In this paper, we propose a new learning method simulation adjusting that adjusts simulation policy to improve the move decisions of the Monte Carlo method. We demonstrated simulation adjusting for 4 × 4 board Go problems. We observed that the rate of correct answers moderately increased.

In this paper we explore two themes in data structure design: amortized computational complexity and self-adjustment. We are motivated by the following observations. In most applications of data structures, we wish to perform not just a single operation but a sequence of operations, possibly having correlated behavior. By averaging the running time per operation over a worst-case sequence of op...

The reactive diffracting trees are known efficient distributed data structures for supporting synchronization. They not only distribute a set of processes to smaller groups accessing different parts of the memory in a global coordinated manner, but also adjust their size in order to attain efficient performance across different levels of contention. However, the existing reactive adjustment pol...

Among the hyphomycetous endoparasites destructive to eelworms that abound in slowly decaying plant materials, as well as in agar plate cultures earlier inoculated with partly decomposed vegetable detritus, Harposporium anguillulae Lohde emend. Zopf (1888) is observed much more frequently than allied forms. In seeking an explanation for this more frequent occurrence it would seem highly signific...

This paper describes a physiologically based toxicokinetic model for 1,3-butadiene uptake, distribution, and metabolic clearance in mice. Model parameters for metabolic activity were estimated from the correspondence between computer simulation studies and experimental results as published in the literature. The parameterized model was validated with independent literature data. With the result...

abstract: a continuously variable transmission (cvt) is a transmission which may change step less by way of an infinite variety of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values. this contrasts with different mechanical transmissions that solely permit just a few different distinct gear ratios to be selected. continuously variable transmissions (cvts) are mechanical devices that allow...

We study the impact of trade exposure on job biographies 2.4 million manufacturing workers in Germany. Rising export opportunities lead to two equally important sources earnings gains: and employer switches within same industry. Highly skilled benefit most. Import shocks mostly hurt low-skilled workers, especially when they possess lots industry-specific human capital. They also destroy workers...
