Firefighters under alert: psychological morbidity, empathy and alexithymia between firefighters and non-firefighters

open access: yesPSICOLOGIA, 2023
Firefighters have high exposure to traumatic events and have an increased risk of developing symptoms related to trauma. The current study assessed the psychological morbidity, empathy and alexithymia of volunteer firefighters compared to career firefighters and to non-firefighter comparators from the general population. Group differences were assessed

Efficient Removal of Short‐Chain Perfluoroalkyl Substances by Cavity‐Directed Aggregation in a Molecular Cage Host

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A molecular cage exhibits strong entropy‐driven encapsulation of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), accommodating up to four short‐chain guests as anionic aggregates. Guided by these molecular‐level insights, a novel host‐in‐host adsorbent is developed: mesoporous silica doped with 1 wt% cage achieves >98% removal of short‐ and long‐chain PFAS with full

Firefighting on trees

open access: yesTheoretical Computer Science, 2019
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.

The Firefighter Problem: A Structural Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We consider the complexity of the firefighter problem where b>=1 firefighters are available at each time step. This problem is proved NP-complete even on trees of degree at most three and budget one (Finbow et al.,2007) and on trees of bounded degree b+3
