From pigsties to hog heaven?
In the continuing transformation of U.S. agriculture, North Carolina finds itself on the front edge of change. Between 1989 and 1998, the number of hogs in the state's pork industry quintupled---and so has the amount of hog waste that must be disposed of. Now the state has engaged private and public resources in a rapid search for better ways for handling hog waste. A technology review panel ha...
متن کاملKids swallowing pennies.
Kids Swallowing Pennies Doctors at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, have learned that a penny saved isn't always a good thing, particularly if that penny was minted after 1982. A team of doctors found that children who swallow post-1982 pennies may develop stomach ulcers if the coins become lodged in their digestive tracts. More than 21,000 children visited the emergenc...
متن کاملQuantum Matching Pennies Game
A quantum version of the Matching Pennies (MP) game is proposed that is set in an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm (EPR-Bohm) setting. We construct the quantum game without using the state vectors and while considering only the quantum mechanical joint probabilities relevant to the EPR-Bohm setting. We embed the classical game within the quantum game such that the classical MP game results when the...
متن کاملTipping Pennies ? Privately . Practical Anonymous
We design and analyze the first practical anonymous payment mechanisms for network services. We start by reporting on our experience with the implementation of a routing micropayment solution for Tor. We then propose micropayment protocols of increasingly complex requirements for networked services, such as p2p or cloud-hosted services. The solutions are efficient, with bandwidth and latency ov...
متن کاملTesting randomness by Matching Pennies
In the game of Matching Pennies, Alice and Bob each hold a penny, and at every tick of the clock they simultaneously display the head or the tail sides of their coins. If they both display the same side, then Alice wins Bob’s penny; if they display different sides, then Bob wins Alice’s penny. To avoid giving the opponent a chance to win, both players seem to have nothing else to do but to rand...
