GALLEYS AND RUNNERS

Galleys, Space, and Automata

The thread which runs through this article is the concept of a Finite State Automaton (FSA). It is introduced as a solution to the problem of how to specify and code the amount of vertical space to be left between the various type of item which can be placed upon the page. Several methods of coding FSA are described and compared. One solution is to store the transition table and other data in t...

Runners-up.

Garrett emphasized that all staff play a role in the streamlining effort and, more importantly, in the success of the university. “Whether we care for the campus grounds or maintain advanced research equipment, counsel students or manage payroll or process travel reimbursements, motivate donors or carry out the myriad of other ways and functions in which a research university operates, we are a...

Motion Capture For Runners

Exercise metabolism in runners.

The purpose of this study was to re-examine the commonly accepted association between high maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) values and the characteristics of metabolic adaptation to endurance training. The metabolic responses of 9 active males and 8 endurance trained females were observed during one hour of treadmill running at two speeds. One speed was common to both groups (3.58 m s-1. Test 1)...

Six Lonely Runners

For x real, let {x} be the fractional part of x (i.e. {x} = x − bxc). In this paper we prove the k = 5 case of the following conjecture (the lonely runner conjecture): for any k positive reals v1, . . . , vk there exists a real number t such that 1/(k + 1) ≤ {vit} ≤ k/(k + 1) for i = 1, . . . , k.
