description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in chronic sensorimotor, cognitive, psychosocial, and communication challenges that can limit social participation. Social media can be a useful outlet for social participation for individuals with TBI, but there are barriers to access. While research has drawn attention to the nature of access barriers, few studies have investigated technological solutions to address these barriers, particularly considering the perspectives of individuals with TBI. To address this gap in knowledge, we used a participatory approach to engage 10 adults with TBI in conceptualizing tools to address their challenges accessing Facebook. Participants described multifaceted challenges in using social media, including interface overload, social comparisons, and anxiety over self-presentation and communication after injury. They discussed their needs and preferences and generated ideas for design solutions. Our work contributes to designing assistive and accessibility technology to facilitate an equal access to the benefits of social media for individuals with TBI.

description: We evaluate the two-point functions of the electromagnetic field in (D+1) -dimensional spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universes with a power-law scale factor, assuming that the field is prepared in the Bunch-Davies vacuum state. The range of powers are specified in which the two-point functions are infrared convergent and the Bunch-Davies vacuum for the electromagnetic field is a physically realizable state. The two-point functions are applied for the investigation of the vacuum expectation values of the field squared and the energy-momentum tensor, induced by a single and two parallel conducting plates. Unlike to the case of conducting plates in the Minkowski bulk, in the problem under consideration the stresses along the directions parallel to the plates are not equal to the energy density. We show that, in addition to the diagonal components, the vacuum energy-momentum tensor has a nonzero off-diagonal component which describes energy flux along the direction normal to the plates. For a single plate this flux is directed from the plate. The Casimir forces are investigated in the geometry of two plates. At separations between the plates smaller than the curvature radius of the background spacetime, to the leading order, we recover the corresponding result in the Minkowski spacetime and in this case the forces are attractive. At larger separations, the influence of the curvature on the Casimir forces is essential with different asymptotic behavior for decelerated and accelerated expansions. In particular, for the latter case there is a range of powers of the expansion law in which the forces become repulsive at large separations between the plates.

Ungeplant schwanger im schweizerischen Asylkontext: Eine qualitative Befragung von Betroffenen zu Rahmenbedingungen und Entscheidungspraxis

description: Auf die Frage, wie Frauen im schweizerischen Asylkontext ungeplant schwanger werden, bieten aktuelle Untersuchungen nur unvollständige Antworten. Dasselbe gilt für die Frage nach Informationen, Hilfsmittel und Ressourcen, welche Betroffenen bei der schwerwiegenden Entscheidung entweder für das Weiterführen oder Abbrechen der Schwangerschaft zur Verfügung stehen (sollten). Die vorliegende Untersuchung durch problemzentrierte Interviews mit vier Betroffenen ging deshalb folgenden Fragen nach: Unter welchen Umständen sind sie schwanger geworden? Auf welche Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten konnten sie zurückgreifen nach Eintritt der Schwangerschaft? Wie haben sie den Entscheid getroffen, die Schwangerschaft weiterzuführen oder abzubrechen? Die Ergebnisse bestätigen aktuelle Forschungspositionen darin, dass Betroffene über weite Strecken ungenügenden Zugang zu Verhütungsmitteln erhalten. Auch der Zugang zu Informationen über sexuelle und reproduktive Gesundheit, zu psychosozialer Beratung und medizinischer Behandlung ist teilweise mangelhaft. Diese Defizite begünstigen die Entstehung ungeplanter Schwangerschaften und deren Folgen. Die Untersuchung hat überdies ergeben, dass sich drei der Befragten für einen Schwangerschaftsabbruch entschieden haben, unter anderem aufgrund der prekären und von Abhängigkeiten geprägten Lebensbedingungen. Eine der Drei war aufgrund fehlenden Zugangs zu sexueller Gesundheit und sexuellen Rechten nicht in der Lage, den Entscheid zu realisieren. Die Resultate zeigen, dass dringender Handlungsbedarf besteht. Insbesondere muss der Zugang zu Verhütungsmittel unbedingt sichergestellt, in Wissensvermittlung über sexuelle und reproduktive Gesundheit sowie sexuelle Rechte investiert und das Angebot der Beratungsstellen für Familienplanung bekannter gemacht werden.

