In this paper, we propose a new efficient algorithm to compute the value function for zero-sum stopping games featuring two players with opposing interests. This can be seen as a game version of the ''forward algorithm'' for (one-player) optimal stopping problem, first introduced by Irle [6] for discrete-time Markov processes and later revisited by Miclo \& Villeneuve [8] for continuous-time Markov processes on general state spaces. This paper focuses on a game driven by a homogeneous Markov process taking values in a finite state space and also discusses about the number of iterations needed. Illustrated computational implementations for a few particular examples are also provided.

<p>HALO is a new pedestrian bridge and urban elevator in Vigo (Spain), as a result of a design competition. It overcomes a height difference of over 40 m, connecting neighbourhoods and providing access to the new plaza on the roof of the intermodal station, while crossing over the AP-9 highway leading into the city. Its main components are an elevator tower and a circular walkway with a diameter of 84 m, featuring two divergent paths. These form a promenade and a viewpoint over Vigo’s estuary, one covered and sheltered from the rain, and the other open to the landscape. Completed in February 2024, it stands out for its finishes and architectural forms, as its structural design and construction process. </p>

Fix for bismark not being a supported aligner. Run ataqv (https://github.com/ParkerLab/ataqv) to calculate additional ATAQ-seq quality control metrics. Workaround for some bcbioRNASeq plots failing with many samples when <code>interesting_groups</code> is not set. Add <code>known_fusions</code> parameter for passing in known fusions to arriba. Fix for tx2gene not working properly on some GTF files. Sort MACS2 output with UNIX sort to avoid memory issues. Run RiP on full peak file for ATAC-seq. Run ataqv on unfiltered BAM file with the full peak file. Run peddy on the population variant file, not the individual sample level file if joint calling was done. Add STAR to MultiQC metrics. Throw an error if STAR is run on a genome with alts. Don't run bcbioRNASeq if there is only one sample. Thanks to @kmendler for the suggestion. Improve arriba sensitivity by setting <code>--peOverlapNbasesMin 10</code> and <code>--alignSplicedMateMapLminOverLmate 0.5</code> when running STAR (see https://github.com/suhrig/arriba/issues/41). Make TPM and counts files from tximport automatically. Use --keepDuplicates when making the Salmon index. This keeps transcripts that are identical in the index instead of randomly choosing one. This helps when comparing to other ways of quantifying the transcripts, ensuring all of the transcripts are represented. Remove unnecessary "quant" subdirectory for Salmon runs. This allows MultiQC to properly name the samples. Ensure STAR log file is propagated to the upload directory. Fix issue with memory not being specified properly when running <code>bcbio_prepare_samples.py</code>. Run tximport automatically and store TPM in <code>project/date/tpm</code> and counts in <code>project/date/counts</code>. Calculate ENCODE quality flags for ATAC-seq. See https://www.encodeproject.org/data-standards/terms/#library for a description of what the metrics mean. Fix for command line being too long while joint genotyping thousands of samples. Fix for command line being too long when running the CWL workflow with cromwell.

La medición de deformaciones en elementos estructurales es una tarea que requiere extremas pre- cauciones tanto en el diseño y montaje del elemento de medi ción como en la interpretación de las lecturas. En general, en el cálculo resistente de estructuras se dimensionan los el ementos que la conforman de modo que sean capaces de soportar las cargas aplicadas y que la deformación que éstos sufren no afecte su desempeño normal. Este concepto produce una complicación mayor al momento de medir las deformaciones provocadas por las cargas dado que, como premisa de diseño, tales deformaciones deben ser peque ñas. Como consecuencia, la magnitud de las deformaciones de in terés son del mismo orden que las pr ovocadas por factores externos co- mo es el caso de la dilatación térmica. En este trabajo se estudia la manera en que la dilatación térmica afecta las mediciones de deformación sobre una viga sometida a esfu erzos efectuados mediante el uso de un dispositivo específico, y se presentan alternativas para compensar tales mediciones de modo que la lectura final sólo con- tenga la información deseada. El sistem a de interés se compone de una viga de gran tamaño en la que se dispone un instrumento de medición de deform ación en paralelo y un termómetro que determina la temperatura del am- biente. Las masas invol ucradas en cada uno de los elementos hacen que las variaciones en el tiempo de sus tem- peraturas sean muy distintas y, en consecuencia, también lo son las dilataciones térmicas asociadas. Para com- prender y compensar este fenómeno, se presenta en prim era instancia el estudio del fenómeno físico que vincula el calor aportado al sistema y las ma sas y temperaturas de los elementos i nvolucrados. Los resultados obtenidos son contrastados con medicione s de laboratorio. En segunda instancia se a borda el análisis de mediciones expe- rimentales de campo y se propone un m odelo computacional basado en la op timización de redes neuronales arti- ficiales para discriminar el esfuerzo de la dilatación térmica.

