In order to make headway in the control of morbidity we must try to answer the following questions: what do we define as schistosomiasis related morbidity, how do we measure it, what is the impact of the detected morbidity on the health of affected communities, what other factors might influence the level of morbidity in an endemic setting, and how can we measure the impact of treatment or inte...

Mixed Multi-Unit Combinatorial Auctions extend and generalize all the preceding types of combinatorial auctions. In this paper, we try to make headway on the practical application of MMUCAs by: (1) providing an algorithm to generate artificial data that is representative of the sort of scenarios a winner determination algorithm is likely to encounter; and (2) subsequently assessing the performa...

In this paper we present a protocol that controls automated autonomous vehicles driving on a multiple merge junction highway. The protocol is distributed and it controls both merging and yielding. We show a simulation study that presents the protocol and its impacts on safety and congestion under diierent operating conditions. Our main result is that for simultaneous safe and eecient operations...

We consider a one-dimensional vehicular network where the time headway (time difference between successive vehicles as they pass a point on the roadway) follows the shifted-exponential distribution. We show that neglecting the impact of shift in the deployment model, which degenerates the distribution of vehicles to a Poisson Point Process, overestimates the temporal correlation of interference...

Analogy is now an active field of research in psychology with many experimental results available and some theoretical work developed. Within the economics literature analogy has made little headway and there has been no attempt to empirically investigate the phenomenon. A new experiment is reported which investigates the role of analogy in picking a strategy in a matching game. It is found tha...
