What are the implications of big data in terms of big impacts? Our research focuses on the question, "How are data analytics involved in policy analysis to create complementary values?" We address this from the perspective of bibliometrics. We initially investigate a set of articles published in Nature and Science, seeking cutting-edge knowledge to sharpen research hypotheses on what data science offers policy analysis. Based on a set of bibliometric models (e.g., topic analysis, scientific evolutionary pathways, and social network analysis), we follow up with studies addressing two aspects: (1) we examine the engagement of data science (including statistical, econometric, and computing approaches) in current policy analyses by analyzing articles published in top-level journals in the areas of political science and public administration;and (2) we examine the development of policy analysis-oriented data analytic models in top-level journals associated with computer science (including both artificial intelligence and information systems). Observations indicate that data science contribution to policy analysis is still an emerging area. Data scientists are moving further than policy analysts, due to technical difficulties in exploiting data analytic models. Integrating artificial intelligence with econometrics is identified as a particularly promising direction.

In this study, we extend our robot trust model into a multimodal setting in which the Nao robot leverages audio-visual data to perform a sequential multimodal pattern recalling task while interacting with a human partner who has different guiding strategies: reliable, unreliable, and random. Here, the humanoid robot is equipped with a multimodal auto-associative memory module to process audio-visual patterns to extract cognitive load (i.e., computational cost) and an internal reward module to perform cost-guided reinforcement learning. After interactive experiments, the robot associates a low cognitive load (i.e., high cumulative reward) yielded during the interaction with high trustworthiness of the guiding strategy of the partner. At the end of the experiment, we provide a free choice to the robot to select a trustworthy instructor. We show that the robot forms trust in a reliable partner. In the second setting of the same experiment, we endow the robot with an additional simple theory of mind module to assess the efficacy of the instructor in helping the robot perform the task. Our results show that the performance of the robot is improved when the robot bases its action decisions on factoring in the instructor assessment.

This research reviews a comprehensive and somehow chronological literature in the models and frameworks of competition and strategy. Strategic management research is shaped around a core question that why some firms outperform others;several significant lines of work have emerged in the strategic management field since its infancy. These include industrial organization, the resource-based view and dynamic capabilities. Also, Competition essentially has been the focal point of scholars with diverse perspectives such as industrial economics and structural analysis, strategic groups, game theory, and competitive dynamics. In this research, we represent and summarize different perspectives of scholars in framing competition and strategy that is related to theory of the firm and differential firm performance;also, we show that there is a trend from static to dynamic frameworks of strategy and competition which have tried to find an answer to differential firm performance. Finally, we conclude by addressing the potential for utilizing new dynamic and systemic perspectives regarding theorizing dynamics of strategy and competition.

We report live animal studies that verify and quantify successful transocular transmission of data from a miniature low-power implant. To minimize damage, implantation within layers of the eye requires an ultrasmall device on a scale of just a few millimeters on each side and less than 500 pro in thickness. A high-frequency transmitter integrated circuit (IC) was designed, fabricated, and bonded onto a board containing an antenna, matching network components, and interconnects. The transmitter must achieve sufficient efficiency to draw minimal power from the limited onboard storage array while outputting a sufficiently large signal to overcome tissue-induced attenuation. Two different versions of the system were developed, one using a low-temperature co-fired ceramic material for the substrate and the other using silicon. Animal studies performed using live rabbits followed by empirical measurements verified the feasibility of a wireless telemetry scheme for a low-power miniature ocular implant.

Digital-circuit hardware and software problems are finding new solutions with the development of new trouble-shooting tools, such as logic and microprocessor analyzers — the result of the increasing use and complexity of digital integrated circuits (ICs). When Spectrum surveyed the logic analyzer field in 1974 (see “The state of logic analyzers,” Dec. 1974), there were only three firms — and a handful of logic analyzer models — on the scene. Today, nearly two dozen companies are producing a multitude of models too numerous to list (see Table I for a representative sampling). The original logic analyzer has spawned bus analyzers, microprocessor analyzers, logic state analyzers, and a variety of other digital-circuit-analyzer instruments.

In the United States, as in many other world areas, the availability of a reliable, high-quality supply of electric energy is taken for granted. Today, the customer expects to connect his alarm clock, his computer or his industrial plant and obtain a continuous supply of electrical energy at standard voltage and frequency. Living up to these standards Is the major challenge for the modern electric utility. With today's mammoth interconnections composed of individual utilities, power pools, super-pools or regional interconnections interlacing over thousands of miles it is essential to resort to the assistance of large-scale computer programmes for system planning purposes. Studies typically undertaken with the aid of computers include load prediction, generation expansion, production costing, transmission expansion, load flow and stability studies.

This article examines how the value to a decision maker of formal, quantitative decision aids changes as the setting shifts from the program level to senior executives and, ultimately, to external groups to which the decision maker is accountable. Examples drawn from the use of research and development project selection models in the U.S. Department of Energy are used to illustrate the various meanings that 'use' of such models can have in a public agency, and how a public agency's accountability to OMB and the Congress affects the ways its program managers use formal project selection models. The article concludes with a discussion of how changes in the administration in power and differences in the technical competence among agency oversight groups might affect the use of formal decision aids.

ESSA Technical Report, IER-17/ITSA-17 (Jones, 1966), is the documentation of an accurate, versatile computer program which computes ray paths through a medium whose index of refraction varies in three dimensions. The program is written in CDC 3600 FORTRAN, which is similar to IBM FORTRAN IV. The program was developed to trace radio rays through the ionosphere, but could be converted to other applications by substituting an appropriate index-of-refraction subroutine.
