Randomized Pursuit-Evasion with Local Visibility
We study the following pursuit-evasion game: One or more hunters are seeking to capture an evading rabbit on a graph. At each round, the rabbit tries to gather information about the location of the hunters but it can see them only if they are located on adjacent nodes. We show that two hunters suffice for catching rabbits with such local visibility with high probability. We distinguish between ...
متن کاملEarly Fault Detection Tools
The traditional software development cycle relies mostly on informal methods to capture design errors in its initial phases, and on more rigorous testing methods during the later phases. It is well understood, though, that those bugs that slip through the early design phases tend to cause the most damage to a design. The anomaly of traditional design is therefore that it excels at catching bugs...
متن کاملA Testbed for Evaluating Robot Team Interaction under Operator Supervision
The use of multiple low cost robotic mine hunters to provide rapid and complete area coverage is a promising new approach to the counter mine problem. Fetch 2 , in development, is a system of four robotic mine hunters that will be capable of cooperatively clearing a field under the supervision of a single operator. The robots feature advanced computational and mechanical components, yet are des...
متن کاملThe Serological Surveillance of Hepatitis E virus among Hunters and Foresters in Eastern Poland.
The aim of the study was the analysis of the occurrence of specific antibodies against HEV among hunters and foresters who are at risk to be exposed. The study group consisted of 210 hunters (23-80 years old) and 60 foresters (22-64 years old). Anti-HEV IgG were present in 3.81% of the samples of the hunters and in 5% of the samples of the foresters. The statistical analysis shows no significan...
متن کاملHepatitis E virus antibody prevalence in hunters from a district in Central Germany, 2013: a cross-sectional study providing evidence for the benefit of protective gloves during disembowelling of wild boars
BACKGROUND In Germany, 17% of the general human population have antibodies to hepatitis E virus (HEV) (recomLine HEV-IgG/IgM immunoassay [Mikrogen GmbH]). Wild boars represent an animal reservoir for HEV genotype 3, which is the common genotype in Germany. We estimated the seroprevalence among hunters with contact to wild boars to identify factors that may be associated with past or present HEV...
