The duration problem with multiple exchanges
We treat a version of the multiple-choice secretary problem called the multiplechoice duration problem, in which the objective is to maximize the time of possession of relatively best objects. It is shown that, for the m–choice duration problem, there exists a sequence (s1, s2, . . . , sm) of critical numbers such that, whenever there remain k choices yet to be made, then the optimal strategy i...
متن کاملCorrelation between Acoustic Parameters and Disease Severity and Duration in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Since in multiple sclerosis (MS), changes in speech and voice quality often precede other signs and symptoms; early diagnosis of these changes is necessary. In this study, an acoustic examination of phonation subsystem was performed.

Kidney exchange is a barter market where patients trade willing but medically incompatible donors. These trades occur via cycles, where each patient-donor pair both gives and receives a kidney, and via chains, which begin with an altruistic donor who does not require a kidney in return.

We describe a pricing structure for the provision of IT services that ensures trust without requiring repeated interactions between service providers and users. It does so by offering a pricing structure that elicits truthful reporting of QoS by providers while making them profitable. This mechanism also induces truth-telling on the part of users reserving the service.
متن کاملPfanzagl Exchanges Diagnose a Continuity Anomaly Pertinent to Allais' Problem
The principle of choice often expressed as a continuity axiom recommends a single ordering of both riskless and risky prospects. An analytical device contributed by Pfanzagl is extended here to show that riskless versus risky monetary comparisons ought to be more nuanced, even from a perspective sympathetic to the usual axioms. Allais’ example illustrates a related point to oppose the usual the...
