The Strategies for Simple One-Point Ko Situation of Computer Go
No full text[[abstract]]Ko plays a very important role in Go, but most computer Go programs still cannot handle ko fights so far. Utilizing the principle of Minimax procedure, we obtain the best strategies for the simple one-point ko situation, enabling computer Go programs to gain maximum or loss minimum profit when dealing with the simple one-point ko situation. We also discuss in detail the strategies for using ko threats during the process of the ko fight.
l Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On. I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On
No full textCommon Culture’s videos, I Can’t Go on, I’ll Go On, I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On (2016), strip down the conventions of televised stand-up comedy routines. The video works record two comedians performing for 40 mins, isolated and spot-lit on a small stage in an empty performance space, without an audience. Commissioned by Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston, where Dave was exhibited in Nothing Happens Twice: Artists Explore the Absurdity of Life the second part, Karen, was subsequently exhibited in Double Act: Art and Comedy at The Bluecoat, Liverpool
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Single- and Multi-carrier Quadrature Amplitude Modulation: Principles and Applications for Personal Communications, WATM and Broadcasting: 2nd
No full textSingle- and Multi-carrier Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Principles and Applications for Personal Communications, WLANs and Broadcasting L. Hanzo Department of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, UK W. Webb Motorola, Arlington Heights, USA formerly at Multiple Access Communications Ltd, Southampton, UK T. Keller Ubinetics, Cambridge Technology Centre, Melbourn, UK formerly at Department of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, UK Motivated by the rapid evolution of wireless communication systems, this expanded second edition provides an overview of most major single- and multi-carrier Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) techniques commencing with simple QAM schemes for the uninitiated through to complex, rapidly-evolving areas, such as arrangements for wide-band mobile channels. Targeted at the more advanced reader, the multi-carrier modulation based second half of the book presents a research-orientated outlook using a variety of novel QAM-based arrangements. * Features six new chapters dealing with the complexities of multi-carrier modulation which has found applications ranging from Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) to Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) * Provides a rudimentary introduction for readers requiring a background in the field of modulation and radio wave propagation * Discusses classic QAM transmission issues relevant to Gaussian channels * Examines QAM-based transmissions over mobile radio channels * Incorporates QAM-related orthogonal techniques, considers the spectral efficiency of QAM in cellular frequency re-use structures and presents a QAM-based speech communications system design study * Introduces Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) over both Gaussian and wideband fading channels By providing an all-encompassing self-contained treatment of single- and multi- carrier QAM based communications, a wide range of readers including senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, practising engineers and researchers alike will all find the coverage of this book attractive

Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Simplified cephalometric lines for the estimation of muscolar lines of action
No full textIn the study of masticatory muscle performance, one of the biomechanical variables that can be estimated is the mechanical advantage of the masticatory muscles, namely, the ratio between the muscular moment arm and the bite force moment arm. In the present study, the position of the estimated line of action of the masseter muscle, drawn between gonion and orbitale (Go-Or) relative to dental (occlusal plane) and skeletal (Frankfort plane) references was analyzed in 431 pretreatment lateral cephalograms of orthodontic patients (195 males, 236 females) aged 6 to 50 years, and in the lateral tracings of the Bolton standards (6 to 18 years of age). The following measurements were evaluated: (1) skeletocutaneous class (soft tissue equivalent of Wits appraisal, linear distance in millimeters between the projections of points A' and B' on the occlusal plane); (2) angle between the Go-Or line and the perpendicular to the occlusal plane at the molar occlusal point; and (3) angle between the Go-Or line and the Frankfort plane. In the patients, the skeletocutaneous class ranged between--14.5 and 15.5 mm, without any sex- or age-related differences. The angle between the Go-Or line and the perpendicular to the occlusal plane was, on average, 39 degrees (range 15 to 53 degrees), and it decreased with advancing age; while the average angle between Go-Or and Frankfort plane was 42 degrees (range 30 to 54 degrees), and it increased in older patients. No effects of sex were found. The two angles were significantly correlated to each other, while no correlations were found with the sagittal jaw discrepancy. Similar results were obtained on the Bolton tracings. Overall, the present cephalometric analogue could be useful in biomechanical simulations
