Discriminatory Policies & Practices Intersectionality: The Promise & the Challenge

The promise of intersectionality theory in primary care.

Government-Mandated Discriminatory Policies∗

This paper provides a simple explanation for why some minority groups are economically successful, despite being subject to government-mandated discriminatory policies. We study an economy with private and public sectors in which workers invest in imperfectly observable skills that are important to the private sector but not to the public sector. A law allows native majority workers to be emplo...

Comparison of the Discriminatory Processor Sharing Policies

Discriminatory Processor Sharing (DPS) policy introduced by Kleinrock [5] is of a great interest in many application areas, including telecommunications, web applications and TCP flow modelling. Under the DPS policy the jobs priority is controlled by a vector of weights. Verifying the vector of weights, it is possible to control the service rates of the jobs and optimize system characteristics....

The Promise and Challenge of Stochastic Computing

Stochastic computing (SC) is an unconventional method of computation that treats data as probabilities. Typically, each bit of an N-bit stochastic number (SN) X is randomly chosen to be 1 with some probability pX, and X is generated and processed by conventional logic circuits. For instance, a single AND gate performs multiplication. The value X of an SN is measured by the density of 1s in it, ...
