The author presents a rapidly convergent algorithm to solve the general portfolio problem of maximizing concave utility functions subject to linear constraints. The algorithm is based on an iterative ...

Plerixafor, a reversible CXCR4 antagonist, significantly increases the yield of CD34 + peripheral blood cells in randomized studies, thereby enabling more patients to proceed to autologous transplant.

Only recently, progress has been made in obtaining o(log (rank))-competitive algorithms for the matroid secretary problem. More precisely, Chakraborty and Lachish ...

We leverage insights from machine learning to optimize the tradeoff between bias and variance when estimating economic models using pooled datasets. Specifically, we develop a simple algorithm that ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a simple yet powerful method to characterize lithium metal battery performance with the help of a widely used imaging tool: ...

Credit card issuers first assign the account numbers and then compute steps one through three of the Luhn algorithm to determine the appropriate check digit. In this case, the card number should have ...
