Determinación del proteoma de la cepa VCG-1 de Plasmodium Vivax y caracterización de moléculas candidatas para su inclusión en el desarrollo de una vacuna
… humanos. En el análisis del proteoma de la cepa VCG-1 de P. vivax, se detectaron 734 proteínas, algunas esenciales en los pasos clave para establecer la invasión del merozoito a su célula diana. Además, se identificaron 811 componentes de eritrocitos (hospederos vitales de Plasmodium) del primate …

Reduced Complexity Mechanisms for Network Resource Allocation
Finally, we show that the VCG-Kelly mechanism can be applied to reduce the complexity of a combinatorial auction if the users' valuation functions satisfy the strong substitute condition. We investigate the properties of substitute functions. The sufficient and necessary condition for a function to …

Novel frameworks for auctions and optimization
… and information structures in Vickrey and VCG auctions. Part II introduces novel frameworks for understanding first-order methods in optimization. This enables us to (1) break 20-year barriers on the running time used for solving positive linear programs, (2) reduce the complexity for …

Bio-control of root rot disease in vanilla
… and to determine the relationship between VCGs and virulence. The VCG results showed that the 87 strains of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp vanillae isolated from Yunnan Province were complex. They could be distributed into 12 different VCGs and that a direct relationship between VCGs group and …

Evolutionary biology of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense
… of clonal lineages that roughly correspond with VCG groupings. In this thesis, we investigated the evolutionary relationships among VCGs using multi-gene sequencing and MAT genotyping. A PCR-RFLP fingerprint discriminating the Foc lineages and a PCR primer that identified Foc ‘subtropical’ race 4 …

Mechanism design with approximate types
… the maximum social welfare, and the celebrated VCG mechanism (which is no longer dominant-strategy) guarantees, in undominated strategies, at most a doubly exponentially small fraction. For general games beyond auctions, we provide definitional foundations for this new approximate-type model, …

Optimal Consumer-Centric Delay-Efficient Security Management in Multi-Agent Networks: A Game and Mechanism Design Theoretic Approach
… transfers through the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) payments with Clarke's pivotal rule. As the utmost significant contribution of this work, we solve the revelation theorem's problem of misrepresentation of agents' private information in mechanism design theory through the proposed design. We …

Naval Architecture Analysis of Civil War Ironclad CSS VIRGINIA
… to obtain, in particular, an estimate for the VCG of the vessel. It also allowed for gyradius calculations based on the resultant weight distribution to be calculated. Historical information coupled with the Paramarine geometry was used for the weight analysis. Paramarine was used to obtain …

MODELING AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN MOBILE WIRELESS NETWORKS
… Programming (ILP) and Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) based auction mechanism for obtaining optimal social welfare. To reduce time complexity, we present a polynomial-time greedy mechanism for the RaaS auction. Both methods have been formally shown to be truthful and individually rational.</p> …

Estudio de interacciones hospedero-patógeno y proteína-proteína en Plasmodium Vivax : evaluación de las proteínas del cuello de optrias -2, -4 y -5 y del antígeno apical de membrana-1
… de la cepa Vivax Colombia Guaviare 1 (VCG-1) de P. vivax. Estos dos genes codifican proteínas de alto peso molecular que se expresan en el polo apical de esquizontes y co-localizan con proteínas presentes en las roptrias. Para evaluar la capacidad de interacción de las proteínas PvRON2, …

Computationally Feasible Approaches to Automated Mechanism Design
<p>In many multiagent settings, a decision must be made based on the preferences of multiple agents, and agents may lie about their preferences if this is to their benefit. In mechanism design, the goal is to design procedures (mechanisms) for making the decision that work in spite of such …
