A binary de Bruijn sequence has the property that every n-tuple is distinct on a given period of length 2". An efficient algorithm to generate a class of classi- cal de Bruijn sequences is given based upon the distance between cycles within the Good - de Bruijn digraph. The de Bruijn property on binary sequences is shown to be a randomness property of the ZERO and ONE run sequences. Utilizing this randomness we find additional new structure in de Bruijn sequences. We analyze binary sequences that are not de Bruijn but instead possess the sufficient structure so that every distinct binary n-tuple can be systematically "combed" out of the se- quence. These complete or nonclassical de Bruijn sequences are a generalization of the well-known de Bruijn cycle. Our investigation focuses on binary sequences, called double Eulerian cycles, that define a cycle along a graph (digraph) visiting each edge (arc) exactly twice. A new algorithm to generate a class of double Eulerian cycles on graphs and digraphs is found. Double Eulerian cycles along the binary Good - de Bruijn digraph are partitioned by the run structure of their defining sequences. This partition allows for a statistical analysis to determine the relative size of the set of complete cycles defined by the sequences we study. A measure that categorizes double Eulerian cycles along graphs (digraphs) by the distance between the two visitations of each edge (arc) is provided. An algorithm to generate double Eulerian cycles of minimum measure is given. http://archive.org/details/doubleeulericycl1094542901 U.S. Army (USA) author Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

The article focuses on the research by students on the declining number of the Florida scrub lizard. The scrub lizard is found in the Central and Atlantic coast regions of Florida. The preservation of the spatial configuration and size of scrub habitat patches is the only solution for the survival of the Florida scrub lizard. They live in an open sandy area of a scrub patch which is deteriorating with each day due to human development. The students researched extensively on the problem and gave innovative ideas to solve it. The problem of fire suppression is one of the major causes for the declining number of lizards. The students prepared a model to check fecundity and survival rates of the endangering species. To analyze the migration of lizards from one patch to another viable probability models and informative simulations were used by the students.

This article presents the views of the judges of the 3rd Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling that was held in the United States. The judges appreciate the effort and creativity of the teams that participated in the contest. They said that the interdisciplinary problem of preventing the Zebra mussel growth was very difficult and it required a combination of science and mathematics to solve it. Zebra mussels are causing tremendous problems for the ecosystem and the regional economies throughout the eastern waterways of the United States.

The article presents the author's views on research papers related to elephant population. The focus of the research was to construct a mathematical model that measures the population growth of elephants under certain conditions. Different approaches, like analytic model, population model, and simulations, were employed by research teams to construct the model. In the beginning, the chief exercise was to develop a model that investigated the use of contraceptive darts in birth control.

The article presents the authors' views on how they arrived at the problem of developing a mathematical model for controlling elephant population that was given to research teams during the interdisciplinary contest in modeling. This open-ended and realistic problem was exciting to students of different backgrounds, as it provided real-world application. The goal was to discover the modeling skills of individual students so that they could make significant contributions to the society.
