Local government behavior

1989
Local government behavior has been subject to both theoretical and empirical studies. The number of these studies is much larger than of those regarding central or federal government behavior. The main reason for that is the simple fact that there are far more local governments than central or federal governments in a country, which is attractive from ...

Behavior Aware Data Locality for Caches

2012 IEEE 18th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 2012
Optimizing cache performance through improving data locality has been receiving a lot of attention. However, none of the existing approaches can combine each task's behavior to optimize data locality for caches. We present a behavior aware data locality (BADL) to optimize cache performance in this paper. The key idea is to add each task's behavior when

Probabilistic Behavior of Sensor Network Localization

2005
Positioning is a fundamental issue for wireless sensor network operation. Despite the recent proposals for the development of localization algorithms, the probabilistic behavior in position estimation using inaccurate measurements has not been analyzed.

Competitive Behavior in Local Physician Markets

Medical Care Research and Review, 1999
Competition often is viewed as a mechanism for controlling cost. Competition may work well in urban areas with many providers; competition may not exist in rural areas with few providers. The authors use the empirical framework developed by Bresnahan and Reiss to analyze the entry behavior of physicians into local markets to determine the level of ...

Behavioral devaluation by local resistance to dopamine

Nature Neuroscience
Repeated experiences can cause behavior-specific fatigue. We use Drosophila to study this common form of motivational change, finding that prior matings make males more likely to abandon future copulations when challenged. Here we show that, during mating, dopamine signals through the D2-like receptor (D2R) to promote resilience to challenges that ...

Physiological and behavioral studies of sound localization.

Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2013
A critical job of the auditory system is to localize sounds, which depends upon spectral cues provided by the filtering of the pinna for vertical localization and interaural time (ITDs) and level disparities (ILDs) for horizontal localization. We found anatomical and physiological specializations in the circuits that encode these cues.

Incentivizing local behavior in distributed systems

52nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2013
Game theory is a well-established discipline in the social sciences that is primarily used for modeling social behavior. Traditionally, the preferences of the individual agents are modeled as utility functions and the resulting behavior is assumed to be an equilibrium concept associated with these modeled utility functions, e.g., Nash equilibrium. This
