Gambler's Ruin? Some Aspects of Coin Tossing [PDF]
The Mathematical Scientist, 35, No. 2 (2010), 2019 What is the average number of tosses needed before a particular sequence of heads and tails turns up? We solve the problem didactically, starting with doubles, finding that a tail, followed by a head, turns up on the average after only four tosses, while six tosses are needed for two successive heads.

Tosse em pediatria Cough in paediatrics
Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia, 2008 A tosse é provavelmente o sintoma mais frequente na criança e, consequentemente, um dos principais motivos de consulta em pediatria. Os mecanismos e as causas da tosse na criança diferem das do adulto e, por esse motivo, é necessária uma diferente ...

Task-Difficulty-Aware Efficient Object Arrangement Leveraging Tossing Motions [PDF]
arXivThis study explores a pick-and-toss (PT) as an alternative to pick-and-place (PP), allowing a robot to extend its range and improve task efficiency. Although PT boosts efficiency in object arrangement, the placement environment critically affects the success of tossing.

Quantum Random Walks without a Coin Toss [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 We construct a quantum random walk algorithm, based on the Dirac operator instead of the Laplacian. The algorithm explores multiple evolutionary branches by superposition of states, and does not require the coin toss instruction of classical randomised algorithms.

A Feyman-Kac approach to a paper of Chung and Feller on fluctuations in the coin-tossing game [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 A classical result of K. L. Chung and W. Feller deals with the partial sums $S_k$ arising in a fair coin-tossing game. If $N_n$ is the number of "positive" terms among $S_1, S_2,\dots,S_n$ then the quantity $P(N_{2n}=2r)$ takes an elegant form. We lift the restriction on an even number of tosses and give a simple expression for $P(N_{2n+1}=r)$, $r=0,1 ...
