We present here a first step towards developing a quantitative model that relates investor emotions to financial markets. We used Wall Street Journal articles as a proxy of investor emotions on a "macro" level. We measured the emotional characteristic of…

We have derived a broad, deterministic model of the steady-state actin cycle that includes its major regulatory
mechanisms. Ours is the first model to solve the complete nucleotide profile within filaments, a feature that determines the
dynamics and geometry of…

La gran mayoría de los estudios del ingreso no toman en cuenta la renta implícita que obtienen los hogares que viven en una casa propia. Esta omisión puede introducir un potencial sesgo de gran magnitud en medidas de desigualdad, pobreza…

Significant progress has been made in understanding
some of the basic mechanisms of force production and flow manipulation
in oscillating foils for underwater use. Biomimetic observations,
however, show that there is a lot more to be learned, since
many of…

We describe the general phenomenon of ‘induced-charge electro-osmosis’ (ICEO) –
the nonlinear electro-osmotic slip that occurs when an applied field acts on the ionic
charge it induces around a polarizable surface. Motivated by a simple physical picture,
we calculate ICEO…

The design and construction of a biomimetic flapping
foil autonomous underwater vehicle is detailed. The vehicle was
designed as a proof of concept for the use of oscillating foils as
the sole source of motive power for a cruising and…

Este trabajo examina el argumento para la provisión pública de ciertos bienes privados (e.g. educación y salud) basado en igualdad de oportunidades, mediante el estudio de la frontera de posibilidades de utilidad en una sociedad donde hay preferencias por la…

This is a pre-copy-editing, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in the British Journal of Social Work following peer review. The definitive publisher-authenticated version, McKeigue, B. & Beckett, C., 2004. Care proceedings under the 1989 Children Act: rhetoric…

Realistic mathematical models are of great importance for studying the optical performance of the human eye. Light propagation algorithms provide robust methods to calculate field distributions inside a homogeneous medium, and thus they can be applied to the study of…
