The need to develop models to predict the motion of microrobots, or robots of a much smaller scale, moving in fluids in a low Reynolds number regime, and in particular, in non Newtonian fluids, cannot be understated. ...

This paper presents a systematic method to synthesize new finite blocklength converses for the channel coding of asymmetric multiple access channels (A-MAC) from point-to-point converses, by employing the linear programming (LP) based framework in [1]. A direct synthesis yields a converse that extends the Polyanskiy-Poor-Verdú metaconverse to A-MAC. Employing a more sophisticated non-linear synthesis, we derive a new, code-independent converse that is asymptotically tight.

Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes complication that has been a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Segmentation of blood vessels and detection of exudates in fundus images through an automated system will help the ophthalmologist to provide a proper treatment that may cure or decrease the severity of the retinal diseases. Realizing its significance, a diabetic retinopathy screening system was proposed in this paper which classifies normal from the abnormal fundus image. Segmentation of blood vessel is based on match filter followed by fuzzy c-means clustering. The small and thin vessels were obtained from directional filter bank by incorporating the use of line-like directional features. In this study a combination of both statistical and geometric features were extracted from image regions. A firefly algorithm for discriminative feature selection for the early detection of diabetic retinopathy was proposed. Publically available dataset such as DRIVE, HRF, DIAREDB1, MESSIDOR and one local dataset are used to validate the suggested system. Moreover, the proposed algorithm has been compared with few state-of-the-art techniques such as particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm and ant colony optimization. The results demonstrated that the proposed method improves the classification accuracy with a minimized feature set for the early detection of diabetic retinopathy.
This paper is concerned with the deployment of multiple mobile robots in order to autonomously cover a region Q. The region to be covered is described using a density function which may not be apriori known. In this p...

We address the problem of price competition between platforms that facilitate the immediate exchange of services between freelance workers and customers in two-sided markets. We consider two competing platforms that offer identical services to their customers at potentially different prices. The objective of each platform is to maximize its throughput by suitably pricing its services. We assume that customers have a preference or loyalty to the platforms while the workers freelance for the two platforms. Assuming that the resulting interaction between the users is such that their aggregate utility is maximized, we show that for each value of the loyalty, there exists a pure strategy Nash equilibrium and characterize it.