Several fairly large specimens were found in the sample. All investigated specimens had trophi of bdelloid rotifers in their stomach. The species has not been recorded from Greenland previously, but has been found in Europe (Glascott 1893; Berzins 1949, 1978; Wulfert 1960), Russia and former Soviet Union (Kutikova 1962, 1970), Asia (Fernando & Zankai 1981; Sharma & Pant 1985), Australia (Koste & Shiel 1980, 1991), North America (Harring & Myers 1922; Chengalath & Koste 1989) and Brazil (Segers & Dumont 1995). It is considered a rare cosmopolite.
The species is distinguished by its trophi morphology combined with the presence of one large salivary gland, and one cerebral and two frontal eyes. The recorded specimens were generally typical but deviated in some details in the trophi.
Trophi from two specimens were prepared for SEM (Fig. 2). The rami are large and slightly asymmetrical, with long, pointed alulae (Fig. 2 A–D). Most posteriorly on the ventral side, two extensions from each ramus form a small hinge (Fig. 2 E). Basifenestrae and subbasifenestrae are present. The apical rami parts bend dorsally and have a dense row of fine teeth (Fig. 2 C). Each ramus has approximately 20 teeth. A pair of small, twisted, fanshaped oral plates is attached on the ventral side of rami (Fig. 2 B). The fulcrum is clearly divided into a dorsal and a ventral part (Fig. 2 A, C–D). The dorsal part is broadened laterally and composed of relatively thick sclerofibrillae that are arranged both side­by­side and on top of each other. The ventral fulcrum part is much narrower laterally, composed of one horizontal row of thick sclerofibrillae. Each uncus has one tooth with a basal lamella (Fig. 2 F). Each manubrium is composed of a long distal cauda and a small proximal head. The head is formed by the walls of the medial and posterior manubrium chambers. Apertures from both chambers are located 1/3 from the proximal end of the manubrium (Fig. 2 A, D). A paired epipharynx composed of two large, fan­shaped plates is present (Fig. 2 A). Both Harring and Myers (1922) and Wulfert (1960) illustrate the epipharyngeal elements as rod­shaped sclerites with expanded distal terminals. However, their descriptions are probably based on a misinterpretation. Most of the epipharyngeal fans are extremely delicate and feebly visible with LM whereas the central parts are more robust. This may cause the sclerites to appear more rod­shaped in LM. Measurements: Body: 504 µm; toes 37 µm; trophi 64 µm; rami 38 µm; fulcrum 37 µm; manubria 47 µm; unci 17 µm; epipharynx 15 µm; oral plates 6 µm.

description: Lin and Zhaos theorem on loop formulas states that in the propositional case the stable model semantics of a logic program can be completely characterized by propositional loop formulas, but this result does not fully carry over to the first-order case. We investigate the precise relationship between the first-order stable model semantics and first-order loop formulas, and study conditions under which the former can be represented by the latter. In order to facilitate the comparison, we extend the definition of a first-order loop formula which was limited to a nondisjunctive program, to a disjunctive program and to an arbitrary first-order theory. Based on the studied relationship we extend the syntax of a logic program with explicit quantifiers, which allows us to do reasoning involving non-Herbrand stable models using first-order reasoners. Such programs can be viewed as a special class of first-order theories under the stable model semantics, which yields more succinct loop formulas than the general language due to their restricted syntax.
Fast X-Ray/IR cross-correlations and relativistic jet formation in GRS 1915+105

