An experimental analysis of Colonel Blotto Games under alternative environments

Bu makalede, bir savas alani ya da pazara daha fazla birlik ya da kaynak tahsis eden oyuncunun o alani kesinlikle kazanacagi ilkesine dayanan, muzayede yontemi ile isleyen ve tam bilgi ile tanimli bir deney tasarlanmistir. Makaledeki tasarimin mevcut literature katkisi, ayni oyuncunun bu oyunu ardi sira degisen alternatif karar durumlarinda (simetrik ve asimetrik kaynaklar, farkli sayida savas alani), rasyonel bir oyuncu olan bilgisayara karsi oynamasidir. Teorik beklentilerle uyumlu olarak; oyuncularin esit veya daha fazla kaynaga sahip olduklari durumda cogunlukla ‘tumuyle kapsama’ stratejisini, rakiplerinden daha az kaynaga sahip olduklarinda ise cogu zaman ‘gerilla’ stratejisini uyguladiklari saptanmistir. Ayrica, rakibiyle esit veya daha fazla kaynaga sahip olan oyuncularin gorece daha basarili olduklari gozlenmistir. Son olarak hem belirli bir oyun icinde, hem de benzer oyunlar arasinda, oyuncularin denge davranisini yineleme baglaminda kendilerini gelistirdikleri gozlemlenmis ve bu gelisimin ‘ogrenme’ argumani ile aciklanabilecegi sonucuna varilmistir.

Lawrence's Landscapes: Seven Pillars of Wisdom as Geography—Part II: Terrain Description and Interpretation

This is Part Two of a two-part paper on the geographical content of “Seven Pillars of Wisdom”, T. E. Lawrence's account of his involvement with Arab guerrillas during the First World War. This part deals with Lawrence's description and occasional interpretation of terrains within six natural regions of Arabia and eastern Palestine through which he travelled during the Arab campaign. As in Part One, he is revealed here as an astute observer, occasionally interpreter, of landscape, whose writing deserves wider notice and a place in the geographical canon of this region.

Lawrence's Landscapes: Seven Pillars of Wisdom as Geography—Part I: Landscape Cognition, “Topopsychology,” Regional Geography, and Application to War

This is Part One of a two-part paper on the geographical content of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, T. E. Lawrence's account of his army liaison work with Arab guerrillas during World War I. Overall, the paper seeks to advertise Lawrence's geographical sensibility and calls for the inclusion of his magnum opus in the canon of Middle Eastern geography. Part One deals with topics of a general nature concerning (1) landscape cognition as perceived by Lawrence; (2) the mental impact of landscape on Lawrence, here called “topopsychology” (3) the regional geography of the Middle East as perceived by Lawrence; and (4) Lawrence's application of geographical knowledge to strategic planning and the tactical execution of operations against Turk forces. The paper is prefaced by sections on the life of Lawrence, on the political and historical background to the Arab campaign, on the progress of the campaign, and on the terrain and climate of the region. Part Two will deal with Lawrence's geographical description and interpre...

Comunicación nomadológica. De la identidad a la alteridad

¿Por qué comunicar desde la nomadología? ¿Por qué desplazarse y ser otro al comunicar? ¿Frente a qué desplazarse y por qué ser otro comunicante? Estas interrogantes promueven generar algunas reflexiones sobre el rol de la comunicación en la construcción de la identidad y la alteridad, dicotomía cruzada por la praxis del poder. Comunicar desde la nomadología es una reflexión metateórica respecto a las posibilidades de desnudar los sistemas de significación endógenos, a modo de desplazarse, insurrectamente, a los márgenes de la semiósfera y su cruce con la otredad. Comunicar desde la nomadología es una apuesta por repensarnos comunicacionalmente, es transitar de la identidad a la alteridad para su junción, asumiendo un posicionamiento político al respecto.

Reproductive traits associated with invasiveness in Coreopsis lanceolata

Aims The invasive plant Coreopsis lanceolata can reproduce sexually and clonally,but the relative importance of these remains largely unknown. Our objective was to determine if reproductive characteristics affect the inva-siveness of C. lanceolata. Methods We observed the flowering dynamics of inflorescence,self-compatibility,germination traits of seed and clonal reproductive traits of C. lanceolata. Important findings Most C. lanceolata flowered and fruited between April and November. The florescence of a single capitulum persisted approximately 5 to 6 days,and the fruits matured after 18 days. Bagged capitula showed there were no seed set in single capitulum,and they were geitonogamous,which indicated self-incompatibility. The pollen-ovule (P/O) ratio was 103 549.40 ± 7 162.44. There was high pollen viability during flowering,and pollinator movement ensured endogamy,which improved the rate of out-crossing. Under natural conditions,the germination percentage is 50%,and germination occurs within 2–3 days. Coreopsis lanceolata has strong asexual capacity; there were many phalanx ramets from roots during the growing season,and the guerrilla ramets only occurred beginning in the last ten days of August,which is beneficial to C. lanceolata in excluding other species and forming mono-culture populations. These results suggest that the invasiveness of C. lanceolata is closely related to its reproductive traits.
