How often should you clean your room?
We introduce and study a combinatorial optimization problem motivated by the question in the title. In the simple case where you use all objects in your room equally often, we investigate asymptotics of the optimal time to clean up in terms of the number of objects in your room. In particular, we prove a logarithmic upper bound, solve an approximate version of this problem, and conjecture a pre...
متن کاملNoninvasive ventilation for acute lung injury: how often should we try, how often should we fail?
The selection of patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) to receive noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is challenging, partly because there are few reliable selection criteria. The study by Rana and colleagues in the previous issue of Critical Care identifies metabolic acidosis and a lower oxygenation index as predictors of NIV failure, although it is unable to...
متن کاملHow Can You Tell That’s a Door?
Object recognition is a task that people learn as small children, but which presents significant challenges for robotics. For some purposes, objects can be recognized by robots through detection of color transitions (outlines) presumed to be unique in a given environment, as with the spherical ball used in robot soccer competitions. Where outline alone is not determinative, but where the robot ...
متن کاملHow often should you follow up on a patient with newly diagnosed hypothyroidism?
six to 8 weeks after the start of levothyroxine therapy you should reexamine patients and measure their serum thyroidstimulating hormone (TsH) (strength of recommendation [sor]: c, common practice and expert opinion). If thyroid function is normal at that time, examine the patient and measure serum TsH again in 4 to 6 months because clearance of levothyroxine increases in the euthyroid (normal)...
متن کاملIntracellular actin-based transport: how far you go depends on how often you switch.
Intracellular molecular motor-driven transport is essential for such diverse processes as mitosis, neuronal function, and mitochondrial transport. Whereas there have been in vitro studies of how motors function at the single-molecule level, and in vivo studies of the structure of filamentary networks, studies of how the motors effectively use the networks for transportation have been lacking. W...
