The Runaway Rectangle Escape Problem
Motivated by the applications of routing in PCB buses, the Rectangle Escape Problem was recently introduced and studied. In this problem, we are given a set of rectangles S in a rectangular region R, and we would like to extend these rectangles to one of the four sides of R. Define the density of a point p in R as the number of extended rectangles that contain p. The question is then to find an...
متن کاملTaming the Runaway Problem of Inflationary Landscapes
A wide variety of vacua, and their cosmological realization, may provide an explanation for the apparently anthropic choices of some parameters of particle physics and cosmology. If the probability on various parameters is weighted by volume, a flat potential for slow-roll inflation is also naturally understood, since the flatter the potential the larger the volume of the sub-universe. However,...
متن کاملOn the d-Runaway Rectangle Escape Problem
In the Rectangle Escape problem, we are given a set of rectangles S in a rectangular region R, and we would like to extend these rectangles to one of the four sides of R while ensuring that the maximum number of overlaps is minimized. More formally, define the density of a point p in R as the number of extended rectangles that contain p. The question is then to find an extension with the smalle...
متن کاملThe Declining Birthrate: Whose Problem?
This paper argues that the decline in the Japanese total fertility rate was caused mainly by the rise in the unmarried population. Possible explanations are late marriages, high educational expenditures and housing costs, women’s higher education and increased participation in the workforce, and a change in cultural values. The fertility rate among married women has remained at the replacement ...
متن کاملCommunication: whose problem is it?
An American Journal of Nursing study reported that nurses experience stress, frustration, loss of concentration, and impaired information exchange when hostile behaviors occur in the workplace. Early in my career, I worked in an intensive care unit, and when something annoyed one of the surgeons, he would pick up a ventilator and throw it. A ventilator! What did the institution do about this su...