description: We present cross-correlation analyses of simultaneous X-ray and near-infrared (near-IR) observations of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 during relativistic jet-producing epochs (X-ray class $α$ and $β$). While previous studies have linked the large-amplitude IR flares and X-ray behaviors to jet formation in these states, our new analyses are sensitive to much lower-amplitude IR variability, providing more sensitive probes of the jet formation process. The X-ray to IR cross-correlation function (CCF) shows significant correlations which vary in form between the different X-ray states. During low/hard dips in both classes, we find no significant X-ray/IR correlation. During high-variability epochs, we find consistently significant correlations in both $α$ and $β$ classes, but with strong differences in the CCF structure. The high-variability $α$ CCF shows strong anti-correlation between X-ray/IR, with the X-ray preceding the IR by $\sim$ 13 $\pm$ 2s. The high-variability $β$ state shows time-variable CCF structure, which is statistically significant but without a clearly consistent lag. Our simulated IR light curves, designed to match the observed CCFs, show variably-flickering IR emission during the class $β$ high-variability epoch, while the class $α$ can be fit by IR flickering with frequencies in the range 0.1 to 0.3 Hz, strengthening $\sim$10 s after every X-ray subflare. We interpret these features in the context of the X-ray-emitting accretion disk and IR emission from relativistic jet formation in GRS 1915+105, concluding that the CCF analysis places the origin in a synchrotron-emitting relativistic compact jet at a distance from the compact object of $\sim$0.02AU.

description: Many applications, e.g., Web service composition, complex system design, team formation, etc., rely on methods for identifying collections of objects or entities satisfying some functional requirement. Among the collections that satisfy the functional requirement, it is often necessary to identify one or more collections that are optimal with respect to user preferences over a set of attributes that describe the non-functional properties of the collection. We develop a formalism that lets users express the relative importance among attributes and qualitative preferences over the valuations of each attribute. We define a dominance relation that allows us to compare collections of objects in terms of preferences over attributes of the objects that make up the collection. We establish some key properties of the dominance relation. In particular, we show that the dominance relation is a strict partial order when the intra-attribute preference relations are strict partial orders and the relative importance preference relation is an interval order. We provide algorithms that use this dominance relation to identify the set of most preferred collections. We show that under certain conditions, the algorithms are guaranteed to return only (sound), all (complete), or at least one (weakly complete) of the most preferred collections. We present results of simulation experiments comparing the proposed algorithms with respect to (a) the quality of solutions (number of most preferred solutions) produced by the algorithms, and (b) their performance and efficiency. We also explore some interesting conjectures suggested by the results of our experiments that relate the properties of the user preferences, the dominance relation, and the algorithms.

description: "Fossil" galaxy groups, each dominated by a relatively isolated giant elliptical galaxy, have many properties intermediate between groups and clusters of galaxies. We used the {\sl Suzaku} X-ray observatory to observe the X-ray brightest fossil group, ESO 3060170, out to $R_{200}$, in order to better elucidate the relation between fossil groups, normal groups, and clusters. We determined the intragroup gas temperature, density, and metal abundance distributions and derived the entropy, pressure and mass profiles for this group. The entropy and pressure profiles in the outer regions are flatter than in simulated clusters, similar to what is seen in observations of massive clusters. This may indicate that the gas is clumpy and/or the gas has been redistributed. Assuming hydrostatic equilibrium, the total mass is estimated to be $\sim1.7\times10^{14}$ $M_{\odot}$ within a radius $R_{200}$ of $\sim1.15$ Mpc, with an enclosed baryon mass fraction of 0.14. The integrated iron mass-to-light ratio of this fossil group is larger than in most groups and comparable to those of clusters, indicating that this fossil group has retained the bulk of its metals. A galaxy luminosity density map on a scale of 25 Mpc shows that this fossil group resides in a relatively isolated environment, unlike the filamentary structures in which typical groups and clusters are embedded.

