A Learning Algorithm for Risk-Sensitive Cost (2008)
Basu, Arnab, Bhattacharyya, Tirthankar, Borkar, Vivek S
A linear function approximation-based reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed for Markov decision processes with infinite horizon risk-sensitive cost. Its convergence is proved using the "o.d.e....
An Implementation of Process Networks in Java by (2008)
Process networks are networks of sequential processes connected by channels behaving like FIFO queues. These are used in signal and image processing applications that need to run in bounded memory...
Stochastic Differential Games with Multiple Modes and Applications to Portfolio Optimization (2007)
We study a zero-sum stochastic differential game with multiple modes. The state of the system is governed by "controlled switching" diffusion processes. Under certain conditions, we show that the...

On the distribution and adoption of genetically modified seeds in developing countries (2005)
Given the proprietary nature of most genetically modified (GM) seed technologies, the question arises as to how farmers in developing countries can gain proper access to these innovations. Based on...

On the distribution and adoption of genetically modified seeds in developing countries (2004)
Given the proprietary nature of most genetically modified (GM) seed technologies, the question arises as to how farmers in developing countries can gain proper access to these innovations. Based on...
Design of a computer based system for control of capillary electrphoresis instrument / (2000)
Thesis (M.S. in Engin.)--University of Texas at Austin, 2000.
Process networks are networks of sequential processes connected by channels behaving like FIFO queues. These are used in signal and image processing applications that need to run in bounded memory...

There was an inexplicable upsurge in the incidence of non-O1, non-O139 Vibrio cholerae among hospitalized patients admitted to the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Calcutta, India, between February and...
Molecular Epidemiology of Reemergent Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal in India
Mukhopadhyay, Asish Kumar, Basu, Arnab, Garg, Pallavi, Bag, Prasanta K., Ghosh, Amit, Bhattacharya, S. K., ...
We report the prevalence of the O139 serogroup in Calcutta, India, after its reemergence in August 1996 and the spread of the reemerged clone to other parts of the country by using previously...

We previously reported a number of features of hepatitis C virus (HCV) chimeric glycoproteins related to pseudotype virus entry into mammalian cells. In this study, pseudotype virus was neutralized...
Basu, Arnab, Beyene, Aster, Meyer, Keith, Ray, Ranjit
The hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) E2 envelope glycoprotein is a 27-amino-acid sequence located at its N terminus. In this study, we investigated the functional role of HVR1...
Meyer, Keith, Beyene, Aster, Bowlin, Terry L., Basu, Arnab, Ray, Ranjit
We have previously reported that a pseudotype virus generated by reconstitution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) chimeric envelope glycoprotein E1-G or E2-G on the surface of a temperature-sensitive mutant...
Saito, Kousuke, Meyer, Keith, Warner, Rebecca, Basu, Arnab, Ray, Ratna B., Ray, Ranjit
We have previously shown that hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein modulates multiple cellular processes, including those that inhibit tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-mediated apoptosis. In this...
Generation of Infectious Hepatitis C Virus in Immortalized Human Hepatocytes
Kanda, Tatsuo, Basu, Arnab, Steele, Robert, Wakita, Takaji, Ryerse, Jan S., Ray, Ranjit, ...
Progress in understanding hepatitis C virus (HCV) biology has remained a challenge due to the lack of an efficient cell culture system for virus growth. In this study, we examined HCV core...
