How many patrol cars staffed with a single police officer are needed to provide equivalent police service to an existing system with n two-officer patrol cars? This question is explored for New York City using a multiple patrol car per call priority queueing model. It is shown that a one-officer patrol program is feasible, yet pitfalls exist which could adversely affect its performance. The pap...

Despite standard treatment with resection, radiation, and chemotherapy, glioblastoma remains a deadly disease with a dismal prognosis. Redirecting patient T cells to target the glioblastoma-associated antigen, IL13Rα2, offers a promising translational immunotherapy with the potential to make a meaningful impact for patients with this disease.

Our aim is to describe the spacing distribution between cars parked parallel to the curb somewhere in the center of a city. We will assume that the street is long enough to enable a parallel parking of many cars. Moreover we assume that there are no driveways or side streets in the segment of interest and that the street is free of any kind of marked parking lots or park meters. So the drivers ...

Nonlinear microscopy techniques are highly appreciated for imaging applications. Second harmonic generation (SHG), two-photon fluorescence (2PEF) and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) are examples that show well known advantages like intrinsic sectioning capability and chemical selectivity. However, often different contributions, especially 2PEF and CARS, spectrally overlap which mak...
