Go gaming is a struggle for territory control between rival, black and white, stones on a board. We model the Go dynamics in a game by means of the Ising model whose interaction coefficients reflect essential rules and tactics employed in Go to build long-term strategies. At any step of the game, the energy functional of the model provides the control degree (strength) of a player over the boar...

Seega is an ancient Egyptian two-phase board game that, in certain aspects, is more difficult than chess. The two-player game is played on either a 5 × 5, 7 × 7, or 9 × 9 board. In the first and more difficult phase of the game, players take turns placing one disk each on the board until the board contains only one empty cell. In the second phase players take turns moving disks of their color; ...

Due to the gap in understanding board leadership and specifically, board shared leadership, this article aims at proposing some antecedents of the emergence of board shared leadership. This article incorporates three bodies of literature: Team effectiveness, team leadership, and board management. Based on integrating several theoretical perspectives, nine propositions are developed in relation ...

This article addresses the need for systematic and replicable research methods for the examination of student learning using so called interactive whiteboard technologies. As a basis for these methods a model is developed of the cognitive concomitants evident in students’ use of these technologies. While interactive whiteboards are shared spaces, it is important for educators to recognise indiv...

In this paper, we describe the design issues and te chnical implementation of an interactive Family Message Boa rd. The Family Message Board enables members of a distributed family to communicate with one another both synchronously and asynchronously via simple, pen-ba sed, digital notes. Each household running this Java-bas ed software can view, create, and manipulate notes in a zoomable space...

To evaluate complaints of adverse reactions to marking pen emissions, groups of mice were exposed for 1 h to the emissions of 8 brands of felt-tip markers or white-board cleaner. Pneumotachographs and a computerized version of ASTM E-981 test method were used to measure changes in respiration. Sensory irritation (SI), pulmonary irritation (PI), and/or air flow limitation (AFL) of differing inte...

We discuss a di cult optimization problem on a chess board requiring equal numbers of black and white queens to be placed on the board so that the white queens cannot attack the black queens We show how the symmetry of the problem can be straightforwardly eliminated using SBDS allowing a set of non isomorphic optimal solutions to be found We present three di erent ways of modelling the problem ...
