Better embeddings for Planar Earth-Mover Distance over sparse sets
… low-distortion embeddings of the Planar Earth-Mover Distance (EMD) into lp spaces. EMD is a popular measure of dissimilarity between sets of points, e.g., bags of geometric features. We present a collection of embeddings with the property that their distortion and/or host-space dimension are …

Achieving Late-Mover Advantage: The Effects of Enhancing and Distinctive Strategies
… market, research on how to achieve a late-mover advantage is limited and lags behind the theoretical work on first-mover advantage. The strategic choice a late mover can utilize to compete against the pioneer is largely underdeveloped. Further, extant studies provide contradictory arguments …

Lower bounds for embedding the Earth Mover Distance metric into normed spaces
… presents a lower bounds for embedding the Earth Mover Distance (EMID) metric into normed spaces. The EMID is a metric over two distributions where one is a mass of earth spread out in space and the other is a collection of holes in that same space. The EMD between these two distributions is …

Que (me) faça mover: transmutações entre coreografia do corpo e coreografia da imagem
This research, That (Makes) Me Move: Transmutations Between Body Choreography and Image Choreography, was developed within the Graduate Program in Dance (PRODAN) at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), under Research Line 1 – Artistic Experiences, Production, and Management in Dance, and …

Household moving and tenure behavior : translating retrospective "Recent Mover" surveys into prospective moving decisions
… as a case and utilizes a new dataset of recent movers. First, this study generates sampling weights both at the individual and household levels to correct sample bias. Then, this study uses discrete choice models to identify key household and housing factors that influence households' moving …

Energy at the Frontier : low carbon energy system transitions and innovation in four prime mover countries
… by examining ways in which four prime mover countries of low carbon energy technology shifted away from fossil fuels, following the first global oil crisis of 1973. The research analyzes the role of readiness, sectoral contributions, and adaptive policy in the scale-up and innovations …

Towards an explanation and prediction of residential movement: An examination of the concept of sectoral movement, Adams restricted image causal hypothesis, and the initial development of a predictive statistical model of restricted lateral movement
Adams (1969) argues that movers possess a restricted sectoral image of the city based upon their home sector. This image operates to restrict a household’s movement to its home sector. This research examines that particular causal hypothesis in terms of its theoretical basis and tests its …

Quantum blackjack : quantum strategies and advantages in games with limited classical communication
… bit of communication is allowed from the first-mover to the late-mover. Within this setting, optimal usage of quantum entanglement is explored, and conditions of quantum advantage over classical strategies are examined. Furthermore, theoretical, computational, and experimental techniques are …

Six-Axis Levitated Stage with a Novel Flux-Steering Magnetic Hub Actuator
… of a steel stator ring (165 mm OD) and a steel mover cylinder (52 mm OD). The stator has four teeth evenly spaced and pointing radially inward, each with a coil of 454 turns of AWG 20 copper wire. The teeth each have a nominal air gap of 0.5 mm with the mover, though only half of the air gap is …

Hybrid power-system architecture for micro-grid
Load-independent, fixed-speed operation of prime-movers, such as gas turbines and diesel engines, leads to degraded efficiency at part-loaded conditions. This thesis looks at a hybrid power-system architecture that can boost fuel economy through coordinated variable-speed operation of both …

On the Simulation of an All Electric Ship Powertrain Utilizing a Surface Piercing Propeller Via a Modular Main Propulsion Plant Model
… of a marine powertrain consisting of a prime mover, propeller shaft, propulsor, and control system was developed, tested, and used to demonstrate the ability to analyze the marine powertrain numerically. The modularity of the model allows for the user to easily substitute different or more …

Commissioning a 400 Hz rotary inverter
… systems. The auxiliary systems include a prime mover, blower fan and a telemetering system. The prime mover has high starting currents which were reduced significantly by the use of a soft-starter. During testing, the constant frequency alternator started overheating and a blower fan was …

Compacting Loads and Stores for Code Size Reduction
… proximity in order to perform properly. This mover optimization occurs before register allocation, while ARMLoadStoreOpt occurs after register allocation. This thesis implements a similar mover optimization (called MagnetPass) after register allocation is performed, and compares this …

Airline Revenue Management with Segmented Continuous Pricing: Methods and Competitive Effects
… leisure passenger booking requests, the first-mover airline sees a 3% to 6% revenue gain using constant segmented willingness-to-pay estimates. The revenue gains come primarily from the leisure passenger segment by offering lower fares than competitors closer to departure, although the …

Essays in political economy
… his opponent's action before him. The first mover has a privilege to claim more share of benefit from the adventure but do so at his own peril, in the sense that if the other player does not follow him to join in, an extra cost will be imposed. It studies how the introduction of endogenous …
