A gambler moves on the vertices 1, . . . , n of a graph using the probability distribution p1, . . . , pn. A cop pursues the gambler on the graph, only being able to move between adjacent vertices. What is the expected number of moves that the gambler can make until the cop catches them? Komarov and Winkler proved an upper bound of approximately 1.97n for the expected capture time on any connec...

This research examines the impact of financial development on economic growth. Using a sample 152 observations from 13 countries in Asia Pacific for period 2004 and 2020, we find that positively impacts growth, supporting finance-growth hypothesis, especially capital market sector. provides policy implications positive relationship between growth suggests policymakers should take necessary move...

A recent study in Saudi Arabia uncovered certain prevalent health-risk behaviors in the adolescent population. One of the most prevalent behaviors identified by this study is health-risk dietary behavior. In general, adolescents in Saudi Arabia reported poor dietary behaviors. Adolescents in Saudi Arabia have received minimal attention over the past decades. This study aims to examine the effic...

In Go, an important factor that hinders search is the large branching factor, even in local problems. Human players are strong at recognizing frequently occurring shapes and vital points. This allows them to select the most promising moves and to prune the search tree. In this paper we argue that many of these shapes can be represented as relational concepts. We present an application of the re...

The Southern Ocean has absorbed most of the excess heat associated with anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Since observations are sparse in certain regions and seasons, much our knowledge ocean uptake is based on climate model simulations. However, models still inadequately represent some properties clouds, they have not identified mechanisms by which clouds may affect (SOHU). Here, we use...
