MOTIVATION The genetic basis of complex traits often involves the function of multiple genetic factors, their interactions and the interaction between the genetic and environmental factors. Gene-environment (G×E) interaction is considered pivotal in determining trait variations and susceptibility of many genetic disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases or mental disorders. Regression-based ...

In this article, we investigate different market structures where decision makers are incentivized by both profit and revenue. Our innovation is that consider managers evaluate revenue in a non-linear way, exhibiting diminishing marginal utility. This implies incremental changes revenue—for example, due to demand shocks—generate production choices depend on the existing base of firm. We show in...

We compare the slow dynamics of irreversible gels, colloidal gels, glasses and spin glasses by analyzing the behavior of the so called non-linear dynamical susceptibility, a quantity usually introduced to quantitatively characterize the dynamical heterogeneities. In glasses this quantity typically grows with the time, reaches a maximum and then decreases at large time, due to the transient natu...