description: Microscopic mechanism for the Rashba-type band splitting is examined in detail. We show how asymmetric charge distribution is formed when local orbital angular momentum (OAM) and crystal momentum get interlocked due to surface effects. An electrostatic energy term in the Hamiltonian appears when such OAM and crystal momentum dependent asymmetric charge distribution is placed in an electric field produced from an inversion symmetry breaking (ISB). Analysis by using an effective Hamiltonian shows that, as the atomic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) strength increases from weak to strong, originally OAM-quenched states evolve into well-defined chiral OAM states and then to total angular momentum J-states. In addition, the energy scale of the band splitting changes from atomic SOC energy to electrostatic energy. To confirm the validity of the model, we study OAM and spin structures of Au(111) system by using an effective Hamiltonian for the d-orbitals case. As for strong SOC regime, we choose Bi2Te2Se as a prototype system. We performed circular dichroism angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments as well as first-principles calculations. We find that the effective model can explain various aspects of spin and OAM structures of the system.

description: We define a logic of propositional formula schemata adding to the syntax of propositional logic indexed propositions and iterated connectives ranging over intervals parameterized by arithmetic variables. The satisfiability problem is shown to be undecidable for this new logic, but we introduce a very general class of schemata, called bound-linear, for which this problem becomes decidable. This result is obtained by reduction to a particular class of schemata called regular, for which we provide a sound and complete terminating proof procedure. This schemata calculus allows one to capture proof patterns corresponding to a large class of problems specified in propositional logic. We also show that the satisfiability problem becomes again undecidable for slight extensions of this class, thus demonstrating that bound-linear schemata represent a good compromise between expressivity and decidability.

description: Ion beam has been used in cancer treatment, and has a unique preferable feature to deposit its main energy inside a human body so that cancer cell could be killed by the ion beam. However, conventional ion accelerator tends to be huge in its size and its cost. In this paper a future intense-laser ion accelerator is proposed to make the ion accelerator compact. An intense femtosecond pulsed laser was employed to accelerate ions. The issues in the laser ion accelerator include the energy efficiency from the laser to the ions, the ion beam collimation, the ion energy spectrum control, the ion beam bunching and the ion particle energy control. In the study particle computer simulations were performed to solve the issues, and each component was designed to control the ion beam quality. When an intense laser illuminates a target, electrons in the target are accelerated and leave from the target; temporarily a strong electric field is formed between the high-energy electrons and the target ions, and the target ions are accelerated. The energy efficiency from the laser to ions was improved by using a solid target with a fine sub-wavelength structure or by a near-critical density gas plasma. The ion beam collimation was realized by holes behind the solid target. The control of the ion energy spectrum and the ion particle energy, and the ion beam bunching were successfully realized by a multi-stage laser-target interaction. The present study proposed a novel concept for a future compact laser ion accelerator, based on each component study required to control the ion beam quality and parameters.

description: Some of the applications of OWL and RDF (e.g. biomedical knowledge representation and semantic policy formulation) call for extensions of these languages with nonmonotonic constructs such as inheritance with overriding. Nonmonotonic description logics have been studied for many years, however no practical such knowledge representation languages exist, due to a combination of semantic difficulties and high computational complexity. Independently, low-complexity description logics such as DL-lite and EL have been introduced and incorporated in the OWL standard. Therefore, it is interesting to see whether the syntactic restrictions characterizing DL-lite and EL bring computational benefits to their nonmonotonic versions, too. In this paper we extensively investigate the computational complexity of Circumscription when knowledge bases are formulated in DL-lite_R, EL, and fragments thereof. We identify fragments whose complexity ranges from P to the second level of the polynomial hierarchy, as well as fragments whose complexity raises to PSPACE and beyond.

