are disappointing." The difference in the style of writing is most marked. At tines our interest has been more than held by the lucidity and the simplicity of the papers, whilst at others our amusement has been but stimulated by the very pedantry exhibited. Dr. James Welsh in his article on "Disease Simulation'' inveighs against the use of other than simple words, remarking on page 66 of Vol. 1...

Opponent Modeling in Machiavelli

Opponent modeling is a technique in computer game-playing which attempts to create a model of an opponent’s strategy. This model can then be used to predict the opponent’s future actions. This paper attempts to apply opponent modeling to the commercial card game Machiavelli, a game containing imperfect information. Neural networks are used to build the models. These neural networks are trained ...

We present preliminary results of a new lattice computation of hadronic matrix elements of baryon number violating operators which appear in the low-energy effective Lagrangian of (SUSY-)Grand Unified Theories. The contribution of irrelevant form factor which has caused an underestimate of the matrix elements in previous studies is subtracted in this calculation. Our results are 2∼4 times large...

We give an example of a spacetime having an infinite thin rotating cylindrical shell constituted by a charged perfect fluid as a source. As the interior of the shell the Bonnor–Melvin universe is considered, while its exterior is represented by Datta– Raychaudhuri spacetime. We discuss the energy conditions and we show that our spacetime contains closed timelike curves. Trajectories of charged ...
