Choice and segmented interreinforcement intervals

The temporal organization of behavior on periodic food schedules.

Various theories of temporal control and schedule induction imply that periodic schedules temporally modulate an organism's motivational states within interreinforcement intervals. This speculation has been fueled by frequently observed multimodal activity distributions created by averaging across interreinforcement intervals. We tested this hypothesis by manipulating the cost associated with s...

segmented coronary artery aneurysms and kawasaki disease

kawasaki disease (kd) is an acute vasculitis syndrome of unknown etiology. it occurs in infants and young children, affecting mainly small and medium-sized arteries, particularly the coronary arteries. generalized microvasculitis occurs in the first 10 days, and the inflammation persists in the walls of medium and small arteries, especially the coronary arteries, and changes to coronary artery ...

Online Selection of Intervals and t-Intervals

A t-interval is a union of at most t half-open intervals on the real line. An interval is the special case where t = 1. Requests for contiguous allocation of a linear resource can be modeled as a sequence of t-intervals. We consider the problems of online selection of intervals and t-intervals, which show up in Video-on-Demand services, high speed networks and molecular biology, among others. W...
