Appearance and disappearance of quantum correlations in measurement-based feedback control of a mechanical oscillator (2017)
Journal Article

Quantum correlations between imprecision and backaction are a hallmark of continuous linear measurements. Here, we study how measurement-based feedback can be used to improve the visibility of quantum correlations due to the interaction of a laser fi...

Endogenous lysophosphatidic acid (LPA1) receptor agonists demonstrate ligand bias between calcium and ERK signalling pathways in human lung fibroblasts (2017)
Journal Article

Background and Purpose Human lung fibroblasts (HLF) express high levels of the LPA1 receptor, a GPCR that responds to the endogenous lipid mediator, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Several molecular species or analogues of LPA exist and have been det...

Mean-VaR portfolio optimization: a nonparametric approach (2017)
Journal Article

Portfolio optimization involves the optimal assignment of limited capital to different available financial assets to achieve a reasonable trade-off between profit and risk. We consider an alternative Markowitz's mean-variance model, in which the vari... Read More about Mean-VaR portfolio optimization: a nonparametric approach.

Markov Chain methods for the Bipartite Boolean Quadratic Programming Problem (2017)
Journal Article

We study the Bipartite Boolean Quadratic Programming Problem (BBQP) which is an extension of the well known Boolean Quadratic Programming Problem (BQP).
