The Functional Rent Advisor (FRA) extends the functionality and applicability of the \Mietspiegel" for the city of Munich so that the user needs not to give all required information. The FRA is implemented using the high-level purely functional language Haskell....

We describe a \topology advisor" for routing of critical (multi-source) buses in building-block design. The tool accepts as input a block layout, a two-layer routing cost structure superposed over the block layout, terminal locations for a multi-source bus, and source-sink delay upper bound (linear or Elmore delay) constraints for all terminal pairs. The b best routing solutions (b a user param...

An informed advisor wishes to convey her valuable information to an uninformed decision maker with identical preferences. Thus she has a current incentive to truthfully reveal her information. But if the decision maker thinks that the advisor might be biased in favor of one decision and the advisor does not wish to be thought to be biased, the advisor has a reputational incentive to lie. If the...

Abstract Background In adults with C. difficile infection (CDI), higher baseline stool concentrations of toxins A and B are associated severe disease, CDI-attributable outcomes, recurrence. We evaluated whether toxin concentration predicts these presentations in children CDI. Methods performed a prospective cohort study from 2016-2019. Participants were inpatients ≤17 years old at two pediatric...
