On the Validity of Consensus

Rachid Guerraoui, Jovan Komatovic, Pierre Philippe Civit, Manuel José Ribeiro Vidigueira, Seth Gilbert

The Byzantine consensus problem involves.. processes, out of which t < n could be faulty and behave arbitrarily. Three properties characterize consensus: (1) termination, requiring correct (nonfaulty) processes to eventually reach a decision, (2) agreement ...

Engineering extracellular electron transfer for enhanced energy harvesting in microbial electrochemical devices

Mohammed Mouhib

Microorganisms known as exoelectrogens evolved the ability of transporting electrons across insulating biological membranes. In a physiological context, this enables respiration on extracellular electron acceptors and electron transfer to other organisms. ...

Property rights redistribution and the spatial evolution of the Chinese danwei compound: a case study in Beijing

Mengke Zhang, Teng Zhang

Danwei compounds were the dominant form of urban neighborhood in China's planned economy era. However, since the economic reform, the status of danwei compounds has undergone dramatic changes. By examining the transformation of Hua Gong Da Yuan (HGDY), a d ...

Flexure Pivot Oscillator With Intrinsically Tuned Isochronism

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan

The most important property for accurate mechanical time bases is isochronism: the independence of period from oscillation amplitude. This paper develops a new concept in isochronism adjustment for flexure-based watch oscillators. Flexure pivot oscillators ...

The Layer Laboratory: A Calculus for Additive and Subtractive Composition of Anisotropic Surface Reflectance

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner

We present a versatile computational framework for modeling the reflective and transmissive properties of arbitrarily layered anisotropic material structures. Given a set of input layers, our model synthesizes an effective BSDF of the entire structure, whi ...

Do exogenous changes in passive institutional ownership affect corporate governance and firm value?

Rüdiger Fahlenbrach

We investigate whether corporations and their executives react to an exogenous change in passive institutional ownership and alter their corporate governance structure. We find that exogenous increases in passive ownership lead to increases in CEO power an ...

From calle to insula: the case of Santa Maria della Carità in Venice

Isabella Di Lenardo

The histories of the monastery of Santa Maria della Carità and of the Scuola Grande della Carità are interwoven with the urban physiognomy of the extreme offshoot of the sestiere of Dorsoduro, the very tip of which overlooks St. Mark’s basin, the island of ...

An exactly solvable coarse-grained model for species diversity

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis, Amos Maritan

We present novel analytical results concerning ecosystem species diversity that stem from a proposed coarse-grained neutral model based on birth-death processes. The relevance of the problem lies in the urgency for understanding and synthesizing both theor ...

Accurate and Fast Simulation of Channel Noise in Conductance-Based Model Neurons by Diffusion Approximation

Michele Giugliano

Stochastic channel gating is the major source of intrinsic neuronal noise whose functional consequences at the microcircuit- and network-levels have been only partly explored. A systematic study of this channel noise in large ensembles of biophysically det ...

Regulatory Governance Costs in Network Industries: Observations in Postal Regulation

Matthias Finger

The various actors in the regulated industries relate to each other within a broader institutional framework, i.e., by way of formal and informal rules. An important role in the implementation of liberalization processes is given to regulation and thus to ...
