Equestrian activities in Romania: The Vaulting Discipline by Flavia Bochiș

“…Whatever the side of the arena you’re pick on, you must agree that it’s need a very well balanced and good character horse and a graceful rider. Shortly described as gymnastics on horseback, the Vaulting discipline is a harmonious exercise, performed on a horse, by an athlete that creates aweinspiring acrobatic displays of skill and precision. …”

Indecomposable permutations with a given number of cycles by Robert Cori, Claire Mathieu

“…The asymptotic probability is monotone in $m/n$, and there is no threshold phenomenon: it degrades gracefully from $1$ to $0$. When $n=2m$, a slight majority ($51.1 \ldots$ percent) of the permutations are indecomposable. …”

The Combinatorics of Local Constraints in Model-Based Recognition and Localization from Sparse Data by Grimson, W. Eric L.

“…The results are used to demonstrate the graceful degradation of the recognition technique with the presence of noise in the data, and to predict the number of data points needed in general to uniquely determine the object being sensed.…”

Dispatching multiple robots in a urban environment (A) by Chulpaibul, Jiraporn

“…Given a graph of a patrol area and a specified number of robots, it partitions the graph into non-overlapping subgraphs for each robot using K-Means clustering and generates patrolling routes to minimize the distance of the longest route using Greedy algorithm and heuristic rules. In addition, it gracefully handles an accident by assigning the nearest robot to the site and mapping the remaining robots to new clusters while minimizing the shift of clusters using Linear programming.…”

Budget-feasible maximum nash social welfare is almost envy-free by Wu, X, Li, B, Gan, J

“…The approximation ratio improves gracefully when the items have small costs compared with the agents' budgets; it converges to 1/2 when the budget-cost ratio approaches infinity.…”
