Understanding Depletion Forces beyond Entropy
The effective interaction energy of a colloidal sphere in a suspension containing small amounts of nonionic polymers and a flat glass surface has been measured and calculated using total internal reflection microscopy and a novel approach within density functional theory, respectively. Quantitative agreement between experiment and theory demonstrates that the resulting repulsive part of the dep...
متن کاملFormal models of "resource depletion".
The opportunity cost model (OCM) aims to explain various phenomena, among which the finding that performance degrades if executive functions are used repeatedly ("resource depletion"). We argue that an OCM account of resource depletion requires two unlikely assumptions, and we discuss an alternative that does not require these assumptions. This alternative model describes the interplay between ...
متن کاملResource Competition on Integral Polymatroids
We study competitive resource allocation problems in which players distribute their demands integrally on a set of resources subject to player-specific submodular capacity constraints. Each player has to pay for each unit of demand a cost that is a nondecreasing and convex function of the total allocation of that resource. This general model of resource allocation generalizes both singleton con...
متن کاملResource Competition and Forced Parallelization
One of the defining features of contemporary multi-core processors is that the cores share resources in the form of caches and memory buses. In this assignment, we study how this fact could impact the design of algorithms for perfectly parallel problems. We develop microbenchmarks to quantify the negative effects of resource competition on Abisko and also quantify the positive effects of the so...
متن کاملResource depletion through primate stone technology
Tool use has allowed humans to become one of the most successful species. However, tool-assisted foraging has also pushed many of our prey species to extinction or endangerment, a technology-driven process thought to be uniquely human. Here, we demonstrate that tool-assisted foraging on shellfish by long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, Thailand, reduces ...
