Information–movement coupling in developing cricketers under changing ecological practice constraints

Reproductive decisions under ecological constraints: it's about time.

The switch point theorem (SPT) is the quantitative statement of the hypothesis that stochastic effects on survival, mate encounter, and latency affect individuals' time available for mating, the mean and variance in fitness, and thus, originally favored the evolution of individuals able to make adaptively flexible reproductive decisions. The SPT says that demographic stochasticity acting throug...

Mining Data Streams under Dynamicly Changing Resource Constraints

Due to the inherent characteristics of data streams, appropriate mining techniques heavily rely on window-based processing and/or (approximating) data summaries. Because resources such as memory and CPU time for maintaining such summaries are usually limited, the quality of the mining results is affected in different ways. Based on Frequent Itemset Mining and an according Change Detection as se...
