The growth of yeast cells in batches in glucose-based media is a standard condition in most yeast laboratories. Most gene expression experiments are done by taking this condition as a reference. Presumably, cells are in a stable physiological condition that can be easily reproduced in other laboratories. With this assumption, however, it is necessary to consider that the average amount of the m...

In this paper we design, characterize in closed-form, and evaluate a new index rule for Markovian time-varying channels, which gives rise to a simple opportunistic scheduling rule for flow-level scheduling in wireless downlink systems. For user channels we employ the Gilbert-Elliot model with a flow-level interpretation: the channel condition follows a general two-state Markov chain with distin...

We determine the initial condition on the laminar-turbulent boundary closest to the laminar state using nonlinear optimization for plane Couette flow. Resorting to the general evolution criterion of nonequilibrium systems we optimize the route to the statistically steady turbulent state, i.e., the state characterized by the largest entropy production. This is the first time information from the...

This note projects forward into the distant future number of countries existing under regimes different levels economic liberalism by deriving a transition probability matrix from Economic Freedom World data. Naively extrapolating trends 1970-2020 suggests modest majority 165 will be economically free in long-run steady state, with results driven improvements variables associated freedom to tra...
