Diagnostic information allows an agent to predict the state of nature about the success of an investment project better than the prior. We analyze the optimal pricing scheme for selling diagnostic information to buyers with different, privately known, ex ante success probability. Investment costs and returns of successful projects are assumed to be the same for all buyers. The value of diagnost...

Nowadays, memristors are extremely similar to biological synapses and can achieve many basic functions of synapses, making them become a new generation research hotspots for brain-like neurocomputing. In this work, we prepare memristor based on two-dimensional ?-In2Se3 nanosheets, which exhibits excellent electrical properties, faster switching speeds, continuous tunability device conduction. M...

Ribosomes represent a significant portion of the dry mass of all cells and actively dividing cells assemble about 2,000 ribosomes every minute [1]. This represents a massive investment by the cell in a complex RNA:protein assembly that will go on to translate mRNAs into protein, an essential process for all of life. Much is known about how a ribosome faithfully performs protein synthesis; less ...

We show that if a group G acting faithfully on a rooted tree T has a free subgroup, then either there exists a point w of the boundary @T and a free subgroup of G with trivial stabilizer ofw, or there existsw 2 @T and a free subgroup ofG fixingw and acting faithfully on arbitrarily small neighborhoods of w. This can be used to prove the absence of free subgroups for different known classes of g...

The encoding of random time-varying stimuli in single spike trains of electrosensory neurons in the weakly electric fish Eigenmannia was investigated using methods of statistical signal processing. At the first stage of the electrosensory system, spike trains were found to encode faithfully the detailed time-course of random stimuli, while at the second stage neurons responded specifically to f...

Suppose that a finite solvable group G acts faithfully, irreducibly and quasi-primitively on vector space V, is not metacyclic. Then always has regular orbit V except for few “small” cases.

the effect of tillage (conventional and zero tillage), crop establishment (raised-bed and flat-bed), and weed management practices (herbicide alone and integrated approach) was studied on productivity, profitability, nutrient uptake and physico-chemical properties of soil in soybean–wheat cropping system, at new delhi during 2010–2012. sixteen treatment combinations consisting of four tillage a...
