Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) is a widely deployed method to sample from high-dimensional distributions in Statistics and Machine learning. HMC is known to run very efficiently in practice and its popular second-order "leapfrog" implementation has long bee ...
Bones generate electricity under pressure, and this electromechanical behavior is thought to be essential for bone’s self-repair and remodeling properties. The origin of this response is attributed to the piezoelectricity of collagen, which is the main str ...
Under the incentive-compatible Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanism, coalitions of participants can influence the auction to obtain higher collective profit. These manipulations were proven to be eliminated if and only if the market objective is supermodular. N ...

Reproduction can be perceived in two opposite ways from the urban planning point of view, both as a driving force and as a braking weight. Driving force because urban phenomena are precisely produced by re-producing, and especially by reproducing the funda ...
The stringent requirement of the demand-supply equilibrium for delivering electricity has traditionally been dealt with a supply-side perspective, assuming that the demand is not alterable. With the promises of the Smart Grid, demand- side management techn ...
