Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
No full textThis article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity
RCSB Protein Data Bank: A Resource for Chemical, Biochemical, and Structural Explorations of Large and Small Biomolecules
No full textThe Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) Protein Data Bank (PDB) supports scientific research and education worldwide by providing access to annotated information about three-dimensional (3D) structures of macromolecules (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins), and associated small molecules (e.g., drugs, cofactors, inhibitors) in the PDB archive. Researchers, educators, and students use RCSB PDB resources to study the shape and interactions of biological molecules and their implications in molecular biology, medicine, biotechnology, and beyond. RCSB PDB supports development of standards for data deposition, representation, annotation, and validation of atomic structural data obtained from various experimental methods. Uniform representation of PDB data is essential for providing consistent search and analysis capabilities for all PDB users, from beginning students to domain experts. The RCSB PDB Web site provides tools for searching, visualizing, and analyzing PDB data, including easy exploration of chemical interactions that stabilize macromolecules and play important roles in their interactions and functions. In addition, educational resources are available for free and unrestricted use in the classroom for exploring chemistry and biology at the molecular level.This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a Published Work that appeared in final form in Journal of Chemical Education, copyright © American Chemical Society after peer review and technical editing by the publisher.

A Review Of Research By Soumitra Dutta Titled “Strategies For Implementing Knowledgebased Systems”
No full textThe management of organizational knowledge, a relatively new and challenging concept for most organizations, is introduced and discussed in this paper. Around this general topic, the author, Dr. Dutta conducted a series of important concepts from knowledge, organizational knowledge or organizational knowledge assets, Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS’s), to implementation strategies for KBS’s. There is an increasing consensus that the effective management of knowledge is an important basis of competitive advantage for corporations, and that KBS’s can have an important role in the management of organizational knowledge at all levels. Based on an understanding that with considerable progress in the underlying technologies, the major challenges in the implementation of KBS’s have evolved from technical matters and to organizational and strategic issues, Dr. Dutta proposed four different strategies ( guided, specialist, dispersed points, and dispersed clusters) and described them in relation to the different levels of organizational knowledge and the locus of responsibility for the development of KBS’s. Then, the technical, managerial and strategic implications of each of the four strategies have been discussed
Applications of balance optimization subset selection
No full textBalance Optimization Subset Selection (BOSS) is a framework designed to be used for causal inference on observational data. The theoretical foundation for the BOSS framework has been provided in the literature; this thesis aims to provide some examples of the practical value of BOSS by using it on two problems. The first application is using BOSS to determine a subset of users who would be suitable targets for marketing efforts, and the second application is using BOSS to identify potential first-round upsets in the NCAA basketball tournament. Finally, this thesis delves into another area of college basketball and attempts to model the process of the NCAA tournament selection committee using a decision tree.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2018-08-01The student, Shouvik Dutta, accepted the attached license on 2016-07-19 at 12:51.The student, Shouvik Dutta, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-07-19 at 12:54.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-07-21 at 14:08.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #10013 on 2016-11-10 at 12:21:00Made available in DSpace on 2016-11-10T18:27:07Z (GMT).

Similarities between 2D and 3D convection for large Prandtl number
No full textUsing direct numerical simulations of Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC), we perform a comparative study of the spectra and fluxes of energy and entropy for large and infinite Prandtl numbers in two (2D) and three (3D) dimensions. We observe close similarities between the 2D and 3D RBC, in particular the kinetic energy spectrum , and the entropy spectrum exhibits a dual branch with a dominant spectrum. We showed that the dominant Fourier modes in the 2D and 3D flows are very close

The Political Economy of the Corporation: Sahil Jai Duta Interviews Sandy Brian Hager
No full textPERC’s Sahil Jai Dutta is joined by Dr Sandy Brian Hager (City, University of London) to discuss the political economy of the corporation. He is the author of the book Public Debt, Inequality, and Power: The Making of a Modern Debt State (2016) published by University of California Press. The conversation spans across the topics of ownership and the politics of public debt, the power of large banks in the US, and his most recent work exploring what drives long-term shifts in the stock markets in the ‘advanced’ economies

Predicting 1,9-Decadiene−Water Partition Coefficients Using the 3D-RISM-KH Molecular Solvation Theory
No full textThe Three-Dimensional Reference Interaction Site Model (3D-RISM) with Kovalenko−Hirata (KH) closure is applied to calculate the 1,9-Decadiene/Water partition coefficients for a diverse class of compounds. The liquid state of 1,9-Decadiene is represented with the united atom TraPPE force field parameters. The 3D-RISM-KH computed partition functions are in good agreement with the experimental results. Our computational scheme can be used for a quantitative structure partitioning prediction for decadiene-water system, which has been used in membrane-mimicking of the egg-lecithin/water permeability experiments
