I study the welfare consequences of land use regulations for low- and high-skilled workers within a city. detailed geographic data Cook County Chicago in 2015-2016, together with spatial quantitative model two types real estate developers who face regulations. For identification, 1923 Zoning Ordinance, which was first comprehensive ordinance Chicago. find that an increase 10 percentage points s...

BACKGROUND Because it is widely played, claims that smoking restrictions will adversely affect bingo games is used as an argument against these policies. We used publicly available data from Massachusetts to assess the impact of 100% smoke-free ordinances on profits from bingo and other gambling sponsored by charitable organisations between 1985 and 2001. METHODS We conducted two analyses: (1...

This paper presents our industrial experience on Bioinformatics. We define one-dimensional model with latency (delays) and acceleration using mixed discrete and continuous (hybrid) dynamics of an industrial radiation therapy system with respiratory compensation using Open Modelica tool. We then investigate and analyze the model with several tumor movement trajectories.

This paper proposes a discrete-time repetitive optimal control of electrically driven robotic manipulators using an uncertainty estimator. The proposed control method can be used for performing repetitive motion, which covers many industrial applications of robotic manipulators. This kind of control law is in the class of torque-based control in which the joint torques are generated by permanen...

Hidden Markov Model is a popular statisical method that is used in continious and discrete speech recognition. The probability density function of observation vectors in each state is estimated with discrete density or continious density modeling. The performance (in correct word recognition rate) of continious density is higher than discrete density HMM, but its computation complexity is very ...
