Numerical landmarks are useful--except when they're not.
Placing landmarks on number lines, such as marking each tenth on a 0-1 line with a hatch mark and the corresponding decimal, has been recommended as a useful tool for improving children's number sense. Four experiments indicated that some landmarks do have beneficial effects, others have harmful effects, and yet others have no effects on representations of common fractions (N/M). The effects of...
متن کاملSpecialization Does Not Predict Individual Efficiency in an Ant
The ecological success of social insects is often attributed to an increase in efficiency achieved through division of labor between workers in a colony. Much research has therefore focused on the mechanism by which a division of labor is implemented, i.e., on how tasks are allocated to workers. However, the important assumption that specialists are indeed more efficient at their work than gene...
متن کاملWhen tabling does not work
Tabled execution has been successfully applied in various domains such as program analysis, model checking, parsing, . . . A recent target of tabling is the optimization of Inductive Logic Programming. Due to the iterative nature of ILP algorithms, queries evaluated by these algorithms typically show a lot of similarity. To avoid repeated execution of identical parts of queries, answers to the ...
متن کاملExpected Path Degradation when Searching over a Sparse Grid Hierarchy
The traditional focus of combinatorial search research is to speed up the search algorithm. An alternative, however, is to create a sparser representation of the search space. This relates to the idea of spanners from graph theory. These are subgraphs which retain paths between any two vertices of the original graph while guaranteeing a maximum stretch in path length. In practice, the path degr...
متن کاملWhen is the Critical Path Not the Most Critical Path?
This paper challenges the conventional thinking, by proposing a new way to understand and use the term critical-path. At stake is much more than a semantic discussion of terminology. Numerous surveys have confirmed that CPM schedules are used for two primary reasons: project management and dispute resolution. To support either use, the critical-path must be identifiable in a consistent, objecti...
