The Traveling Firefighter Problem [PDF]
, 2021 We introduce the $L_p$ Traveling Salesman Problem ($L_p$-TSP), given by an origin, a set of destinations, and underlying distances. The objective is to schedule a destination visit sequence for a traveler of unit speed to minimize the Minkowski $p$-norm of the resulting vector of visit/service times.

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2023 Sixty percent of all law enforcement officers (LEOs) experience low back pain (LBP), with the LEO duty belt (LEODB) commonly reported to be a contributing factor. The primary purpose of the study was to investigate the LEODB’s effect on muscular activity

Online Firefighting on Trees [PDF]
, 2018 In the Firefighter problem, introduced by Hartnell in 1995, a fire spreads through a graph while a player chooses which vertices to protect in order to contain it. In this paper, we focus on the case of trees and we consider as well the Fractional Firefighter game where the amount of protection allocated to a vertex lies between 0 and 1.

Energy Cost of the Trondheim Firefighter Test for Experienced Firefighters [PDF]
International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 2013 The aim of this study was to measure aerobic demands of fire fighting activities including exercise in the heat.Twenty-two experienced firefighters performed the Trondheim test simulating fire fighting tasks including work in the heat. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max), heart rate (HR) and ventilation were recorded continuously.

Maximizing vertex rescue: investigating the firefighter problem with edge subdivision
AKCE International Journal of Graphs and CombinatoricsThe firefighter problem is a game played on a connected graph where a fire breaks out at a vertex. In each round, a firefighter chooses a vertex to protect, and the fire then spreads to all unprotected neighbors of the burning vertex.
