This paper is devoted to the “Discovery of Slowness.” The archetypical perversely awful algorithm bogo-sort, which is sometimes referred to as Monkey-sort, is analyzed with elementary methods. Moreover, practical experiments are performed.

Adaptive Estimation An adaptive estimator is an efficient estimator for a model that is only partially specified. For example, consider estimating a parameter that describes a sample of observations drawn from a distribution F . One natural question is: Is it possible that an estimator of the parameter constructed without knowledge of F could be as efficient (asymptotically) as any well-behaved...

This study examined phonemic (letters), semantic (animals) and action verbal fluency cues in twenty-four patients with FRDA, and twenty matched healthy control subjects. The Action Fluency Test (AFT) is a newly-developed verbal fluency cue that consists in asking the subject to rapidly generate verbs. Given the high presence of dysarthria and cognitive slowness in FRDA patients, control tasks w...

In this research, an efficient Galerkin Finite Volume Method (GFVM) along with the h–refinement adaptive process and post–processing error estimation analysis is presented for fracture analysis. The adaptive strategy is used to produce more accurate solution with the least computational cost. To investigate the accuracy and efficiency of the developed model, the GFVM is compared with two versio...
