چکیده

We consider a game in which players select strings over { 0, 1 } and observe a series of fair coin tosses, interpreted as a string over { 0, 1 }. The winner of this game is the player whose string appears first. For two players public knowledge of the opponent’s string leads to an advantage. In this paper, results for three players are presented. It is shown that given the choices of the first two players, a third string can always be chosen with probability of winning greater than 1/3. It is also shown that two players can chose strings such that the third player’s probability of winning is strictly less than the greater of the other two player’s probability of winning, and that whichever string is chosen, it will always have a disadvantage to one of the two other strings.

A Fast and Accurate Global Maximum Power Point Tracking Method for Solar Strings under Partial Shading Conditions

This paper presents a model-based approach for the global maximum power point (GMPP) tracking of solar strings under partial shading conditions. In the proposed method, the GMPP voltage is estimated without any need to solve numerically the implicit and nonlinear equations of the photovoltaic (PV) string model. In contrast to the existing methods in which first the locations of all the local pe...

The Analytic Technique and Experimental Research Methods of Post-buckling about Slender Rod Strings in Wellbore

The buckling behavior of rod strings in wellbore is one of the key issues in petroleum engineering. The slender rod strings in vertical wellbore were selected as research objects. Based on the energy method, the critical load formulas of sinusoidal and helical buckling were derived for the string with the bottom of the wellbore pressure. According to the sinusoidal and helical buckling’s geomet...

The Investigation of Anti-bacterial Activity of Holothuria Leucospilota Sea Cucumber Extracts (Body Wall, Guts and White Strings) at Chabahar Bay in Oman Sea

Echinoderms are independent and quite special branch of world animals. Sea cucumbers are among the strangest members of echinoderm class regarding their structure and physiology. These fauna have been tested with regard to anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-coagulants, anti-virus, cytotoxic, hemolytic and anti-HIV features. In this study, the antibacterial activity of Holothuria leucospilota...
