Slightly More Realistic Personal Probability
نویسنده
چکیده
A person required to risk money on a remote digit of n would, in order to comply fully with the theory [of personal probability] have to compute that digit, though this mould really be wasteful if the cost of computation were more than the prize involved. For the postulates of the theory imply that you should behave in accordance with the logical implications of all that you know. Is it possible to improve the theory in this respect, making allowance within it for the cost of thinking, or would that entail paradox?*

The Effect of Handoff Dwell Time on the Mobile Network Performance
In this paper, we have studied the impact of the handoff dwell time (HDT) on the channel holding time (CHT) modeling and examined how it affects the mobile network performance evaluation. Realistic mobility model is constructed that includes the effect of HDT and we derive the important relationship between the critical parameters such as cell residence time (CRT), call holding time, CHT and HD...
متن کاملImprovements on a simple muscle-based 3D face for realistic facial expressions - Computer Animation and Social Agents, 2003. 16th International Conference on
Facial expressions play an important role in face-to-face communication. With the development of personal computers capable of rendering high quality graphics, computer facial animation has produced more and more realistic facial expressions to enrich human-computer communication. In this paper, we present a simple muscle-based 3D face model that can produce realistic facial expressions in real...
متن کاملSummary the Myth of " the Myth of Fingerprints " Mcm Contest Question A
For over a century, fingerprints have been a nearly undisputed personal identifier, and have consequently found much practical use in criminal investigations. The 1993 Daubert v. Merrill Dow Pharmaceutical rulings that clarify what constitutes scientifically admissible evidence have sparked a new interest in verifying that fingerprints are truly unique from person to person. Consequently, we se...
متن کاملWeak gravitational lensing effects on the determination of Ωm and ΩΛ from SNeIa
In this article we present an analytical calculation of the probability distribution of the magnification of distant sources due to weak gravitational lensing from non-linear scales. We use a realistic description of the non-linear density field, which has already been compared with numerical simulations of structure formation within hierarchical scenarios. Then, we can directly express the pro...
