Modifying the conventional three‐time‐level semi‐implicit semi‐Lagrangian scheme to eliminate orographically induced spurious resonance

Modifying the Uniform-Price Auction to Eliminate ‘Collusive-Seeming Equilibria’

The uniform-price auction is used in many regional electricity procurement auctions and its “collusive-seeming equilibria” have been linked to potential exercise of market power. Such equilibria do not exist, however, if a small amount of cash is split among rationed bidders. To shed light on what drives this result, I also examine variations in which the auctioneer is able to increase and/or d...

Patient safety: Modifying processes to eliminate medical errors.

Non-Conventional Stochastic Resonance

It is argued, on the basis of linear response theory (LRT), that new types of stochastic resonance (SR) are to be anticipated in diverse systems, quite different from the one most commonly studied to date, which has a static double-well potential and is driven by a net force equal to the sum of periodic and stochastic terms. On this basis, three new nonconventional forms of SR are predicted, so...

Modifying the Black-Scholes model to valuate preemption right

In this paper, we try and valuate preemption rights by modifying the Black-Scholes model, which is widely used to valuate options and other derivatives. Here we first present the basics of the Black-Scholes model and then we discus modification of the model to be fit for preemption right valuation. At the end, we valuate four of the preemptive rights using the proposed model

Secondhand Smoke (SHS) Deserves More Than Secondhand Attention: Modifying the 5As Model to Include Counseling to Eliminate Exposure

Most Americans smoke or are exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS) on a daily basis. Current tobacco treatment guidelines recommend the use of the 5As model to screen and treat primary tobacco users. Evidence supports that SHS is harmful, that the diseases caused by SHS are preventable, and that public health policies and individual counseling are effective in reducing exposure. Further, smoke-free ...
