Exact Solutions for the Moving Firefighter Problem on Trees

open access: yesNetworks, 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

Interdiction Models and Heuristics for Graph Propagation

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given a graph G=(V,E)$$ G=\left(V,E\right) $$ and a set S⊂V$$ S\subset V $$ of activated/infected nodes, we consider the problem of determining the set of c$$ c $$ nodes that minimizes the network propagation on the subgraph that results from the removal of those c$$ c $$ nodes. To measure network propagation, we assume that a node i$$ i $$ is

Catchment conversion to agriculture alters freshwater macroinvertebrate community responses to flow disturbance: results from a replicated in‐stream experiment

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Developing a Heterogeneous Attenuation Model for Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites in the Kilohertz Region of the Ultrasonic Spectrum

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Acquisition, filtering and modeling by genetic programming (tree pattern) of the acoustic signal for fiber‐filled composites. ABSTRACT This study experimentally investigated the discrete phase contributions of fibers and entrapped air on the attenuation spectrum of a fiber‐filled thermoplastic composite and derives a mathematical expression for sound ...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Dynamic Impact Response of Hat‐Shaped Basalt Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Composite Structures With Improved Interfacial Properties

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract illustrating the experimental design and key findings of the study. ABSTRACT Basalt fiber‐reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites are gaining attention as sustainable alternatives to conventional fiber‐reinforced polymers owing to their favorable mechanical properties and environmental advantages.
