The Automated Network Games Enhancement Layer (ANGEL) project aims to leverage machine learning techniques to automate the classification and isolation of interactive (e.g. games, voice over IP) and noninteractive (e.g. web) traffic. This information is then used to dynamically reconfigure the network to improve the Quality of Service provided to the current interactive traffic flows and subseq...

This study examines how venture capitals (VCs) value crowd-based decisions compared to expert decisions from the perspective of signaling theory. We collect data on both crowd-funded startups and matching angel-funded startups. We track sequential financing rounds and analyze whether VCs show different valuations of the two types of startups. Our results show no statistically significant differ...

Just as physics requires a different set of tools to explore phenomena at the quantum scale, chemistry requires a quantum paradigm. At the macroscale, the interaction of light with chemical entities can be observed in processes such as photosynthesis. But the actual interaction between photons and other matter occurs in the realm of quantum chemistry. National Academy of Sciences member and phy...

This paper outlines the design and implementation of the Fallen Angel, an autonomous mobile robot that can act as a personal emergency response system. Fallen Angel patrols the home avoiding obstacles while searching for someone who has fallen on the ground. Once a person is detected lying on the floor using face detection, it calls for help by sending preprogrammed text messages and e-mails to...

What happens when investment grade bonds are downgraded to junk status? The received wisdom is that these fallen angels are sold by fixed income investors who, by regulation, are prohibited from investing substantial portions of their portfolios in speculative grade paper. We investigate insurance company sales of bonds that were downgraded to junk in order to document the extent of forced sell...

gobies, which obtain most of their food via cleaning. Some obligate cleaners, such as L. bicolor and L. phthirophagus, mostly eat fish mucus and so are not considered as cooperative as the rest. But even the supposedly very cooperative ones, like L. dimidiatus, will eat mucus when they can get it. Most cleaner fish, however, are facultative cleaners which means they do not rely solely on cleani...

Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of nighttime bracing in AIS. Methods: Inclusion criteria were patients diagnosed with AIS and skeletal immature. With an apex of the primary curve from TH7 and below and with a Cobb angel between 2045 degrees. The patients were asked to wear the brace at least 7-8 hours pr. night. No other previous treatments were accepted and a follow up at least 6 months out ...
