Shoot-Look-Shoot: A Review and Extension
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the optimal use of information in shooting at a collection of targets, generally with the object of maximizing the average number (or value) of targets killed. The shooting problem is viewed as a Markov decision process, and the modal solution technique is stochastic dynamic programming. Information obtained about target status may or may not be perfect, and there may or may not be constraints on the number of shots. Previous results are reviewed, and some new results are obtained.

How will climate change affect the way trees allocate carbon to root and shoot ?
and any change in climate which alters the length of each phase is likely to alter the root shoot ratio, with effects on forest respiration and photosynthesis. Hence, we need accurate estimates of root and shoot growing periods to predict growth in a changing environment but most models of carbon and nitrogen allocation in trees do not take account of seasonal phases of growth (eg. Thornley, 19...
متن کاملGrowth and Heavy Metals Uptake of Puccinellia distans (Jacq.) Parl
The use of plants to remediate contaminated soil has been the most rapidly developing component in environmental cleansing. Although total concentration of heavy metals in soil is used for regulatory review, it also is beneficial to assess the potential for ecosystem impact through a series of bioassays. One commonly used bioassay is seed germination. In current research study effect of contami...

متن کاملBud composition, branching patterns and leaf phenology in cerrado woody species.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plants have complex mechanisms of aerial biomass exposition, which depend on bud composition, the period of the year in which shoot extension occurs, branching pattern, foliage persistence, herbivory and environmental conditions. METHODS The influence of water availability and temperature on shoot growth, the bud composition, the leaf phenology, and the relationship betwee...
متن کاملOptimal Allocation and Effectiveness of Midcourse Interceptors in a Layered Defense
Adaptive preferential employment of interceptors in midcourse ballistic missile defense is considered. The defense discriminates decoys, with such discrimination characterized by a K-factor, and determines optimal intercepts and salvo structure in shoot-look-shoot scenarios. The attacker's strategy to determine proper allocation of warheads to targets of varying value in the presence of a defen...
