Predicting Novel Tick Vectors of Zoonotic Disease [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
With the resurgence of tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and the emergence of new pathogens such as Powassan virus, understanding what distinguishes vector from non-vector species, and predicting undiscovered tick vectors is an important step towards mitigating human disease risk.

Pressure Induced Molecular‐Arrangement and Charge‐Density Perturbance in Doped Polymer for Intelligent Motion and Vocal Recognitions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The sidechain doped polymer is investigated to have great potential for pressure detection due to the advantages including molecular rearrangement and charge‐density perturbance induced by micro‐mechanical deformation. This sensor displayed low‐pressure detection limit of 0.7 Pa as well as a rapid response time of 18.8 ms, enabling multi‐mode motion ...

How to predict the consequences of a tick value change? Evidence from the Tokyo Stock Exchange pilot program [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The tick value is a crucial component of market design and is often considered the most suitable tool to mitigate the effects of high frequency trading. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that the approach introduced in Dayri and Rosenbaum (2015) allows for an ex ante assessment of the consequences of a tick value change on the microstructure of ...
