How Artificial Intelligence can win at board games.

About a member of the Mancala family of games known as Oware or Wari, with a look at an old Commodore 64 version as well as modern versions.

… that got me interested in the question, “How long before one reaches the break even point on the purchase of a residence compared to a lease?”

Dating with accelerators uses the basic principles of radioactive dating and combines them with advanced isotope measurements to obtain very precise results from small samples. The principle measurement device is a modified mass spectrometer called an accelerator mass spectrometer (A.M.S.). This essay will cover the topics of radioactive dating, accelerator mass spectrometry, and how both of these work together to date materials.

The binary constraint satisfaction problem (bcsp) is an important area of research because so many problems can be represented in this form [Kumar92].

General Definitions arc consistency The domains of a variable Vi is such that for each constraint Ci,j Vi is consistent with the constraint for some permissible value of Vj for every value in the domain of Vi That is for every value x in Di (the domain of i) there exists some y in Dj such that Ci,j is satisfied.

(Undergrad): Using an Accelerator Mass Spectrometer to achieve very high accuracy radiocarbon dating with small samples.

If my feed was showing me what ’engaged’ me why did I get fed up and leave?

Preface This section contains pseudocode of the algorithms used in the paper as well as a brief discussion of each algorithm. Definitions for the Algorithms These definition are based on the descriptions in [Prosser93] and [Kondrak97].

Preface This section outlines the algorithms used to generate the problems the various algorithms were tested against. known-vars A set containing the variables for which a constraint involving them has been generated.

Results Hypotheses 1 and 2 The hypothesis that achieving arc consistency using AC-3 is sufficient to solve the Zebra problem can be quickly disproved using the benchmark Zebra problem presented earlier in this paper.
