Given a set of alternatives and a single player, we introduce the notion of a responsive lottery. These mechanisms receive as input from the player a reported utility function, specifying a value for each one of the alternatives, and use a lottery to produce as output a probability distribution over the alternatives. Thereafter, exactly one alternative wins (is given to the player) with the res...

This paper introduces the responsive bisimulation, which treats local delays of incoming messages the same as external delays, as long as potential interference by competing receptors is avoided. By this bisimulation, the -calculus process , representing a lock with a message receptor , is equivalent to the process ; the first process will delay messages externally, the second locally. Existing...

Objective(s) In this study, a kind of pH sensitive composite membrane was prepared and drug permeation through it was investigated in terms of pH. Rationale of this study originated from the fact that a pH change which may be a result of a disease state in the body can trigger drug release. Materials and Methods  Here, a kind of pH sensitive composite membrane containing different nanoparticle ...
