Solving Amazons *
We present a method of exhaustively solving the popular combinatorial game Amazons in a parallel setting. The game has a high branching factor with high overlap, making it difficult to search in parallel. We exploit some structural properties of game positions to minimise game tree expansion, and use a parallel breadth-first search algorithm on the game tree. Throughput is maximised by allowing...
متن کاملThe Psychology of the Naturalist
Probably primitive man recognised the value of birds as food well before his mind became capable of understanding his jealousy of their powers of flight. That humans have long considered flying to be desirable is shown by early artists portraying angels, as spiritual super-humans, with functional wings; also, Peoples such as the Assyrians carved bulls complete with wings, thus representing both...
متن کاملExperiments in Computer Amazons
Amazons is a relatively new game with some similarities to the ancient games of chess and Go. The game has become popular recently with combinatorial games researchers as well as in the computer games community. Amazons combines global full-board with local combinatorial game features. In the opening and early middle game, the playing pieces roam freely across the whole board, but later in the ...

—Ascertaining the functions bird song requires information about when and where a song or, for males with multisong repertoires, songs are used. Because the need for and type of communication with mates and conspecifics changes with breeding stage and social context, detailed observations may reveal differential use of song or of different song types. Our objective was to examine the use, and d...
متن کاملThe American Midland Naturalist
—Defining the trophic position of stream organisms is a first step in understanding the ecology of lotic systems. Whereas trophic positions of stream fishes have been traditionally assigned based on dietary analysis, stable isotope ratios may provide additional information on the validity of this approach and may be used to verify energy acquisition assumed from dietary studies. In this study, ...
