This paper presents a new partial two-player game, called the cannibal animal game, which is a variant of Tic-Tac-Toe. The game is played on the infinite grid, where in each round a player chooses and occupies free cells. The first player Alice can occupy a cell in each turn and wins if she occupies a set of cells, the union of a subset of which is a translated, reflected and/or rotated copy of a previously agreed upon polyomino P (called an animal). The objective of the second player Bob is to prevent Alice from creating her animal by occupying in each round a translated, reflected and/or rotated copy of P. An animal is a cannibal if Bob has a winning strategy, and a non-cannibal otherwise. This paper presents some new tools, such as the bounding strategy and the punching lemma, to classify animals into cannibals or non-cannibals. We also show that the pairing strategy works for this problem.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la eficiencia del modelo de Green-Ampt en la predicción de la infiltración del agua en el suelo haciendo uso de funciones de pedotransferencia (FPT) de Saxton y Rawls (SR), Wösten y Nemes (WN) y las del programa Rosetta (ROS) y analizar el efecto de la carga animal sobre este proceso, por medio de los modelos empíricos de Mezencev (Mez) y el de Swarzendruber (SW), en un establecimiento de producción animal. El estudio se llevó a cabo en un establecimiento sito en la localidad de Marcos Paz, Pcia. de Bs.As. Se eligieron dentro del predio, cuatro grupos de sectores de acuerdo a la intensidad de carga (Ic) : nula (testigo), media, alta y muy alta. El proceso de infiltración se relevó por medio de anillos de Muntz hasta alcanzar la tasa de infiltración básica (TIB). Se tomaron muestras para determinar la densidad aparente (DA), carbono total (CT), humedad gravimétrica (H), conductividad hidráulica saturada (Ks) y se midió la resistencia a la penetración (Rp). Se llevaron a cabo en total 70 ensayos de infiltración y los resultados permitieron concluir que: 1) La carga animal produjo solamente efectos notorios de disminución de la TIB para muy alta Ic. 2) El modelo de SW resultó describir el fenómeno desde el punto de vista físico mejor que el de Mez. 3) La predicción del modelo de GA resultó satisfactoria utilizando las FPT de WN, pero no con las de SR o ROS. 4) Los valores de Ks medidos resultaron entre 5 y 10 veces mayores que los correspondientes de TIB. 5) La TIB dependió sólo de las variables Ic, DA y CT en un modelo de regresión lineal

This survey on calorimetry and thermodynamics of anoxibiosis applies classical and irreversible thermodynamics to interpret experimental, direct calorimetric results in order to elucidate the sequential activation of various biochemical pathways. First, the concept of direct and indirect calorimetry is expanded to incorporate the thermochemistry of aerobic and anoxic metabolism in living cells and organisms. Calorimetric studies done under normoxia as well as under physiological and environmental anoxia are presented and assessed in terms of ATP turnover rate. Present evidence suggests that unknown sources of energy in freshwater and marine invertebrates under long-term anoxia may be important. During physiological hypoxia, thermodynamically grossly inefficient pathways sustain high metabolic rates for brief periods. On the contrary, under long-term environmental anoxia, low steady-state heat dissipation is linked to the more efficient succinate, propionate, and acetate pathways. In the second part of this paper these relationships are discussed in the context of linear, irreversible thermodynamics. The calorimetric and biochemical trends during aerobic-anoxic transitions are consistent with thermodynamic optimum functions of catabolic pathways. The theory predicts a decrease of rate with an increase of thermodynamic efficiency; therefore maximum rate and maximum efficiency are mutually exclusive. Cellular changes of pH and adenylate phosphorylation potential are recognized as regulatory mechanisms in the energetic switching to propionate production. While enzyme kinetics provides one key for understanding metabolic regulation, our insight remains incomplete without a complementary thermodynamic analysis of kinetic control in energetically coupled pathways.
