This paper investigates Sequential Halving as a selection policy in the following four partially observable games: Go Fish, Lost Cities, Phantom Domineering, and Phantom Go. Additionally, H-MCTS is studied, which uses Sequential Halving at the root of the search tree, and UCB elsewhere. Experimental results reveal that H-MCTS performs the best in Go Fish, whereas its performance is on par in Lo...

"Using published census data, metropolitan area population and employment statistics are constructed for several large Latin American cities in 1950, 1960, and 1970, and compared to similar statistics from selected North American cities. The Latin cities are experiencing decentralization of population and some decentralization of employment. Overall population density patterns of large Latin ci...

Shrinking cities are widespread throughout the world despite the rapidly increasing global urban population. These cities are attempting to transition to sustainable trajectories to improve the health and well-being of urban residents, to build their capacity to adapt to changing conditions and to cope with major events. The dynamics of shrinking cities are different than the dynamics of growin...
