In this paper we present AMATI, (Another Massive Audience Teaching Instrument) to enhance knowledge transfer between a lecturer and their student audience as well as encourage the communication among students for both on line and on campus courses. AMATI provides a non-distractive environment for knowledge transfer and communication by using context aware teaching information for a specific cla...

This paper uses insights from behavioral economics to explain a particularly surprising borrowing phenomenon: One in six undergraduate students offered interest-free loans turn them down. Models of impulse control predict that students may optimally reject subsidized loans to avoid excessive consumption during school.

The residence time of a single dye molecule diffusing within a laser spot is propotional to the total number of photons emitted by it. With this application in mind, we solve the spherically symmetric "residence time equation" (RTE) to obtain the solution for the Laplace transform of the mean residence time (MRT) within a d-dimensional ball, as a function of the initial location of the particle...
