An Incentive Mechanism for Crowdsensing Markets With Multiple Crowdsourcers

Abstract: In this paper, we design an incentive mechanism for data collection in smart cities We propose an incentive mechanism for crowdsensing with multiple crowdsourcers We model the incentive mechanism as a noncooperative game We consider two different pricing mechanisms when the crowdsourcers fixed the rewards in advance, and when the crowdsourcers dynamically set the rewards in order to maximize their own utilities A discrete time dynamic inspired by the well known best response dynamic, called elite strategy dynamics, is proposed to compute a Nash equilibrium of the modeled game Comprehensive simulations were presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed incentive mechanism

Early intervention programs: an effective police accountability tool, or punishment of the productive?

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this research is to examine one agency's experience with their early intervention program (EIP), exploring the specifics of the program as well as the characteristics of the officers who were identified by their EIP criteria.Design/methodology/approach – Using data from calendar year 2000 that were provided from the Internal Affairs Bureau of a large Southern police department, the characteristics of EIP and non‐EIP flagged officers, the classifying criteria examined, and the issue of productivity and opportunity investigated as they related to the classification criteria.Findings – EIP officers were more likely to be younger, male, and have fewer years of experience. Additionally, these officers made more arrests, filed more use of force reports, and used higher levels of force. All qualifications were based on the use of force. The findings highlighted the importance of considering the productivity of an officer along with the EIP criteria: opportunity (defined as the number of ...

Nanomedicine-based cancer immunotherapy: recent trends and future perspectives

Abstract: The combination of cancer immunotherapy with efficient functionalized nanosystems has emerged as a beneficial treatment strategy and its use has increased rapidly. The roles of stimuli-responsive nanosystems and nanomedicine-based cancer immunotherapy, a subsidiary discipline in the field of immunology, are pivotal. The present era is witnessing rapid advancements in the use of nanomedicine as a platform for investigating novel therapeutic applications and modern intelligent healthcare management strategies. The development of cancer nanomedicine has posthaste ratified the outcomes of immunotherapy to the subsequent stage in the current era of medical research. This review focuses on key findings with respect to the effectiveness of nanomedicine-based cancer immunotherapies and their applications, which include i) immune checkpoint inhibitors and nanomedicine, ii) CRISPR-Cas nanoparticles (NPs) in cancer immunotherapy, iii) combination cancer immunotherapy with core-shell nanoparticles, iv) biomimetic NPs for cancer immunotherapy, and v) CAR-T cells and cancer nanoimmunotherapy. By evaluating the state-of-the-art tools and taking the challenges involved into consideration, various aspects of the proposed nano-enabled therapeutic approaches have been discussed in this review.
