Soccer has become the most popular sport in the world over the last century, but very little is known about its structure. One of the main reasons for that is the lack of a large-scale dataset. Despite the sport being constantly discussed and recorded worldwide, in every season there are several events that neither specialists nor fans can characterize or predict accurately. In this paper, we p...

Computer games can be motivating and engaging experiences that facilitate learning, leading to their increasing use in education and behavioural experiments. For these applications, it is often important to make inferences about the knowledge and cognitive processes of players based on their behaviour. However, designing games that provide useful behavioural data are a difficult task that typic...

Previous research suggests that action video game play improves attentional resources, allowing gamers to better allocate their attention across both space and time. In order to further characterize the plastic changes resulting from playing these video games, we administered the Attentional Network Test (ANT) ccepted 1 February 2009 vailable online 7 February 2009

let c be a field of subsets of a set i. also, let     1 i i be a non-decreasing positivesequence of real numbers such that 1, 1 0 1   i  and    11 i i . in this paper we prove thatbv of all the games of -bounded variation on c is a non-separable and norm dual banach space of thespace of simple games on c . we use this fact to establish the existence of a linear mapping t from...

Abstract. This is a review of an alternative cosmology, recently proposed by Fred Hoyle, Geoffrey Burbidge and this author. It begins with a brief discussion of why one needs an alternative cosmology, when the standard hot big bang cosmology is claimed to be doing well. It is argued that the observational and theoretical constraints on the standard big bang cosmology, from various directions, l...

If a point mass moves through a uniform gas cloud, at what rate does it accrete material? This is the question studied by Bondi, Hoyle and Lyttleton. This paper draws together the work performed in this area since the problem was first studied. Time has shown that, despite the simplifications made, Bondi, Hoyle and Lyttleton made quite accurate predictions for the accretion rate. Bondi–Hoyle–Ly...
