Asymptotic Efficiency in Stackelberg Markets with Incomplete Information by Jianbo Zhang and Zhentang Zhang This paper examines the asymptotic (in)efficiency of Stackelberg markets with incomplete information. Firms who are early in the queue make their quantity choices based on limited information and their output choices are likely to deviate from those optimal under complete information. Due...

Personalization or computer-tailoring refers to the adaptation of the output of a persuasive technological system to the individual. To be able to produce the tailored persuasive output, individual characteristics must be known to the computer system, for example, through sensors, data-bases, or self-report questionnaires. This information is used to compose a personalized output on the basis o...

This article presents a fairly complete account on various topological and metrical aspects of feedback stabilization for single-input single-output (SISO) continuous discrete time linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. In particular, we prove that the set stabilizing output gains SISO system with n states have at most [n/2] connected components. Furthermore, our analysis yields an algorithm dete...

The hemodynamic consequences of cardiac arrhythmias depend on various factors, including the ventricular rate and the duration of the abnormal rate, the temporal relationship between atrial and ventricular activity, the sequence of ventricular activation, the functional state of the heart, the irregularity of the cycle length, associated drug therapy, the peripheral vascular vasomotor system, d...

I curves have been used in the past for the determination of cardiac output," measurement of so-called cardiopulmonary or central blood volume," detection of intracardiac shunts," and, more recently, in an attempt to quantify valvular insufficiency." Despite the extensive literature which has accumulated and which has been recently reviewed by Dow, a complete, theoretical analysis of the indica...

The hemodynamic changes associated with complete heart block complicating acute myocardial infarction and the effects of artificial pacing at various rates on these measurements were studied in 13 patients. Studies were performed on the first day of complete block in all patients and were repeated on subsequent days in six. With two exceptions cardiac output was increased by pacing. In patients...
