International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In Tower Defense (TD) games, the objective is to defend a specific point on the game map from mobile units by constructing towers with offensive capabilities. In this work, we focus on Bloons Tower Defense (Bloons TD), one of the earliest and most prominent TD games.

Is sleep affected after microgravity and hypergravity exposure? A pilot study
Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.Summary Sleep is known to be affected in space travel and in residents of the international space station. But little is known about the direct effects of gravity changes on sleep, if other factors, such as sleep conditions, are kept constant. Here, as a first exploration, we investigated sleep before and after exposure to short bouts of microgravity ...
