The Strategies for Simple One-Point Ko Situation of Computer Go

[[abstract]]Ko plays a very important role in Go, but most computer Go programs still cannot handle ko fights so far. Utilizing the principle of Minimax procedure, we obtain the best strategies for the simple one-point ko situation, enabling computer Go programs to gain maximum or loss minimum profit when dealing with the simple one-point ko situation. We also discuss in detail the strategies for using ko threats during the process of the ko fight.

Deletion of the trpc4 gene and its role in simple and complex strategic learning

The TRPC4 ion channel is expressed extensively in corticolimbic and a subpopulation of midbrain dopamine neurons. While TRPC4 knockout (KO) rats exhibit reduced sociability and social exploration, little is known about the role of TRPC4 in motivation and learning. To identify a function for TRPC4 channels in learning processes  we tested TRPC4 KO and normal wild type (WT) rats. TRPC4 KO and WT rats exhibited no differences in Y-­maze learning or simple discrimination learning. Furthermore, on a more complex serial reversal shift task designed  to assess strategic learning where the reward and non-­reward cues were repeatedly reversed between training sessions both TRPC4 KO and WT rats   performed equally well. Finally, we found no   performance differences when using a conditional reversal shift task where a tone signals the reversal of reward and non-reward cues within sessions. These data suggest that although TRPC4 channels may play a role in social interaction/anxiety  they exert a minimal role in simple and complex strategic learning

Singlet portal extensions of the standard seesaw models to dark sector with local dark symmetry: An alternative to the new minimal standard model

Assuming dark matter is absolutely stable due to unbroken dark gauge symmetry and singlet operators are portals to the dark sector, we present a simple extension of the standard seesaw model that can accommodate all the cosmological observations as well as terrestrial experiments available as of now, including leptogenesis, extra dark radiation of $\sim 0.08$ (resulting in $N_{\rm eff} = 3.130$ the effective number of neutrino species), Higgs inflation, small and large scale structure formation, and current relic density of scalar DM ($X$). The Higgs signal strength is equal to one as in the SM for unbroken $U(1)_X$ case with a scalar dark matter, but it could be less than one independent of decay channels if the dark matter is a dark sector fermion or if $U(1)_X$ is spontaneously broken, because of a mixing with a new neutral scalar boson in the models.Comment: Presented at the 9th PATRAS Workshop on Axions, WIMPs and WISP

PCR Genotyping of Physcomitrella patens CRISPR/Cas9 Ppcsld5/8 KO Mutants

The moss Physcomitrella patens is an attractive model organism due to its small genome and dominant haploid phase. P. patens has eight genes that form a family known as the Cellulose Synthase-Like Ds (CSLDs). A previous study using global knockdown of the entire PpCSLD family by RNA interference (RNAi) showed a decrease in protonemal tip growth, indicating that PpCSLDs play a role in protonemal growth. In order to study the roles of specific CSLDs in P. patens development, potential double KO mutants for PpCSLD5/8 were generated by CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis. The goal of this project was to screen potential ppcsld5/8 KO lines for gene deletions using PCR. A total of 59 potential ppcsld5/8 KO lines were screened and 4/59 were positive for PpCSLD5 deletions, while 1/59 was positive for a PpCSLD8 deletion. None of the potential ppcsld5/8 KO lines screened were positive for both PpCSLD5 and PpCSLD8 gene deletions. The high number of potential ppcsld5/8 KO lines reporting as wild type could be a result of the CRISPR/Cas9 system only cutting at one target site. This would result in minor indel events that cannot be detected by conventional PCR. As a result, Competition-based PCR (cbPCR) assays are being designed to look for indels in these potential ppcsld5/8 KO lines

Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Minat Konsumen terhadap Produk Rabbani

  Abstrak   Penelitian dilakukan terhadap konsumen produk Rabbani yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi minat konsumen terhadap produk Rabbani. Faktor-faktor yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini adalah daya tarik iklan, kualitas pelayanan, reputasi Perusahaan, dan atribut produk. Penelitian dilakukan di Bunker Rabbani Surabaya dengan jumlah sampel sebesar 100 sampel dengan jenis kelamin perempuan. Faktor-faktor tersebut dikatakan berpengaruh jika mempunyai nilai signifikansi kurang dari nilai alpha yaitu sebesar 0,05. Hasil pengujian validitas dan reliabilitas menunjukkan setiap item pertanyaan kuesioner dinyatakan valid dan reliabel, sehingga data dapat dianalisis untuk pengujian yang selanjutnya. Secara berturut-turut faktor-faktor yang mempengruhi minat konsumen terhadap produk rabbani adalah atribut produk dengan koefisien regresi sebesar 0,455, daya tarik iklan dengan koefisien regresi 0,244, kualitas pelayanan dengan koefisien regresi 0,160 dan reputasi Perusahaan dengan koefisien regresi 0,158. Hasil uji signifikansi faktor-faktor tersebut mempunyai pengaruh yang positif signifikan terhadap variabel terikat dengan alpha sebesar 0,05 nilai signifikansi atribut produk sebesar 0,000, nilai signifikansi daya tarik iklan 0,001, nilai signifikansi kualitas pelayanan sebesar 0,035 dan nilai signifikansi reputasi Perusahaan sebesar 0,035. Hasil uji determinasi keseluruhan faktor-faktor tersebut mempunyai pengaruh sebesar 67% terhadap variabel terikat. Simpulan penelitian bahwa daya tarik iklan, kualitas pelayanan reputasi Perusahaan dan atribut produk mempengaruhi minat konsumen secara positif dan signifikan terhadap produk Rabbani.   Kata kunci: Minat, Daya Tarik Iklan, Kualitas Pelayanan, Reputasi Perusahaan, Atribut Produk.     Abstract   Research conducted on consumer products Rabbani, the purpose of this study was to determine the factors that affect the consumers interests of Rabbani products. The factors examined in this study is the appeal of advertising, service quality, company reputation, and product attributes. The study was conducted in Rabbani Bunker Surabaya with a sample size of 100 samples with the female gender. These factors were said to be influential if it has a significance value is less than the alpha value of 0.05. The test results demonstrate the validity and reliability of each question item questionnaire is valid and reliable, so that the data can be analyzed for further testing. Respectively the factors that affect the consumers interests of products with the product attributes Rabbani is the regression coefficient of 0.455, advertising appeal with regression coefficient 0.244, quality of service with a regression coefficient of 0.160 and the company\u27s reputation with the regression coefficient of 0.158. Results of tests of significance of these factors have a significant positive affect on the dependent variable with an alpha of 0.05 significance value of 0.000 product attributes, significance value 0.001 advertisement appeal, the significant value of quality of service equal to 0.035 and a significance value of 0.035 the company\u27s reputation. Overall test results of determination of these factors have an influence by 67% of the dependent variable. The conclusion that the appeal of advertising, service quality, company reputation and product attributes have positive and significant impact on consumer interest in the product Rabbani.   Keywords: Interests, Appeals Advertising, Service Quality, Company Reputation, Product Attributes &nbsp
