Run or Hide? Fixed and Moving Targets
We examine the time it takes for a random walk to hit an adversarial moving target. This problem was introduced by Aldous and Fill as the “cat and mouse” game. They conjectured that for every graph hitting an optimally moving target takes as long in expectation as hitting an optimally placed stationary target. We show this conjecture is false by presenting an instance of a graph where it takes ...
متن کاملBetter Software Effort Estimation—A Matter of Skill or Environment?
Estimating the effort of software development is fraught with difficulties, and it is clear that effort should be invested in improving the accuracy and the reliability (consistency) of effort estimates, as well as the assessment of estimate uncertainty. However, it is less clear where to target such improvement efforts. We discuss the degree to which it is feasible to improve the expertise of ...
متن کاملMoving Targets
In addition to its well-known role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) has continued to fascinate both researchers and clinicians because of the several additional functions that it has been proposed to carry out. Disruption of the production or action of angiotensin II (Ang II) during development, either by gene mutation or by pharmac...
متن کاملPredicting intertidal organism temperatures with modified land surface models
Animals and plants in the marine intertidal zone live at the interface between terrestrial and marine environments. This zone is likely to be a sensitive indicator of the effects of climate change in coastal ecosystems, because of several key characteristics including steep environmental gradients, rapid temperature changes during tide transitions, fierce competition for limited space, and a co...
متن کاملPredicting Performance and Creating Better Student Proficiency Models by Improving Skill Codings
Interest in end-of-year accountability exams has increased dramatically since the passing of the NCLB law in 2001. This push has impacted educational research in a wide variety of ways, including a strong desire to be able to model student work in order to make conclusive statements about what students know and how this relates to how they will perform on end-of-year standardized exams. This th...
