Free Market on the Free Way
… unique approach to implement sharing lanes on a freeway using the idea of option pricing. A macroscopic physical model (LWR) is implemented by adding noise to the speed which accounts for unexpected events. We then proceed to provide a fair price for lanes in real time.</p>

Forcing ℵ1-free groups to be free.
ℵ1-free groups, abelian groups whose countable subgroups are free, are objects of both algebraic and set-theoretic interest. Illustrating this, we note that ℵ1-free groups, and in particular the question of when ℵ1-free groups are free, were central to the resolution of the Whitehead problem as …

Multiphoton microscopy for stain-free slide-free histopathology
… being highly time- and labor-intensive. Label-free nonlinear optical microscopy, which produces high-resolution images with rich functional and structural information based on intrinsic molecular contrast, has demonstrated significant potential to overcome these problems by leveraging its …

Toward model-free and reference-free quantitative ultrasound
… target and the feasibility of reference-free quantitative ultrasound using a convolutional neural network. The sensitivity of CNN in a reference-free environment is assessed and experimentally validated. A model-free approach through the use of principal component analysis is proposed as …

Nothing Free
<p>This is a multi-generational story of a family in a centuries-old New Mexico community undergoing wrenching change as it is forced into the modern world. The focus is on three sisters and how they and their loved ones reconcile their deep connections to the past as they embrace their futures.</p>

Free products of operator spaces and free Markov processes
<p>Certain (reduced) free product is introduced in the framework of operator spaces. Under the construction, the free product of preduals of von Neumann algebras agrees with the predual of the free product of von Neumann algebras. This answers a question asked by Effros affirmatively. An example is …

Impact of free banking on the free banking market
This dissertation examines the free banking laws of seven states and the impact of three provisions of the laws on the states' banking experience. In Chapter I, a review of two current theories of the free banking experience is presented. One theory contends that the laws themselves induced the …

Free Trade is Not Free: A Case for Fair Trade
<p>To this day, mainstream economists favor free trade policies as the best way to generate economic development. They do so at the expense of their unjustified romanticization of reductionist classical trade theories. This thesis seeks to comprehend the constraints of traditional trade theories …

Anchor Free Mobility
Efficient mobility management techniques are critical in providing seamless connectivity and session continuity for mobile devices. However, current mobility management solutions require a central entity in the network core, tracking IP address movement and anchoring traffic from source to …

Disorder-Free Localization
… locally coupled to spins, which have a disorder-free mechanism for localization. This mechanism is due to a local Z$_{2}$ gauge symmetry and we uncover the connection to lattice gauge theories. We diagnose the localization through long-time memory of initial conditions after a global quantum …

Quantum free games
The complexity of free games with two or more classical players was essentially settled by Aaronson, Impagliazzo, and Moshkovitz [AIM14]. In the quantum world, there are two complexity classes that can be considered quantum analogues of classical free games: (1) AM⇤, the multiprover interactive …

Even-hole-free graphs
… length). These graphs are known as even-hole-free graphs. We first prove that every even-hole-free graph has a node whose neighborhood is triangulated. This implies that in an even-hole-free graph, with n nodes and m edges, there are at most n+2m maximal cliques. It also yields a fastest known …
