A lunar reconnaissance drone for cooperative exploration and high-resolution mapping of extreme locations
David Rodriguez Martinez, Daniel Tataru, Erik Uythoven, Thomas Pfeiffer
An efficient characterization of scientifically significant locations is essential prior to the return of humans to the Moon. The highest resolution imagery acquired from orbit of south-polar shadowed regions and other relevant locations remains, at best, ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2024A Privacy-Preserving Querying Mechanism with High Utility for Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more popular due to environmental consciousness. The limited availability of charging stations (CSs), compared to the number of EVs on the road, has led to increased range anxiety and a higher frequency of CS queries du ...
Piscataway2024Can one hear the shape of a target zone?
We develop an exchange rate target zone model with finite exit time and non-Gaussian tails. We show how the tails are a consequence of time-varying investor risk aversion, which generates mean-preserving spreads in the fundamental distribution. We solve ex ...
2023Bayesian Decision Making in Groups is Hard
We study the computations that Bayesian agents undertake when exchanging opinions over a network. The agents act repeatedly on their private information and take myopic actions that maximize their expected utility according to a fully rational posterior be ...
INFORMS2021Motivating Innovation: The Effect of Loss Aversion on the Willingness to Persist
We investigate the willingness of individuals to persist at exploration in the face of failure. Prior research suggests that the organization's "tolerance for failure" may motivate greater exploration by the individual. Little is known, however, about how ...
MIT Press2020A meta-analysis reveals temperature, dose, life stage, and taxonomy influence host susceptibility to a fungal parasite
Complex ecological relationships, such as host-parasite interactions, are often modeled with laboratory experiments. However, some experimental laboratory conditions, such as temperature or infection dose, are regularly chosen based on convenience or conve ...
WILEY2020Pessimistic outcome expectancy does not explain ambiguity aversion in decision-making under uncertainty
When faced with a decision, most people like to know the odds and prefer to avoid ambiguity. It has been suggested that this aversion to ambiguity is linked to people's assumption of worst possible outcomes. We used two closely linked behavioural tasks in ...
2019Robust auction design under multiple priors by linear and integer programming
It is commonly assumed in the optimal auction design literature that valuations of buyers are independently drawn from a unique distribution. In this paper we study auctions under ambiguity, that is, in an environment where valuation distribution is uncert ...
2018A discounted recursive logit model for dynamic gridlock network analysis
Emerging sensing technologies such as probe vehicles equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) devices on board provide us real-time vehicle trajectories. They are helpful for the understanding of the cases that are significant but difficult to observe ...
2017Optimal reinsurance with multiple tranches
Motivated by common practices in the reinsurance industry and in insurance markets such as Lloyd's, we study the general problem of optimal insurance contracts design in the presence of multiple insurance providers. We show that the optimal risk allocation ...
