: I’m Tukufu Zuberi, and I’ve come to Long Beach to find out just how mobile this home once was. Doug: Hi, how ya doing? Tukufu: I'm fine. How are you? I’m Tukufu Zuberi. Doug: All right. I'm Doug Carr. This is my wife Suzy. Suzy: Hey, great to meet you. Welcome to Grover Beach. Tukufu: How you doing? You know, this is a real funky cool pad. Suzy: It's about as funky as it can be. Tukufu: What do you have for me? Suzy: Well, it all started with a neighbor, and he called over and said, “I believe you have a really famous trailer.” He believed that ours was one of a very few that in 1959 had gone on a safari with Wally Byam.

Abstract: Stenting is a common method for treating atherosclerosis. A metal or polymer stent is deployed to open the stenosed artery or vein. After the stent is deployed, the blood flow dynamics influence the mechanics by compressing and expanding the structure. If the stent does not respond properly to the resulting stress, vascular wall injury or re-stenosis can occur. In this work, a Discrete Multiphysics modelling approach is used to study the mechanical deformation of the coronary stent and its relationship with the blood flow dynamics. The major parameters responsible for deforming the stent are sorted in terms of dimensionless numbers and a relationship between the elastic forces in the stent and pressure forces in the fluid is established. The blood flow and the stiffness of the stent material contribute significantly to the stent deformation and affect its rate of deformation. The stress distribution in the stent is not uniform with the higher stresses occurring at the nodes of the structure.

  • Chapter 5 Measurement Operational Definitions Numbers and Precision

A simple and accurate definition of measurement is the assignment of numbers to a variable in which we are interested. These numbers will provide the raw material for our statistical analysis. Measurement is so common and taken for granted that we seldom ask why we measure things or worry about the different forms that measurement may take. It is often not sufficient to describe a runner as “fast,” a basketball player as “tall,” a wrestler as “strong,” or a baseball hitter as “good.” If coaches recruited potential team members on the basis of these imprecise words, they would have difficulty holding down a job. Coaches want to know how fast the runner runs the 100-yard dash or the mile. They want to know exactly how tall the basketball player is, the strength of the wrestler, the batting average of the hitter. Measurement is a way of refining our ordinary observations so that we can assign numerical values to our observations. It allows us to go beyond simply describing the presence or absence of an event or thing to specifying how much, how long, or how intense it is.

  • Metric Entropy and Minimax Rates
    Journal of Machine Learning Research 22 (2021) 1-45 Submitted 6/20; Revised 12/20; Published 1/21 Optimal Structured Principal Subspace Estimation: Metric Entropy and Minimax Rates Tony Cai [email protected] Department of Statistics University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA Hongzhe Li [email protected] Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Informatics University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA Rong Ma [email protected] Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Informatics University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA Editor: Ambuj Tewari Abstract Driven by a wide range of applications, several principal subspace estimation problems have been studied individually under different structural constraints. This paper presents a uni- fied framework for the statistical analysis of a general structured principal subspace estima- tion problem which includes as special cases sparse PCA/SVD, non-negative PCA/SVD, subspace constrained PCA/SVD, and spectral clustering. General minimax lower and up- per bounds are established to characterize the interplay between the information-geometric complexity of the constraint set for the principal subspaces, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the dimensionality. The results yield interesting phase transition phenomena concern- ing the rates of convergence as a function of the SNRs and the fundamental limit for consistent estimation. Applying the general results to the specific settings yields the mini- max rates of convergence for those problems, including the previous unknown optimal rates for sparse SVD, non-negative PCA/SVD and subspace constrained PCA/SVD. Keywords: Low-rank matrix; Metric entropy; Minimax risk; Principal component anal- ysis; Singular value decomposition 1. Introduction Spectral methods such as the principal component analysis (PCA) and the singular value decomposition (SVD) are a ubiquitous technique in modern data analysis with a wide range of applications in many fields including statistics, machine learning, applied mathematics, and engineering.

The flows have been studied theoretically and the results compared with small-scale laboratory experiments.

A strong. stable stratification develops in this case and a displacement flow is maintained for a range of Froude numbers. The rate at which the enclosure drains increases as the wind-induced pressure drop between the inlet and outlet is increased and as the density difference between the exterior and interior environment is increased. A major result of this work is the identification of the form of the nonlinear relationship between the buoyancy and wind effects. It is shown that there is a Pythagorean relationship between the combined buoyancy and wind-driven velocity and the velocities which are produced by buoyancy and wind forces acting in isolation.

  • FAA Aviation News for an Article on Developing Your Indi- Vidual Personal Minimums.)
    More than Math Understanding Performance Limits DAVE SwaRTZ hate it when you complete the takeoff run hang- ing upside down from the seat belts. A few years ago, that happened to me, and I really should Ihave known better. You see, I’m an aeronautical engi- neer and I occasionally do performance calculations for a living, so I have no excuse. That fateful day the conditions looked marginal, so I looked at “the book.” It said I could make it. One of my mistakes was taking the book numbers too seriously. They didn’t take into account the tailwind I didn’t know I had. Since that day, I have been thinking and learn- ing a lot about what went wrong. I hope you find my mistakes useful in avoiding some of your own. According to the 2006 Nall Report, published by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association’s Air Safety Foundation (AOPA/ASF), about one out of six takeoff accidents is fatal. It’s sobering to realize that you have the same odds in Russian roulette. I am one of the lucky ones. Where Do Performance Numbers Come From? Honestly, it’s really a mixed bag. In the case of many older airplanes, the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) contains limited information at best. Yet, you can still be confident that most airplanes have been tested by steely-eyed test pilots to determine what the airplane can, and will, do under specific conditions. Then, engineers try to replicate what they think an average pilot will do. Engineers start with the takeoff distances that the test pilots achieve and correct them for things like density altitude and runway conditions.
