Scissors for Orchestra
… embrace both to establish my own musical voice. Scissors for Orchestra is an extension of this attempt to experiment. I was inspired by the Scissors Dance, a Korean traditional dance performed by taffy sellers in farmer’s markets to attract attention from people. The dancers use a special type of …

Scissors congruence and K-theory
In this thesis we develop a version of classical scissors congruence theory from the perspective of algebraic K-theory. Classically, two polytopes in a manifold X are defined to be scissors congruent if they can be decomposed into finite sets of pairwise-congruent polytopes. We generalize this …

Higher Scissors Congruence Groups of the Euclidean Plane
… consider the class of all polygons that are scissors congruent to the given polygon – that is, the class of all polygons which may be cut up finitely many times and then have their pieces rearranged into the given polygon. The problem of classical scissors congruence is to understand the …

Spatio-Temporal Patterns, Correlations, and Disorder in Evolutionary Game Theory
… dilemma, predator-prey models, the rock-paper-scissors game, etc. Recently, such well-known models have attracted increased interest in population dynamics to understand the emergence of biodiversity and species coexistence. Meanwhile, it has been realized that techniques from statistical …

Modeling and Behavior of the Beam/Column Joint Region of Steel Moment Resisting Frames
… to herein as the Krawinkler model and the Scissors model. From the literature review conducted at the beginning of this study, it was determined that there were no PZ models available that accounted for the elastic drift associated with PZ flexure which could be used in computer …

Eclectic Compositional Styles in the Piano Works of Craig Walsh
… solo piano works by Craig Walsh: Rhapsody, Black Scissors for prepared piano, and Lines. The research will provide a formal analysis and a detailed investigation into the stylistic characteristics of each work. The discussion on Rhapsody will focus on the influences of Igor Stravinsky and Cecil …

An Analysis of Precision teaching
… roller skating skills, forward crosses and back scissors, with the aim of increasing fluency in these skills using precision teaching methods. Skaters were told to perform the skills as fast as they could during 1-min practises, aiming at a set performance aim, or goal. After each timing skaters …

From Tic-tac-toe to AlphaGo: a survey of algorithms used in various games
… strategies in various games such as rock paper scissors, tic-tac-toe and go by turning a game’s qualitative aspects into quantitative aspects to talk about them mathematically. Game theory and the concept of a Nash equilibrium and subgame perfect equilibrium are introduced, as well as methods …

Coming to agreement: representation and processing of English subject-verb agreement in acquisition
… are"" even when we talk about a single pair of scissors, because scissors is a grammatically plural noun. Because agreement has clear notional correlates, but must ultimately be learned as a primarily syntactic dependency, we ask how this unfolds in development as a window on the role of …

Mechanisms of bacterial CRISPR immunity and a phage counter-defense
… cut specific genetic material, these molecular scissors have become a valuable biotechnological and genome editing tool. Acrs have the potential to be used to regulate CRISPR-Cas activity in both bacteria and human cells. Thus, investigating the mechanisms of CRISPR and anti-CRISPR proteins …

Non-Equilibrium Pattern Formation in Multi-Species Interacting Particle Systems
… cyclic dominance that resembles a rock-paper-scissors game. We extend the existing rock-paper-scissors model to include natural death and hunger mechanisms. We identify a new extinction phase which happens at high natural death. The condition under which one “smart” species can increase its …

Triple Scissor Extender : A 6-DOF lifting and positioning robot for autonomous aircraft manufacturing
… actuators moving the base ends of the individual scissors. The top point of each scissor is connected to one of three ball joints located at the three vertices of the top triangular plate holding the end-effector. Coordinated motion of the 6 linear actuators at the base allows the end-effector to …

Effects of Handedness on Completion Time during Performance of Multiple Tasks Using “Proper” and “Improper” Tools
… two tasks, 1) the use of left and right-handed scissors using the right hand, and 2) Mouse Manipulation Task using the calculator provided by the computer with a left and right-handed mouse using the right hand. Annett’s (1995) 12-item questionnaire was used to identify the preferred hand. This …

Variation in chemical components of aquacultured Ulva (Chlorophyta) in response to environmental variables
… Dunker) and artificial grazing (stimulated by scissors) was performed to determine their effects on the chemical composition of Ulva armoricana. Results obtained show that grazing and nutrient experiments mostly affected the aromatic, hydroxylic and carbonyl compounds regions, while salinity …

Relaxation and Spontaneous Ordering in Systems with Competition
… each domain three species play a rock-paper-scissors game which results in the formation of spirals inside the domains. We perturb the system by changing the interaction scheme which leads to a change of alliances and therefore a different spatial pattern. As expected, perturbing a complex …
