Worst-case bounds on the expected shortfall risk given only limited information on the distribution of the random variables has been studied extensively in the literature. In this paper, we develop a new worst-case bound on the expected shortfall when the univariate marginals are known exactly and additional expert information is available in terms of bivariate marginals. Such expert informatio...

July 2005 | Volume 3 | Issue 7 | e259 | e244 Cell membranes are largely made of proteins, and membrane proteins account for about a third of all genes. Despite their importance, they are devilishly hard to isolate and stabilize, and therefore are hard to study. The problem lies in their structure: membrane proteins have at least one hydrophobic domain, composed of a stretch of waterrepelling am...

The goal of this research is to develop a basis for utilizing efficient encryption schemes in wireless communications and in devices with low computing power and resources. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) fits well for an efficient and secure encryption scheme. It is more efficient than the ubiquitous RSA based schemes because ECC utilizes smaller key sizes for equivalent security. A comparat...

I ask you to consider the future of education, especially of postsecondary education. If you choose to extrapolate from familiar paragons of academic excellence, you may gloss over a challenging policy conundrum. Progressive leaders around the world are asking for help from education leaders. Their policy goal is to scale up, often to unprecedented levels, the intellectual-capital pool of posts...
