A Transmission Expansion Planning Model for Maximizing Merchant Investment

Core facilities: maximizing the return on investment.

To conduct high-quality state-of-the-art research, clinical and translational scientists need access to specialized core facilities and appropriately trained staff. In this time of economic constraints and increasing research costs, organized and efficient core facilities are essential for researchers who seek to investigate complex translational research questions. Here, we describe efforts at...

An algorithm for maximizing expected log investment return

Let the random (stock market) vector X 2 0 be drawn according to a known distribution function F(x), x E R ". A log-optimal portfolio b* is any portfolio b achieving maximal expected log return W* = sup,, E In b'X, where the supremum is over the simplex b 2 0, Cr, b, = 1. An algorithm is presented for finding b*. The algorithm consists of replacing the portfolio b by the expected portfolio b', ...

Protecting Biodiversity when Money Matters: Maximizing Return on Investment

BACKGROUND Conventional wisdom identifies biodiversity hotspots as priorities for conservation investment because they capture dense concentrations of species. However, density of species does not necessarily imply conservation 'efficiency'. Here we explicitly consider conservation efficiency in terms of species protected per dollar invested. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We apply a dynamic ...
