Cheating Death in Damascus
Evidential and Causal Decision Theory are the leading contenders as theories of rational action, but both face fatal counterexamples. We present some new counterexamples, including one in which the optimal action is causally dominated. We also present a novel decision theory, Functional Decision Theory (fdt), which simultaneously solves both sets of counterexamples. Instead of considering which...
متن کاملCheating Death: A Coxiella Effector Prevents Apoptosis
dria to provide a stable intracellular niche for replication (Luhrmann and Roy, 2007). The pathogen also activates Akt and Erk1/2 signaling to promote survival (Voth and Heinzen, 2009). Each of these events relies on Coxiella protein synthesis, suggesting the organism secretes a distinct effector(s) to regulate apoptosis. Unfortunately, effector identification and characterization has been hamp...
متن کاملCheating Cheating Detectors
In this paper we present a new cheating technique that is successful at defeating cheating detectors and could become popular with students. The idea is to use obfuscating code transformations (such as those found in the SANDMARK tool) to apply a sequence of minor code transformations to a copied programming assignment. This purpose is to produce a copy that will defeat detection. We show that ...
متن کاملCheating with imperfect transcripts
Most speech recognition systems try to reconstruct a word sequence given an acoustic input, using prior information about the language being spoken. In some cases, there is more information available to the decoder than simply the acoustics. When decoding a television news broadcast, for example, the closed-caption information that is often recorded for hearing impaired viewers may also be avai...
متن کاملApnea test in the determination of brain death in patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a well-established method of support in patients with severe respiratory and/or circulatory failure. Unfortunately, this invasive method of treatment is associated with a high risk of neurological complications including brain death. Proper diagnosis of brain death is crucial for the termination of futile medical care. Currently, the legal system in...
