Wearable‐Derived Diurnal Alignment Between Physical Activity and Device Temperature Predicts Future Disease and Mortality Risk

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Wearable‐derived diurnal alignment between physical activity and device temperature, decomposed into 24 h coupling strength (M24), phase deviation (D24), and 12 h harmonic magnitude (M12), is examined in approximately 90,000 UK Biobank participants.

PROCURING KNOWLEDGE [PDF]

open access: possible, 2004
There is growing public interest in alternatives to intellectual property including, but not limited to, prizes and government grants. We argue that there is no single best mechanism for supporting research. Rather, mechanisms can only be compared within specific creative environments.

Mechanism for Robust Procurements

2012
We model robust procurement as an optimization problem. We show that its decision version is NP-complete, and propose a backtracking algorithm with cuts that reduce the search-space to find the optimal solution. We then develop a mechanism that motivates agents to truthfully report their private information (i.e., truthful in dominant strategies ...
