Abstract Objectives Crime pattern theory and the related empirical research have remained rather a-temporal, as if timing of routine activities crime plays no role. Building on previous geography research, we extend propose that an offender’s spatial knowledge acquired during daily is not equally applicable to all times day. Methods We put this extended a first test by applying discrete choice ...

Computationalorigami is a parallel-processing concept in which a regular array of processors can be folded along any dimension so that it can be simulated by a smaller number of processors. The problem of assigning functions to each of the processors is very much like the generalized electrical circuit layout problem. This paper presents a simple, polynomial time algorithm for placing and routi...

First we present a new variant of Merge-sort, which needs only 1.25n space, because it uses space again, which becomes available within the current stage. It does not need more comparisons than classical Merge-sort. The main result is an easy to implement method of iterating the procedure in-place starting to sort 4/5 of the elements. Hereby we can keep the additional transport costs linear and...
