Solving Dec-MDPs with options and intention recognition
… systems. We model the problems with a Decentralized Markov Decision Process, and we make use of options and intention recognition to solve the problem. Rather than directly solving the Dec-MDP, which is NEXP-Complete, we instead solve a set of single-agent MDPs, that we can solve in …

Efeito da dietilcarbamazina (DEC) sobre hepatócitos de camundongos normais, desnutridos e alcoolizados
A Dietilcarbamazina (DEC) tem sido utilizada como o principal fármaco filaricida, mas seu mecanismo de ação permanece controverso. Alguns autores têm demonstrado suas propriedades anti-inflamatórias, como um resultado de sua interferência no metabolismo do ácido araquidônico, que inclui as enzimas …

Actors, Partisan Inclination, and Emotions: An Analysis of Government Shutdown News Stories Shared on Twitter During Dec 2018 and Jan 2019
Scholars have recognized emotion as an increasingly important element in the reception and retransmission of online information. Because of existing divergence in ideology, both in the audience and producer of news stories, political issues are prone to spark a lot of emotional contents online. …

Solar desiccant evaporative cooling with multivalent use of solar thermal heat
Solar DEC (Desiccant and Evaporative Cooling) air-conditioning is a renewable technological approach to the future air-conditioning of buildings driven with solar-thermal heat. The principal acceptance of solar airconditioning has led to system prototypes mainly across Europe, however the diffusion …

Electromagnetic analysis with discrete exterior calculus
… is to implement discrete exterior calculus (DEC) in electromagnetic analysis. The problem is studied for both partial differential equation (PDE) and integral equation (IE) based approaches. A systematical treatment is proposed for various boundary conditions. With a careful implementation of …

Decentralized control of multi-robot systems using partially observable Markov Decision Processes and belief space macro-actions
… in continuous spaces with partial observability. Decentralized Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (Dec-POMDPs) are general models for multi-robot coordination problems. However, representing and solving Dec-POMDPs is often intractable for large problems. This thesis extends the …

Induction of Innate and Adaptive Immunity In Vivo by Selective Antibody Targeting of Poly dA:dT and Antigen to Dendritic Cells
… poly dA:dT, to the DC uptake receptor, DEC205 (DEC). We will show that inoculation of α-DEC-poly dA:dT fusion monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is sufficient to induce rapid innate cytokine production by DCs. Adaptive T cell immunity is also elicited when the fusion mAb is given in …

On the Sample Efficiency of Data-Driven Decision Making
This thesis studies the fundamental problem of decision making under uncertainty through the lens of statistical decision theory. We characterize the minimax risk, which captures the sample efficiency required for effective decision making across three key settings: offline estimation with batch …

Superlattice-source nanowire FET with steep Subthreshold characteristics
The non-scalable room temperature 60 mV/dec subthreshold swing of a conventional MOSFET is a fundamental limit to the continuation of transistor power scaling. In order to further reduce transistor power consumption and transistor footprint, new subthreshold transport mechanisms other than …