description: (NH$_4$)$_2$[FeCl$_5$(H$_2$O)], a member of the family of antiferromagnetic $A_2$[Fe$X_5$(H$_2$O)] compounds ($X$ = halide ion, $A$ = alkali metal or ammonium ion) is classified as a new multiferroic material. We report the onset of ferroelectricity below ~6.9 K within an antiferromagnetically ordered state ($T_N \sim 7.25 K$). The corresponding electric polarization can drastically be influenced by applying magnetic fields. Based on measurements of pyroelectric currents, dielectric constants and magnetization we characterize the magnetoelectric, dielectric and magnetic properties of (NH$_4$)$_2$[FeCl$_5$(H$_2$O)]. Combining these data with measurements of thermal expansion, magnetostriction and specific heat, we derive detailed magnetic field versus temperature phase diagrams. Depending on the direction of the magnetic field up to three different multiferroic phases are identified, which are separated by a magnetically ordered, but non-ferroelectric phase from the paramagnetic phase. Besides these low-temperature transitions, we observe an additional phase transition at ~79 K, which we suspect to be of structural origin.

description: Most stars form as part of a star cluster. The most massive clusters in the Milky Way exist in two groups - loose and compact clusters - with significantly different sizes at the end of the star formation process. After their formation both types of clusters expand up to a factor 10-20 within the first 20 Myr. Gas expulsion at the end of the star formation process is usually regarded as only possible process that can lead to such an expansion.We investigate the effect of gas expulsion by a direct comparison between numerical models and observed clusters concentrating on clusters with masses >10^3 M(sun). For these clusters the initial conditions before gas expulsion, the characteristic cluster development, its dependence on cluster mass, and the star formation efficiency (SFE) are investigated. We perform N-body simulations of the cluster expansion process after gas expulsion and compare the results with observations. We find that the expansion processes of the observed loose and compact massive clusters are driven by completely different physical processes. As expected the expansion of loose massive clusters is largely driven by the gas loss due to the low SFE of ~30%. One new revelation is that all the observed massive clusters of this group seem to have a very similar size of 1-3 pc at the onset of expansion. It is demonstrated that compact clusters have a much higher effective SFE of 60-70% and are as a result much less affected by gas expulsion. Their expansion is mainly driven by stellar ejections caused by interactions between the cluster members. The reason why ejections are so efficient in driving cluster expansion is that they occur dominantly from the cluster centre and over an extended period of time. Thus during the first 10 Myr the internal dynamics of loose and compact clusters differ fundamentally.

A few specimens were found in the samples. The species is a rare cosmopolite and has also been recorded from Europe (Wulfert 1940; Koch­Althaus 1962, 1963; Koste 1965, 1968, 1976; Berzins 1978), Tasmania (Koste & Shiel 1991), the United States (Harring & Myers 1924; Berzins 1978), Arctic Canada (Nogrady & Smol 1989; De Smet & Bafort 1990; De Smet & Beyens 1995) and Svalbard (De Smet 1988, 1993). The species is new to Greenland.
The species is distinguished by its trophi morphology and absence of a true eyespot. The recorded specimens were generally typical. Trophi from one specimen were prepared for SEM. The rami are large and triangular. The apical rami parts are lamellate, forming an apical basket (Fig. 4). A pair of pleural rods with fanned ends is attached to the dorsal side of the rami (Fig. 4 A). The fulcrum is long with a dorsally curved terminal tip. Unci have two teeth, furthermore, left uncus has five accessory teeth forming a fan. Manubria are composed of a well­developed proximal head and a caudal rod. The proximal head contains three chambers. Anterior and posterior chambers have large apertures; the medial chamber has a smaller aperture in the distal part of the manubrium head (Fig. 4 A).
Measurements: Trophi 50 µm; rami 28 µm; fulcrum 29 µm; manubria 30 µm; unci 13 µm.

