Exact Solutions for the Moving Firefighter Problem on Trees
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The moving firefighter problem (MFP) is a more realistic variant of the classic firefighter problem (FP), where firefighters require time for both travel and defense. Unfortunately, the only known exact solution for the MFP does not scale. In this paper, we establish that the MFP is NP‐complete on trees of maximum degree three and present four

Diffusion Coefficients of Organic Compounds in Molten High‐Impact Polystyrene
Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.Schematic overview of the determination of diffusion coefficients in molten high‐impact polystyrene. ABSTRACT Polystyrene (PS) is a widely used packaging material, but its recycling for food‐contact applications is still limited, partly due to a lack of quantitative data on the migration behavior of potential contaminants.
