Unreferenced date December 2009 Genius of the Species is a short story by Reginald Bretnor first published with the author name R. Bretnor , which originally appeared in the anthology 9 Tales of Space and Time edited by Raymond Healy . The story is set in the Soviet Union where a rat problem is getting out of control due to the laziness of cat s. This problem is solved by a government program to use artificial means to raise the intelligence of cats to an IQ of 20.2 so that they can be taught Marxism and subsequently realize catching rats is for the greater good. However, due to a calculation error on part of the scientist responsible for this program, the cats end up with an IQ of 202 rather than 20.2. With this superior intellect cats become the dominant species in the Communism Communist world.

Notability date May 2009 A problem statement is a concise description of the issues that need to be addressed by a problem solving team and should be presented to them or created by them before they try to solve the problem. When bringing together a team to achieve a particular purpose provide them with a problem statement . A good problem statement should answer these questions What is the problem? This should explain why the team is needed. Who has the problem or who is the client customer? This should explain who needs the solution and who will decide the problem has been solved. What form can the resolution be? What is the scope and limitations in time, money, resources, technologies that can be used to solve the problem? Does the client want a white paper ? A web tool? A new feature for a product? A brainstorming on a topic? The primary purpose of a problem statement is to focus the attention of the problem solving team. However, if the focus of the problem is too narrow or the scope of the solution too limited the creativity and innovation of the solution can be stifling.

In scientific disciplines, a toy problem is a problem that is not of immediate scientific interest, yet is used as an expository device to illustrate a trait that may be shared by other, more complicated, instances of the problem, or as a way to explain a particular, more general, problem solving technique. For instance, while engineering a large system, the large problem is often broken down into many smaller toy problems which have been understood in good detail. Often these problems distill a few important aspects of complicated problems so that they can be studied in isolation. Toy problems are thus often very useful in providing intuition about specific phenomena in more complicated problems.

Combining perspectives from neurobiology, evolutionary theory, linguistics, and semiotics , Deacon proposes that language, along with the unique human capacity for symbolic thought, co evolved with the brain. The Symbolic Species is a multi disclipinary book that at the time of publishing was seen as groundbreaking. It is considered to have bound together a wide array of ideas in a way that advanced the understanding of professionals in several fields. Core ideas Symbolic thought and language The reasons for the unique cognitive capacity of humans are explored, along with those for why many human activities are impossible for animals. Human use of language is said to be responsible for both. Co evolution A chicken and egg problem is shown to exist between the emergence of symbolic thought and language language is said to be the medium of symbolic thought, but it is reasoned that mastery of language would first require the ability to think symbolically. The solution of this chicken and egg problem, according to Deacon, is the subtle evolutionary process of coevolution co evolution .

unsourced date October 2010 The 1 center problem or minimax or minmax location problem is a classical combinatorial optimization problem in operations research of facilities location type. In its most general case the problem is stated as follows given a set of n demand points, a space of feasible locations of a facility and a function to calculate the transportation cost between a facility and any demand point, find a location of the facility which minimizes the maximum facility demand point transportation cost. The simple special case when the feasible locations and demand points are in the plane with Euclidean distance as transportation cost planar minmax Euclidean facility location problem, Euclidean 1 center problem in the plane, etc. , it is also known as the smallest circle problem . Its generalization to n dimensional Euclidean spaces is known as the smallest enclosing ball problem. A further generalization weighted Euclidean facility location is when the set of weights is assigned to demand points and the transportation cost is the sum of the products of distances by the corresponding weights. There are numerous particular cases of the problem, depending on the choice of the locations both of demand points and facilities, as well as the distance function.
