Dynamics of Sparsely Connected Networks of Excitatory and Inhibitory Spiking Neurons
, 1999
"... The dynamics of networks of sparsely connected excitatory and inhibitory integrateand -re neurons is studied analytically. The analysis reveals a very rich repertoire of states, including: Synchronous states in which neurons re regularly; Asynchronous states with stationary global activity and very ..."

and inhibition, is varied. Two types of network oscillations are observed: In the `fast' oscillatory state, the network frequency is almost fully controlled by the synaptic time scale. In the `slow' oscillatory state, the network frequency depends mostly on the membrane time constant. Finite size eects
How Large Are Human Capital Externalities? Evidence from Compulsory Schooling Laws
- IN NBER MACRO ANNUAL
, 2000
"... Many economists and policy makers believe that education creates positive externalities. Indeed, average schooling in U.S. states is highly correlated with state wage levels, even after controlling for the direct e¤ect of schooling on individual wages. We use variation in child labor laws and compul ..."

Maximizing Queueing Network Utility Subject to Stability: Greedy Primal-dual algorithm
- Queueing Systems
, 2005
"... We study a model of controlled queueing network, which operates and makes control decisions in discrete time. An underlying random network mode determines the set of available controls in each time slot. Each control decision \produces " a certain vector of \commodities"; it also has assoc ..."

The primary design goal of Cyclone is to let programmers control data representation and memory management without sacrificing type-safety.

Ownership, Encapsulation and the Disjointness of Type and Effect
- In Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications (OOPSLA
, 2002
"... Ownership types provide a statically enforceable notion of object-level encapsulation. We extend ownership types with computational e#ects to support reasoning about objectoriented programs. The ensuing system provides both access control and e#ects reporting. Based on this type system, we codify tw ..."

Correlation eects and Pekar bipolaron
"... Buimistrov-Pekar method of canonical transformation was used to calculate the energies of the lowest singlet and triplet terms of bipolarons in crystals with ion binding. An arbitrary electron-phonon interaction described by Frohlich Hamilto-nian was considered. It was shown that in the whole parame ..."

Spousal Control and Intra-Household Decision Making: An Experimental Study

These strong treatment e¤ects on men, but not women, appear related more to control than to gender: men whose wives control household savings respond more strongly to the treatment and women whose husbands control savings exhibit the same response.

Scaling eects in the CSP phase transition

, 1995

There is a rapid transition in the probability of a CSP having a solution at a critical value of this parameter. This paramete ..."