description: Standard belief change assumes an underlying logic containing full classical propositional logic. However, there are good reasons for considering belief change in less expressive logics as well. In this paper we build on recent investigations by Delgrande on contraction for Horn logic. We show that the standard basic form of contraction, partial meet, is too strong in the Horn case. This result stands in contrast to Delgrande's conjecture that orderly maxichoice is the appropriate form of contraction for Horn logic. We then define a more appropriate notion of basic contraction for the Horn case, influenced by the convexity property holding for full propositional logic and which we refer to as infra contraction. The main contribution of this work is a result which shows that the construction method for Horn contraction for belief sets based on our infra remainder sets corresponds exactly to Hansson's classical kernel contraction for belief sets, when restricted to Horn logic. This result is obtained via a detour through contraction for belief bases. We prove that kernel contraction for belief bases produces precisely the same results as the belief base version of infra contraction. The use of belief bases to obtain this result provides evidence for the conjecture that Horn belief change is best viewed as a hybrid version of belief set change and belief base change. One of the consequences of the link with base contraction is the provision of a representation result for Horn contraction for belief sets in which a version of the Core-retainment postulate features.

description: To evaluate whether there is a causal relationship between autoimmune thyroid disorders (AITDs) and telomere length (TL) in European population, and whether there is reverse causality. Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization analysis were conducted to assess the potential causal relationship between AITDs and TL using summary statistics from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs), followed by the analysis regarding the relationship between TL and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) to help interpret the findings. In conclusion, autoimmune hyperthyroidism may accelerate telomere attrition, and telomere attrition is a causal factor for AITD.

description: Gravitational lensing provides a significant source of cosmological information in modern CMB parameter analyses. It is measured in both the power spectrum and trispectrum of the temperature fluctuations. These observables are often treated as independent, although as they are both determined from the same map this is impossible. In this paper, we perform a rigorous analysis of the covariance between lensing power spectrum and trispectrum analyses. We find two dominant contributions coming from: (i) correlations between the disconnected noise bias in the trispectrum measurement and sample variance in the temperature power spectrum; and (ii) sample variance of the lenses themselves. The former is naturally removed when the dominant N0 Gaussian bias in the reconstructed deflection spectrum is dealt with via a partially data-dependent correction, as advocated elsewhere for other reasons. The remaining lens-cosmic-variance contribution is easily modeled but can safely be ignored for a Planck-like experiment, justifying treating the two observable spectra as independent. We also test simple likelihood approximations for the deflection power spectrum, finding that a Gaussian with a parameter-independent covariance performs well.

description: Background: The drastic socio-political unrest in Hong Kong (HK) due to the different political issues in 2019 and the novel coronavirus epidemic has drawn rising negative emotions in the society, which the demand for psychological support is soaring. As the epidemic has greatly limited the flexibility of rendering conventional face-to-face counselling, alternative therapeutic approaches are vital to combat the accelerating demand of social and psychological support. Methods: This study reports the qualitative research results of investigating the treatment efficacy and the mechanism of art therapy with clay (CAT), on the emotional problems of youth in the context of HK. The intervention composes of six 2-hour sessions led by an art therapist who is also an experienced school social worker. Results: The phenomenographic approach of analysing the post-intervention focus groups triangulated by the in-sessions art-based inquiry worksheet responses have depicted the therapeutic effects of CAT in three different themes as(1) releasing physical tension, soothing and regulating emotion; (2) building persistence in face of adversities and failures, and; (3) art products as representations of new meanings of life and positive self-image. Conclusions:The CAT process and the created ceramic artworks show powerful therapeutic effects in reorganizing and incorporating challenging experiences and failures, regulating feelings, and instilling new meanings to existential struggles and life issues. Traumatic experience and challenging situation have an existential implication that help one to recapture the core values of life and promote psychological positivity. The creation of animal symbols in the youngsters’ ceramic artworks embrace a sophisticated process of charging emotion, revitalize ideas, and connect personal experience to the collective experience.

