Nicholas de Grandmaison and companions camping.
No full textBlack-and-white photograph of Nicholas de Grandmaison sitting around a fire pit with his son Rick, an unidentified man and four boys. Everyone is sitting on the ground except two of the boys. A picnic basket containing dishes is open on the ground. Several empty dishes are on the ground and it appears they have just eaten a meal. Nicholas de Grandmaison is wearing a shirt, bolo tie and buckskin jacket. Rick is wearing a light colored shirt with the sleeves rolled up and jeans. The other man is wearing a light colored shirt, sleeves rolled up, trousers, cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. The four boys are wearing trousers, long sleeves shirts with suspenders and hats. The is a tent with the flaps open behind them. There is something that appears to be a reflective panel standing up behind Nicholas. One of the young boys has his arm resting on this panel. There is a fold damage down the middle of the photograph, a small tear in the middle of the left edge, small corners folded down on the right top and bottom corners and a small piece ripped away near the bottom middle.

Heritability and Linkage Analysis of Appendicitis Utilizing Age at Onset
No full textAppendicitis usually afflicts the young, but there is a large tail in the distribution of onset age. The genetics of this disease are still not well understood. A heritability analysis and genome wide linkage analysis of a large twin dataset was undertaken. Treating age of onset of appendicitis as a censored survival trait revealed a heritability of 0.21, and found evidence of linkage to Chromosome 1p37.3.

Knapsack based optimal policies for budget-limited multi-armed bandits
No full textIn budget-limited multi-armed bandit (MAB) problems, the learner’s actions are costly and constrained by a fixed budget. Consequently, an optimal exploitation policy may not be to pull the optimal arm repeatedly, as is the case in other variants of MAB, but rather to pull the sequence of different arms that maximises the agent’s total reward within the budget. This difference from existing MABs means that new approaches to maximising the total reward are required. Given this, we develop two pulling policies, namely: (i) KUBE; and (ii) fractional KUBE. Whereas the former provides better performance up to 40% in our experimental settings, the latter is computationally less expensive. We also prove logarithmic upper bounds for the regret of both policies, and show that these bounds are asymptotically optimal (i.e. they only differ from the best possible regret by a constant factor)
