In 2014, Amin, Heidari, and Kearns proved that tree networks can be learned by observing only the infected set of vertices of the contagion process under the independent cascade model, in both the active and passive query models. They also showed empirically that simple extensions of their algorithms work on sparse networks. In this work, we focus on the active model. We prove that a simple mod...

Pupil cycling was produced using an electronic circuit so that the retina was illuminated in Maxwellian view only when pupil area exceeded an adjustable area threshold, Aref. The maximum (Amax) and minimum (Amin) amplitude of the oscillations varied linearly with Aref. These observations are described by a delay-differential equation. The Aref-dependent changes in Amax, Amin were used, respecti...

Many real-world systems (such as cellular telephones and transportation) are acyclic multi-state information networks (AMIN). These networks are composed of multi-state nodes, with different states determined by a set of nodes that receive a signal directly from these multi-state nodes, without satisfying the conservation law. Evaluating the AMIN reliability arises at the design and exploitatio...

In the aftermath of the tragic events of 9/11, I became responsible for research and development (R&D) on infrastructure security at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). At first, I was faced with many reports and files claiming either that “we were bullet proof” or that “the sky was falling.” It turned out that neither extreme was true of the entire electric-power sector. The truth de...
