V/ I do not know if there is any literature on the subject, and this is my excuse for publishing the results of a few observations made on the subject during the treatment of certain diseases. On the 2nd September, 1916, a patient was brought to the hospital 'with general anasarca. The case was diagnosed as one of Bright's disease. He was given the usual treatment of purgatives without effect. ...

The current art in optimal combinatorial auctions is limited to handling the case of single units of multiple items, with each bidder bidding on exactly one bundle (single minded bidders). This paper extends the current art by proposing an optimal auction for procuring multiple units of multiple items when the bidders are single minded. The auction minimizes the cost of procurement while satisf...

This paper considers a firm whose potential employees have private information on both their productivity and the extent of their fairness concerns. Fairness is modelled as inequity aversion, where fair-minded workers suffer if their colleagues get more income net of production costs. Screening workers with equal productivity but different fairness concerns is shown to be impossible if both typ...

In this paper we numerically investigate the effect of relative phase on thestability of temporal bright solitons in a Nano PT- Symmetric nonlinear directionalcoupler (NLDC) by considering gain in bar and loss in cross. We also study the effect ofrelative phase on the output perturbed bright solitons energies, in the range of   0 to 180 . By using perturbation theory three eigenfunctions an...
