Decentralized utilitarian mechanisms for scheduling games
(Elsevier, 2015)
Game Theory and Mechanism Design are by now standard tools for studying and designing massive decentralized systems. Unfortunately, designing mechanisms that induce socially efficient outcomes often requires full information ...
Thermo-mechanical ratcheting in soil–structure interfaces
(Springer Verlag, 2019)
© 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.This paper proposes and validates a thermo-mechanical ratcheting mechanism that explains the cumulative displacement of soil–continuum interfaces when subjected ...
Identifying Sequential Substrate Binding at the Single-Molecule Level by Enzyme Mechanical Stabilization
(ACS Publications, 2015)
Enzyme-substrate binding is a dynamic process intimately coupled to protein structural changes, which in turn changes the unfolding energy landscape. By the use of single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS), we characterize ...
Incentive compatible and stable trade mechanisms on networks
(Academic Press, 2017)
We study a network of buyers and sellers where each seller owns an indivisible object and has no incentive to keep it, while each buyer has a downward sloping demand curve which is private information. Only the connected ...
Stability and receptivity of boundary layers in a swirl flow channel
(Springer-Verlag Wien, 2018)
© 2018, Springer-Verlag GmbH Austria, part of Springer Nature. The analysis of the disturbances on a spiraling base flow is relevant for the design, operation, and control of technological devices such as parallel-disk ...
Characterization and analysis of the basic elements of health payment mechanisms and their most frequent types
(Medwave Estudios, 2020)
Introduction
Healthcare systems are developed in imperfect scenarios, in which there are constant failures (uncertainty, information asymmetry, agency relationship problem, and supply-induced demand). These failures, ...
Relationship between nucleophilicity/electrophilcity indices and reaction mechanisms for the nucleophilic substitution reactions of carbonyl compounds
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2004)
Theoretical electrophilicity and nucleophilicity scales, defined in terms of electronic reactivity indices, were tested for the reaction of a series of carbonates with neutral and charged reagents of varying nucleophilicity. ...
Stoichiometry and oxygen structure of Fe sillenite
(1986)
The sillenite phase in the Bi2O3-Fe2O3 system has been characterized by X-ray, infrared absorption and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The composition corresponded to a concentration of 3.7 ± 0.2 mol% Fe2O3 only ...
Fracture statistic of torsion and flexure in glass rectangular bars
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1992)
Fracture statistics in rectangular bars subjected to torsion and to three-point bending are studied and the cumulative probabilities of fracture using Weibull's functions for materials that exhibit volume brittleness are ...
Metallic behavior of Pd atomic clusters
(2007)
We report a study of the nonmetal-metal transition of free-standing Pd N clusters (2≤N≤21) carried out through two different theoretical approaches that are extensively employed in electronic structure calculations: a ...
