BERTH ALLOCATION AT PASSENGER TERMINALS USING AUCTIONS

Berth Allocation at Passenger Terminals Using Auctions

In this paper, we compare a multi-round, second-price, sealed-bid bundle auction and a single-item, sequential, second-price, sealed-bid auction for berth slot leasing for vessels (roll-on/roll-off passenger vessels and/or cruise ships) at a public marine terminal.The bundle auction mechanism is designed to maximize port operator profits by auction

Genome-wide identification of the regulatory targets of a transcription factor using biochemical characterization and computational genomic analysis

Abstract Background A major challenge in computational genomics is the development of methodologies that allow accurate genome-wide prediction of the regulatory targets of a transcription factor.We present a method for target identification that combines experimental characterization of caruso milk thistle binding requirements with computational ge

copyright Inhibition of Synaptic Transmission in the Ventral Pallidum Is Pathway-Specific and Mediated by Serotonin

Summary: The ventral pallidum (VP) is part of the basal ganglia circuitry and a target of both direct and indirect pathway projections from the nucleus accumbens.VP is important in copyright reinforcement, and the firing of VP neurons is modulated in vivo during copyright self-administration.This modulation of firing is thought to be indirect via c
