Optimal $δ$-Correct Best-Arm Selection for Heavy-Tailed Distributions
, 2019 Given a finite set of unknown distributions or arms that can be sampled, we consider the problem of identifying the one with the maximum mean using a $δ$-correct algorithm (an adaptive, sequential algorithm that restricts the probability of error to a specified $δ$) that has minimum sample complexity.

Optimal securities under adverse selection and moral hazard [PDF]
, 2009 We consider project financing under adverse selection and moral hazard and derive several interesting results. First, we provide an explanation of why good firms issue both debt and underpriced equity (even if the bankruptcy and agency costs of debt are ...

Individual piglets' contribution to the development of tail biting [PDF]
, 2011 Conflicting hypotheses exist about the contribution of individual pigs to the development of a tail-biting outbreak, but there is limited quantitative information to support or dismiss them.

Predicting tail-biting from behaviour of pigs prior to outbreaks [PDF]
, 2009 Predicting that an outbreak of tail-biting is going to Occur in a group of pigs would be a useful tool for farmers. In a prospective longitudinal study, 24 groups of c.30 unclocked pigs were followed from birth to slaughter weight.

Optimal Cooperative MAC Protocol with Efficient Selection of Relay Terminals [PDF]
, 2010 A new cooperative protocol is proposed in the context of wireless mesh networks. The protocol implements ondemand cooperation, i.e. cooperation between a source terminal and a destination terminal is activated only when needed.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...
