We analyze the space of deterministic, dominant-strategy incentive compatible, individually rational and Pareto optimal combinatorial auctions.We examine a model with multidimensional types, nonidentical items, private values and quasilinear preferences for the players with one relaxation; the players Screw are subject to publicly-known budget cons
We are developing an optical three-axis tactile sensor capable of acquiring normal and shearing force to mount on a robotic finger.The tactile sensor is based on the principle of an optical waveguide-type tactile sensor, which is composed of an acrylic hemispherical dome, a light source, an array of rubber sensing elements, and a CCD camera.The sen
It is important for researchers Supplements to carefully assess the feasibility of a clinical trial prior to the launch of the study.One feasibility aspect that needs to be considered includes whether investigators can expect to successfully achieve the sample size needed for their trial.In this manuscript, we present a Bayesian design in which dat
