This work builds a ridesharing model that compares the successful matching rate and detour cost of ridesharing with three types of social connections (i.e., friends) in a small-world network: direct friends, direct or indirect friends, and anyone. How much is trust: The cost and benefit of ridesharing with friends Yaoli Wang1, Nicole Ronald1,2, Ronny Kutadinata1, Stephan Winter1 1 Department of...

Excitation energies for 3l-4l8 particle-hole states of Ni-like ions are determined to second order in relativistic many body perturbation theory. The calculations start from a closed-shell Dirac-Fock potential, and include second-order Coulomb and Breit-Coulomb interactions. Retarded electric-dipole matrix elements ~in length and velocity forms! are calculated in second order for transitions fr...

Diverse kinds of gem- and vic-diborylated compounds are now readily available thanks to advances in gem-diborylation of lithium carbenoids as well as vic-diborylation of carbon-carbon multiple bonds with diboron compounds. These diborylated reagents lead to invention of polyborylated reagents and many novel and useful synthetic methods for supreme stereocontrol. This review summarizes preparati...

In this project, the operation and the features of a new three-level converter are presented with PV source and boost converter. The proposed topology was named three-level active-stacked neutral point clamped. It is a derivative of the 3L-SNPC structure, having two additional active switches connected anti parallel with the clamp diodes. The main advantage of 3L-ASNPC converter is the reductio...

We present a polynomial time greedy algorithm that assigns proper wavelengths to a set of requests of maximum load L per directed ber link on a directed ber tree using at most 5=3L wavelengths. This improves previous results of 12, 10, 8, 9]. We also prove that no greedy algorithm can in general use less than 5=3L wavelengths for a set of requests of load L in a directed ber tree, and thus our ...
