The proverbial back of an envelope
Mark D. Gross, Department of Planning and Design, University of Colorado People draw diagrams and sketches to think, argue, and communicate about problems in domains ranging from mechanical engineering to music. To understand a problem better, mathematician George Polya advised, “Draw a figure ... even if your problem is not a problem of geometry.”1 We can debate whether making a figure really ...
متن کاملKids swallowing pennies.
Kids Swallowing Pennies Doctors at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, have learned that a penny saved isn't always a good thing, particularly if that penny was minted after 1982. A team of doctors found that children who swallow post-1982 pennies may develop stomach ulcers if the coins become lodged in their digestive tracts. More than 21,000 children visited the emergenc...
متن کاملQuantum Matching Pennies Game
A quantum version of the Matching Pennies (MP) game is proposed that is set in an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm (EPR-Bohm) setting. We construct the quantum game without using the state vectors and while considering only the quantum mechanical joint probabilities relevant to the EPR-Bohm setting. We embed the classical game within the quantum game such that the classical MP game results when the...
متن کاملDangerous dive cycles and the proverbial ostrich
Data rarely are available to address the level of predation risk faced by diving animals in different parts of the water column. Consequently, most published research on diving behaviour implicitly assumes like the proverbial ostrich that ‘unseen’ predators are functionally unimportant. We argue that failure to consider diving in a predation risk framework may have precluded many insights into ...
متن کاملTipping Pennies ? Privately . Practical Anonymous
We design and analyze the first practical anonymous payment mechanisms for network services. We start by reporting on our experience with the implementation of a routing micropayment solution for Tor. We then propose micropayment protocols of increasingly complex requirements for networked services, such as p2p or cloud-hosted services. The solutions are efficient, with bandwidth and latency ov...
