From an AI point of view, Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games are hard because they have enormous state spaces, they are real-time and partially observable. In this paper, we present an approach to deploy gametree search in RTS games by using game state abstraction. We propose a high-level abstract representation of the game state, that significantly reduces the branching factor when used for game-t...

On a curved surface the front of a point wave evolves in concentric circles which start to overlap and branch after a certain time. This evolution is described by the geodesic ow and helps us to understand the geometry of surfaces. In this paper we compute the evolution of distance circles on polyhedral surfaces and develop a method to visualize the set of circles, their overlapping, branching,...

Form factors of rare B → K 0 (1430)l+l− decay are calculated within three–point QCD sum rules, with K 0 (1430) being the p–wave scalar meson. The branching ratios are estimated when only short, as well as short and long distance effects, are taken into account. It is obtained that the B → K 0 (1430)l+l− (l = e, μ) decay is measurable at LHC. Measurement of these branching ratios for the semilep...

In the supercritical branching random walk an initial person has children whose positions are given by a point process Z (1). Each of these then has children in the same way, with the positions of children in each family, relative to their parent's, being given by independent copies of Z (1) , and so on. For any value of its argument, , the Laplace transform of the point process of n th generat...

In this study, the compatibility of the blends of polypropylene (PP) and polybutene-1(PB-1) homopolymer before and after long chain branching process were studied. The blends were prepared and long-chain branched directly via reactive extrusion process in presence of free radical initiator and trimethylolpropane tri methacrylate (TMPTMA) poly functional monomer. The optimum percentage of TMPTMA...

internal iliac artery (iia) shows frequent variations in its branching pattern. we saw variations in the branching pattern of right iia in a male cadaver. the iia divided into anterior and posterior divisions. the branches of the anterior division included umbilical artery, inferior vesical artery, obturator artery. the other branches arose from posterior trunk such as iliolumbar, lateral sacra...

One-point time-series measurements limit the observation of three-dimensional fully developed turbulence to one dimension. For one-dimensional models, like multiplicative branching processes, this implies that the energy flux from large to small scales is not conserved locally. This then renders the random weights used in the cascade curdling to be different from the multipliers obtained from a...

We develop a general framework for reasoning about distances between transition systems with quantitative information. Taking as starting point an arbitrary distance on system traces, we show how this leads to natural definitions of a linear and a branching distance on states of such a transition system. We show that our framework generalizes and unifies a large variety of previously considered...

Net unfoldings are a well-known partial order semantics for Petri nets. Here we show that they are well suited to act as models for branching-time logics interpreted on local states. Such local logics (in particular a distributed-calculus) can be used to express properties from the point of view of one component in a distributed system. Local logics often allow for more eecient veriication proc...

This is a study of the course of the conduction system in two cases of hypoplasia of the aortic tract complex, one with mitral stenosis and the other with mitral atresia. In both there was a posterior atrioventricular (AV) node which formed the AV bundle. In case 1 the bundle was short and bifurcated early. The branching bundle gave off a large left bundle branch (LBB), many Mahaim fibers to th...
