Balancing Lexicographic Fairness and a Utilitarian Objective with Application to Kidney Exchange [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Balancing fairness and efficiency in resource allocation is a classical economic and computational problem. The price of fairness measures the worst-case loss of economic efficiency when using an inefficient but fair allocation rule; for indivisible goods in many settings, this price is unacceptably high.

Red Multi‐Resonant Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters as Bioimaging Agents

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Multi‐resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR‐TADF) emitters have attracted strong interest for use in electroluminescent devices due to their high photoluminescence quantum yield and narrowband emission. These properties, along with red emission, are also crucial for bioimaging probes.

Bilirubin Targeting WNK1 to Alleviate NLRP3‐Mediated Neuroinflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
At physiological concentrations, bilirubin binds to the kinase domain of WNK1, thereby augmenting its activity and facilitating the phosphorylation of downstream SPAK/OSR1. This phosphorylation inhibits KCC2 activity, leading to elevate intracellular chloride levels in neurons.
