BACKGROUND Sight impairment increases with age and, compared with the general older population, older people with sight impairment are more likely to fall. There is a growing body of evidence on the views and perceptions of older people about falls, but little is published on the views of older people with sight impairment. OBJECTIVE To explore what older people with sight impairment believe ...

Given ω ≥ 1, let Z2(ω) be the graph with vertex set Z 2 in which two vertices are joined if they agree in one coordinate and differ by at most ω in the other. (Thus Z2(1) is precisely Z .) Let pc(ω) be the critical probability for site percolation in Z2(ω). Extending recent results of Frieze, Kleinberg, Ravi and Debany, we show that limω→∞ ωpc(ω) = log(3/2). We also prove analogues of this resu...

We consider decision-making and game scenarios in which an agent is limited by his/her computational ability to foresee all the available moves towards the future – that is, we study scenarios with short sight. We focus on how short sight affects the logical properties of decision making in multi-agent settings. We start with single-agent sequential decision making (SSDM) processes, modeling th...

What is the worst thing about an academic career? The bureaucracy. Since becoming a parent time has become particularly precious to me, yet I seem to spend so much of my time in meetings and filling out forms that I am almost too busy to tell anyone how busy I am — and that’s even before doing any research! I have learned to adapt by switching my mind rapidly in and out of work mode when requir...
