This paper analyzes housing market boom-bust cycles driven by changes in households' expectations. We explore the role of expectations on productivity and other shocks originating from the housing market, the credit market and the conduct of monetary polic ...
Making the best choice when faced with a chain of decisions requires a person to judge both anticipated outcomes and future actions. Although economic decision-making models account for both risk and reward in single-choice contexts, there is a dearth of s ...
We use an SU(2) mean-field theory approach with input from variational wave functions of the t-J model to study the electronic spectra in the pseudogap phase of cuprates. In our model, the intermediate-temperature state of underdoped cuprates is realized b ...
Modeling the acoustical process of soft biological tissue imaging and understanding the consequences of the approximations required by. such modeling are key steps for accurately simulating ultrasonic scanning as well as estimating the scattering coefficie ...
Nanocomposite films containing up to 50 wt. % laponite have been prepared from emulsion polymerized polystyrene (PS)/laponite latexes with the laponite attached to the PS particle surfaces. Below Tg, the observed stiffness increases are accounted for by cl ...

A traditional photonic-force microscope (PFM) results in huge sets of data, which requires tedious numerical analysis. In this paper, we propose instead an analog signal processor to attain real-time capabilities while retaining the richness of the traditi ...
Des méthodes de planification expérimentale statistique réduisent le temps de calcul pour l’optimisation par la méthode des éléments finis. Les moteurs piézoélectriques à ultrasons sont supérieurs aux petits moteurs électromagnétiques étant donné que leur ...