&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;The European Emissions Stage 5b standard for diesel passenger cars regulates particulate matter to 0.0045 g/km and non-volatile part/km greater than 23 nm size to 6.0x10₁₁ as determined by the PMP procedure that uses a heated evaporation tube to remove semi-volatile material. Measurement artifacts associated with the evaporation tube technique prevents reliable extension of the method to a lower size range. Catalytic stripper (CS) technology removes possible sources of these artifacts by effectively removing all hydrocarbons and sulfuric acid in the gas phase in order to avoid any chemical reactions or re-nucleation that may cause measurement complications. The performance of a miniature CS was evaluated and experimental results showed solid particle penetration was 50% at 10.5 nm. The sulfate storage capacity integrated into the CS enabled it to chemically remove sulfuric acid vapor rather than rely on dilution to prevent nucleation. Sulfuric acid re-nucleation was not observed until the challenge concentration was higher than 10 mg/m₃. Additionally, the CS fully removed monodisperse tetracontane particles as large as 220 nm at a concentration of 10,000 part/cm₃. A prototype "CS VPR" was constructed using the miniature CS and preliminary measurements from a field study are reported.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Healthy life style has increased its penetration among people in the last years. The number of licenses for practicing snow and mountain activities certificates it with an over 7% increase year by year. Due to this, expert skiers or excursionist have slightly modified traditional patterns in their activities, moving from controlled zones, such as ski resorts or typical mountain paths, to non-protected zones, thus increasing the risk of suffering an avalanche. Over 150 people die buried by snow avalanches every year, in this scenario survival probabilities are tightly related with the time employed for finding victims, being critical the first 15 minutes. Most of the existing solutions require the presence of special elements not allowing the start of the rescue once the avalanche has finished, or when allows it, they are not as quick as needed in this kind of scenarios. This work presents an alternative solution focused on accelerating the detecting process and the rescue by facilitating its use with a very intuitive set of orders. Exploiting the possibilities offered by GNSS and ICT technologies (low power low range mesh networks), the system will be capable of detecting buried victims with only the information generated by the system. Furthermore, the context information provided by a control center accelerates the rescue process and optimizes the work of professional rescue team. This paper presents the theoretical basis of signal propagation through the snow and the set of functions implemented for accomplishing the system scope.

Recent research on stand-alone focused on the improvement and development of functions for solving problems such as the limited operating time of stand-alone installed at dwelling and their low reliability caused by false alarms, but it is more urgent to study on the operating range of stand-alone sensor in consideration of the impacts of combustion products on residents because the primary goal of fire safety is minimizing casualties. This study purposed to propose the optimized operating range of stand-alone sensor in consideration of the impacts of combustion products on residents. For this purpose, we made a mathematical approach to the change of temperature over the lapse of time in compartment fires similar to house fires, and established the standards of the body's response against heat and smoke based on literature review. In addition, we surveyed domestic and foreign technological standards for stand-alone sensor, and converted them to standards for residents of the body's response against heat and smoke using mathematical model equations and analyzed them comparatively.
