Description:: In this paper, we focus on the issue of price discrimination based upon position of individuals in the social network. The problem of price discrimination based upon position in the social network has received significant attention in recent years. However, the question of interest in the research has been to characterize and identify optimal pr...

Description:: A movement that is convergent across many academic health centers is the development of a centralized electronic repository based on patient data from hospitals in which laboratory measurements, vital signs, longitudinal measurements and claims data are collected. The availability of such data warehouses should theoretically give investigators t...

Description:: Modern online marketplaces feed themselves. They rely on historical data to optimize content and user-interactions, but further, the data generated from these interactions is fed back into the system and used to optimize future interactions. As this cycle continues, good performance requires algorithms capable of learning actively through sequen...

Description:: Recent work has demonstrated the interesting dynamics possible when considering multicomponent vesicles. Up to now, the dynamics of two dimensional vesicles have been studied. In this work, the dynamics of fully three-dimensional, multicomponent vesicles in the presence of electric fields will be investigated. Building upon a volume and surface ...

Description:: Recent comparisons of theoretical models of contact lines with experimental results (Podgorski et al. 2001, Winkels et al. 2011, Puthenveettil et al. 2013, Benilov & Benilov 2015) show that, in some cases, the most popular model â€“ based on the Navier-slip condition and a prescribed contact angle â€“ works only if the slip length is unreasonabl...

Description:: Classical optimal control problems for (ordinary, stochastic, or evolutionary partial) differential equations have the following feature: When an optimal control is found for a given initial time and initial state, the optimal control will remain optimal as time goes by along the optimal trajectory. This is called the time-consistency of the pro...

Description:: Living nematic is a realization of an active matter combining a nematic liquid crystal with swimming bacteria. The material exhibits a remarkable tendency towards spatio-temporal self-organization manifested in the creation ofÂ dynamic textures of self-propelled half-integer topological defects (disclinations or vortices). The well-established a...

Description:: There is emerging interest in using soft materials for energy conversion, particularly in the conversion of light and heat energy into mechanical work. Liquid crystals, where the coupling of orientational order and strain/stress may be employed for this purpose, are promising materials for such applications. The celebrated work of Onsager [1] on...

Description:: There is tremendous growth in agriculture big data such as high-resolution remote sensing data for global agricultural monitoring, weather prediction for crop insurance, and precision agricultural maps from soil-quality to yield. Thus, there is growing interest in leveraging this big data for smart agriculture to enable farmers to optimize farm ...

Description:: There is a several decade history demonstrating that electrical polarization of neurons can modulate neuronal firing, and that such polarization can suppress (or excite) spiking activity and seizures. In recent years, we uncovered a unification in the computational biophysics of spikes, seizures, and spreading depression (Wei et al J Neurosci 34...
