Predicting Player Churn in Multiplayer Games using Goal-Weighted Empowerment
"... Abstract—The extent to which players feel compelled to play a game is a primary factor in determining that game’s success. Using ideas from self-determination theory, we propose that the drive to play games is related to player’s ability to exercise their mastery drive. In self-determination theory, ..."

of Warcraft [15]. Our goal is to answer four fundamental questions: how does the population of the virtual world change over time, how are players distributed in the virtual world, how much churn occurs with players, and how do they move in the virtual world. Through probing-based measurements, our
Retention and Progression: Seven Months in World of Warcraft
, 2011
"... Knowing which players will stop playing is important for on-line game companies. Players generate massive amounts of behavior data every day. Can we mine this data to predict if they will churn? Is churn related to to the pace of pro-gression through game content? We collected demographic and motiva ..."

A population study: Latitudinal clines and chronotype of Neurospora wild type strains
"... The length of day and night (photoperiod) and changes in temperature are signals used by organisms to adjust their biology to the environment. Predicting seasonal changes –just like predicting daily changes- is thought to be mediated by the circadian system. This principle has been shown for example ..."

the use of Data Mining techniques to forecast future statistics. A points system based on the success of predictions (explained later in detail), which in turn allow buying/auctioning better players adds a greater interactive feeling to the existing FPL system. This would prevent the churning of players
COMMUNITY ECOLOGY Positive and negative effects of grass, cattle, and wild herbivores on Acacia saplings in an East African savanna
"... Abstract Plant–plant interactions can be a complex mixture of positive and negative interactions, with the net outcome depending on abiotic and community contexts. In savanna systems, the effects of large herbivores on tree– grass interactions have rarely been studied experimentally, though these he ..."

these herbivores are major players in these systems. In African savannas, trees often become more abundant under heavy cattle grazing but less abundant in wildlife preserves. Woody encroachment where cattle have replaced wild herbivores may be caused by a shift in the competitive balance between trees and grasses
CHAPTER 4 DATACENTER NETWORKS AND RELEVANT STANDARDS
