Estimating performance characteristics through observed nash equilibria
Get PDFThis article uses simple game models to investigate penalty kick shootouts in soccer. As opposed to existing research, which mainly focuses on empirical/experimental problems, the game itself is the main focus here. Interesting ndings include a proposed Nash equilibrium invariance for possible preference di erences between penalty kick Executors and Keepers as well as identi cation and demonstration of how game models may be used in order to estimate player performance characteristics through observed Nash equilibria outcomes. A non-mixed strategy Nash equilibrium is also shown to be possible with potential interesting consequences for goal keepers
The status of the Pacific sardine resource and its management
Get PDFThe Pacific sardine fishery has declined from a catch of
almost 8 hundred-thousand tons in the nineteen thirties to
relative insignificance at present. This decline was primarily
due to the decline of the northern subpopulation.
Scientists feel that the only remedial measure which would
be effective is a complete ban on sardine fishing in California and northern Baja California. (17pp.

These discussions were deeply relevant to the rise of the opera around 1600. Angelo Poliziano, Francesco Robortello, Piero Vettori, and Francesco Patrizi da Cherso are examined
Enhancing Literacy Instruction through Technology
Get PDFTechnology has altered how children experience language. As technology has taken root in society, literacy skills have expanded beyond simply reading and writing print texts to include interacting with digital texts and media. To prepare students to operate in this digital environment, teachers should integrate technology into language arts instruction; however, many teachers feel unprepared to do so effectively. Additionally, some teachers hesitate to implement technology into language arts instruction as a tool because of its supposed negative effects on literacy. Despite beliefs about technology inhibiting reading and writing, teachers can utilize technology to enhance literacy instruction. The digital age has laid the foundation for new literacies, and teachers must build upon it
