Guglielmo Ferrero (1896), Ibn Kaldoun: an Arab Sociologist of the Fourteenth Century

Journal of Historical Sociology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 312-319, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Ferrero introduces the life of ibn Khaldun and his Prolegomena to History, relying on William Mac Guckin de Slane's French translation of the work. Ferrero is one of the first Europeans to define ibn Khaldun as a sociologist and an original theorist of the concept of civilization as a sociological category.

Resource Provisioning Techniques in Multi‐Access Edge Computing Environments: Outlook, Expression, and Beyond

Mobile Information Systems, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Mobile cloud computing promises a research foundation in information and communication technology (ICT). Multi‐access edge computing is an intermediate solution that reduces latency by delivering cloud computing services close to IoT and mobile clients (MCs), hence addressing the performance issues of mobile cloud computing.

Weighted Restless Bandit and Its Applications [PDF]

2015 IEEE 35th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems, 2015
Motivated by many applications such as cognitive radio spectrum scheduling, downlink fading channel scheduling, and unmanned aerial vehicle dynamic routing, we study two restless bandit problems. Given a bandit consisting of multiple restless arms, the state of each arm evolves as a Markov chain. Assume each arm is associated with a positive weight. At

Operationalization of Utilitarian and Egalitarian Objectives for Optimal Allocation of Health Care Resources

Decision Sciences, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 1169-1208, October 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Resources for health care interventions, such as tests and treatments, are limited. This makes it necessary to prioritize patient segments (defined in terms of their risk) by allocating resources so that the expected contribution to the chosen population‐level objective is maximized. In this article, we build a model for the optimal allocation

A Restless Bandit Model for Resource Allocation, Competition, and Reservation [PDF]

Operations Research, 2022
In “A Restless Bandit Model for Resource Allocation, Competition and Reservation,” J. Fu, B. Moran, and P. G. Taylor study a resource allocation problem with varying requests and with resources of limited capacity shared by multiple requests. This problem is modeled as a set of heterogeneous restless multi-armed bandit problems (RMABPs) connected by ...

Wounds and Wonder: Emotion, Imagination and War in the Cultures of Romantic Surgery

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, Volume 43, Issue 2, Page 239-259, June 2020., 2020
Abstract: This article uses the writings of the surgical siblings John and Charles Bell to explore the relationships between surgery, war and emotion in the Romantic era. Drawing on the argument that it was in this period that war came to be constructed as the ‘ultimate' emotional experience, rich in pathos and distinct from anything in civil life, it ...

Restless dependent bandits with fading memory

CoRR, 2019
We study the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem in the case when the arm samples are dependent over time and generated from so-called weak $\cC$-mixing processes. We establish a $\cC-$Mix Improved UCB agorithm and provide both problem-dependent and independent regret analysis in two different scenarios.
