A little advice can be very helpful
Proving superpolylogarithmic lower bounds for dynamic data structures has remained an open problem despite years of research. Recently, Pǎtraşcu proposed an exciting new approach for breaking this barrier via a two player communication model in which one player gets private advice at the beginning of the protocol. He gave reductions from the problem of solving an asymmetric version of set-disjo...
متن کاملHarmful singlet oxygen can be helpful.
Highly reactive harmful singlet oxygen O2(1delta(g)) can be helpful while relaxing to its triplet ground state O2(3sigma(g)-). The energy emitted during this relaxation from the excited energy state is discernable at 634 nm. We report here on the effect of this energy as photon illumination and as energy transfer in air on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by human monocytes, meas...
متن کاملHow Can IR Help Mechanisms Be More Helpful to Users?
The Help system is often the only resource that users can consult when they are faced with problems associated with the use of IR systems of all types, including web search engines, digital libraries, online databases, and other systems. Despite the importance of Help systems in interactive IR, people use this resource infrequently, for a variety of reasons that are not fully understood. In thi...
متن کاملWhen Younger Learners Can Be Better (or at Least More Open- Minded) Than Older Ones
We describe a surprising developmental pattern across three different kinds of problems and age ranges. Younger learners are better than older ones at learning unusual abstract causal principles from evidence. We explore two factors that might contributecausal principles from evidence. We explore two factors that might contribute to this counter-...
متن کاملRandom Walks, Interacting Particles, Dynamic Networks: Randomness Can Be Helpful
The aim of this article is to discuss some applications of random processes in searching and reaching consensus on finite graphs. The topics covered are: Why random walks?, Speeding up random walks, Random and deterministic walks, Interacting particles and voting, Searching changing graphs. As an introductory example consider the self-stabilizing mutual exclusion algorithm of Israeli and Jalfon...
