Patients are valuable sources of expertise for other patients in similar situations, but little is understood about the nature of this expertise. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated informational support as a mechanism for peers to help one another learn to cope with the breast cancer experience. We analyzed the types of problems discussed and recommendations offered by correspondent...

A model of taxation for cooperative n-person games is introduced where proper coalitions are taxed proportionally to their value. Games with non-empty core under taxation at rate e are a-balanced. Sharp bounds on e in matching games on (not necessarily bipartite) graphs are established. Upper and lower bounds on the smallest e in bin packing games are derived and euclidean random TSP games are ...

Abstract Leadership in art museums is a changing construct: historically, these institutions were established as hierarchical, top‐down structures that prioritized sole expertise to dictate success. Today, are searching for ways become more responsive, collaborative, and multivocal value community voices expertise. A growing variety of museum professionals ask how better reflect integrate local...

The problem of bin packing with arbitrary conflicts was introduced in [3]. In this paper, we consider a restricted problem, bin packing with clique-graph conflicts. We prove bounds for several approximation algorithms, and show that certain onand off-line algorithms are equivalent. Finally, we present an optimal polynomial-time algorithm for the case of constant item sizes, and analyze its perf...

Crafting scalable analytics in order to extract actionable business intelligence is a challenging endeavour, requiring multiple layers of expertise and experience. Often, this expertise is irreconcilably split between an organisation’s engineers and subjectmatter domain experts. Previous approaches to this problemhave relied on technically adept users with tool-specific training. Such an approa...
