Six types of weight changes that occur when food is cooked by different methods are described. For five of these types, true retentions of nutrients (defined as calculations based on nutrient content of known weights of food before and after cooking) were compared with apparent retentions (defined as calculations based on nutrient content of moisture-free raw and cooked foods). Comparisons incl...

Copy Summary: Repetitions that are distributed over time benefit long‐term retention more than when massed. Recent research has suggested that the advantage of spacing may extend to induction learning–learners were better able to identify the artists of previously unseen paintings when, during training, artists’ paintings were spaced (paintings by different artists were interleaved) rather than...

Randomized incremental constructions are widely used in computational geometry, but they perform very badly on large data because of their inherently random memory access patterns. We define an insertion order which removes enough randomness to significantly improve performance, but leaves enough randomness so that the algorithms remain theoretically optimal.
