… for the intruder is a choice, possibly random, of a location in the facility. The same for the guard. Under this approach, the question above could be reformulated as: does the guard have a strategy such that she’ll be able to see the intruder with a probability of, say, 95 percent, irrespective of the intruder’s choice? The above is but the most basic version of the visibility game; it is only the tip of the iceberg. As the project progresses, we will be studying several extensions of the … the players’ optimal strategies; visibility graphs will be called for to analyze and simplify the geometry. Where analytical solutions are not easily available, algorithmic solutions (e.g. for the optimal strategies) will be sought. 1 (a) The guard can see the intruder no matter where they are (b) The guard is unable to see the intruder KEYWORDS: Game theory, value, visibility graph, art gallery theorem, museum guarding problem.

… stimuli and stressors in the lab, measuring stress reactivity (2) experiments in which we induce stress and then offer an exercise to increase positive emotions; (3) analyses of daily-life data from an experience sampling study in which participants with BPD traits register emotions as well as pleasant and unpleasant events. Impact: Knowledge about the relationship between BPD and positive emotion reactivity may point to currently underused possibilities for enhancing mental health and psychological treatment in individuals with BPD. Purposefully inducing positive emotions in therapy may contribute to better well-being and improved stress-regulation.