description: A key problem in random network coding (NC) lies in the complexity and energy consumption associated with the packet decoding processes, which hinder its application in mobile environments. Controlling and hence limiting such factors has always been an important but elusive research goal, since the packet degree distribution, which is the main factor driving the complexity, is altered in a non-deterministic way by the random recombinations at the network nodes. In this paper we tackle this problem proposing Band Codes (BC), a novel class of network codes specifically designed to preserve the packet degree distribution during packet encoding, ecombination and decoding. BC are random codes over GF(2) that exhibit low decoding complexity, feature limited and controlled degree distribution by construction, and hence allow to effectively apply NC even in energy-constrained scenarios. In particular, in this paper we motivate and describe our new design and provide a thorough analysis of its performance. We provide numerical simulations of the performance of BC in order to validate the analysis and assess the overhead of BC with respect to a onventional NC scheme. Moreover, peer-to-peer media streaming experiments with a random-push protocol show that BC reduce the decoding complexity by a factor of two, to a point where NC-based mobile streaming to mobile devices becomes practically feasible.

description: Phase separation in binary mixtures in the presence of Janus particles has been studied in terms of a Cahn-Hilliard model coupled to the Langevin equations describing the particle dynamics. We demonstrate that the phase separation process is arrested leading to unexpected regular stripe patterns in the concentration field. The underlying pattern forming mechanism has been elucidated: The twofold absorption properties on the surface of Janus particles with respect to the two components of a binary mixture trigger in their neighborhood spatial concentration variations. They result in an effective interaction between the particles mediated by the binary mixture. Our findings open a route to design composite materials with nanoscale lamellar morphologies where the pattern wavelength can be tuned by changing the wetting properties of the Janus particles.

description: The problem of adversarial multi-robot patrol has gained interest in recent years, mainly due to its immediate relevance to various security applications. In this problem, robots are required to repeatedly visit a target area in a way that maximizes their chances of detecting an adversary trying to penetrate through the patrol path. When facing a strong adversary that knows the patrol strategy of the robots, if the robots use a deterministic patrol algorithm, then in many cases it is easy for the adversary to penetrate undetected (in fact, in some of those cases the adversary can guarantee penetration). Therefore this paper presents a non-deterministic patrol framework for the robots. Assuming that the strong adversary will take advantage of its knowledge and try to penetrate through the patrols weakest spot, hence an optimal algorithm is one that maximizes the chances of detection in that point. We therefore present a polynomial-time algorithm for determining an optimal patrol under the Markovian strategy assumption for the robots, such that the probability of detecting the adversary in the patrols weakest spot is maximized. We build upon this framework and describe an optimal patrol strategy for several robotic models based on their movement abilities (directed or undirected) and sensing abilities (perfect or imperfect), and in different environment models - either patrol around a perimeter (closed polygon) or an open fence (open polyline).

description: Starting from recent determination of Fe, O, Na abundance on a restricted sample (N=67) of halo and thick disk stars, a natural and well motivated selection criterion is defined for the classification of globular cluster stars. An application is performed to M13 using a sample (N=112) for which Fe, O, Na abundance has been recently inferred from observations. A comparison is made between current and earlier M13 star classification. Both O and Na empirical differential abundance distributions are determined for each class and the whole sample (with the addition of Fe in the last case) and compared with their theoretical counterparts due to cosmic scatter obeying a Gaussian distribution whose parameters are inferred from related subsamples. The procedure is repeated with regard to four additional classes according if oxygen and sodium abundance is above (stage CE) or below (stage AF) a selected threshold. Both O and Na empirical differential abundance distributions, related to the whole sample, exhibit a linear fit for AF and CE stage. Within the errors, the oxygen slope for CE stage is equal and opposite in sign with respect of the sodium slope for AF stage, while the contrary holds in dealing with the oxygen slope for AF stage with respect to the sodium slope for CE stage. In the light of simple models of chemical evolution applied to M13, the O-Na anticorrelation and the primordial to current M13 mass ratio are discussed. The proposed classification of globular cluster stars may be extended in a twofold manner, namely to (i) elements other than Na and Fe and (ii) globular clusters other than M13.
