Chess is a strategic game in which players recognize the threats to their pieces and their opponents' pieces at any given time. Players also evaluate the affect each move will have on the balance of power in the game. Novice players often fail to detect threatened pieces of either color. They also find prediction difficult and frequently neglect to think ahead about the negative ramifications o...

cooperation is the foundation of many protocols in wireless networks. without cooperation, the performance of a network significantly decreases. hence, all nodes in traditional networks are required to cooperate with each other. in this paper, instead of traditional networks, a network of rational and autonomous nodes is considered, which means that each node itself can decide whether to cooper...

We propose an algorithm that computes the ε-correlated equilibria with global-optimal (i.e., maximum) expected social welfare for single stage polynomial games. We first derive an infinite-dimensional formulation of ε-correlated equilibria using Kantorovich polynomials and re-express it as a polynomial positivity constraint. In addition, we exploit polynomial sparsity to achieve a leaner proble...

football participation requires considerable utilization of both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems to match the high energetic demands of the sport. the consequent stresses imposed on the physiological and metabolic systems carries players to the threshold of exhaustion during match-play, from which they are required to recover in preparation for the subsequent game. a high number of players...

Abstract   Vertical cooperative (co-op) advertising is typically a cost sharing mechanism and coordinated effort by the channel’s members in order to increase demand and overall profits. In this marketing strategy, the manufacturer shares a fraction of the retailer’s advertising investment. This paper studies the advertising and pricing decisions in a retailer-manufacturer supply chain in which...

Serious video games have been proposed as a means to engage students with the Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) curriculum, but there is limited research on the required game elements and teaching practices. In particular, there is limited evidence on the effects of the storytelling element and of student involvement in making games on the learning performance and on the atti...

The implementation of a computer game for learning about geography by primary school students is the focus of this article. Researchers designed and developed a three-dimensional educational computer game. Twenty four students in fourth and fifth grades in a private school in Ankara, Turkey learnt about world continents and countries through this game for three weeks. The effects of the game en...
