A bandwidth-sharing game is a type of resource allocation game designed to model the real-world allocation of bandwidth to many users in a network. The game is popular in game theory because the conclusions can be applied to real-life networks.

The game 
The game involves  players.
Each player  has utility  for  units of bandwidth.
Player  pays  for  units of bandwidth and receives net utility of .
The total amount of bandwidth available is .

Regarding , we assume
 
  is increasing and concave;
  is continuous.

The game arises from trying to find a price  so that every player individually optimizes their own welfare. This implies every player must individually find . Solving for the maximum yields .

Problem 
With this maximum condition, the game then becomes a matter of finding a price that satisfies an equilibrium. Such a price is called a market clearing price.

Possible solution 

A popular idea to find the price is a method called fair sharing. In this game, every player  is asked for the amount they are willing to pay for the given resource denoted by . The resource is then distributed in  amounts by the formula . This method yields an effective price .
This price can proven to be market clearing; thus, the distribution  is optimal. The proof is as so:

Proof 
We have

.
Hence,

from which we conclude 
  
and thus

Comparing this result to the equilibrium condition above, we see that when  is very small, the two conditions equal each other and thus, the fair sharing game is almost optimal.

Bohorodychne (; ) is a village in Kramatorsk Raion (district) in Donetsk Oblast of south-eastern Ukraine, at about  north-northwest from the centre of Donetsk city, on the right bank of the Siverskyi Donets river.

The village came under attack by Russian forces in June 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On 17 August the Russian forces captured the village.

On 11 July the Interior Minister of the Luhansk People's Republic Vitaly Kiselyov claimed that Bohorodychne was captured by the LPR and Russia, although this claim was not independently verified.

On September the AFP reported that the village's population had been reduced to just two remaining residents.  Additionally, photographs in the article show that the church shown in the village's profile pic has been completely destroyed (see article cover picture).

Estrone phosphate (E1P), or estrone 3-phosphate, is an estrogen and steroid sulfatase inhibitor which was never marketed. It has similar affinity for steroid sulfatase as estrone sulfate and acts as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme. In contrast to estrone sulfate however, it is not hydrolyzed by steroid sulfatase and is instead metabolized by phosphatases.

Extended Adaptive Multi-Rate – Wideband (AMR-WB+) is an audio codec that extends AMR-WB. It adds support for stereo signals and higher sampling rates. Another main improvement is the use of transform coding (transform coded excitation – TCX) additionally to ACELP. This greatly improves the generic audio coding. Automatic switching between transform coding and ACELP provides both good speech and audio quality with moderate bit rates.

As AMR-WB operates at internal sampling rate 12.8 kHz, AMR-WB+ also supports various internal sampling frequencies ranges from 12.8 kHz to 38.4 kHz. AMR-WB uses 16 kHz sampling frequency with a resolution of 14 bits left justified in a 16-bit word. AMR-WB+ uses 16/24/32/48 kHz sampling frequencies with a resolution of 16 bits in a 16-bit word.

3GPP originally developed the AMR-WB+ audio codec for streaming and messaging services in Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) and Third Generation (3G) cellular systems.
Its primary target applications are Packet-Switched Streaming service (PSS), Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service (MBMS).

File storage of AMR-WB+ encoded audio is specified within the 3GP container format, 3GPP-defined ISO-based multimedia file format defined in 3GPP TS 26.244.

The AMR-WB+ codec has a wide bit-rate range, from 5.2 to 48 kbit/s. Mono rates are scalable from 5.2 to 36 kbit/s, and stereo rates are scalable from 6.2 to 48 kbit/s, reproducing bandwidth up to 20 kHz (approaching CD quality). Moreover, it provides backward compatibility with AMR wideband.

Software support 
In September 2005, VoiceAge Corporation announced availability of AMR-WB+ decoder in Helix DNA Client.

Licensing and patent issues 
AMR-WB+ compression incorporate several patents of Nokia Corporation, Telefonaktiebolaget L. M. Ericsson and VoiceAge Corporation.

VoiceAge Corporation is the License Administrator for the AMR and AMR-WB+ patent pools. VoiceAge also accepts submission of patents for determination of their possible essentiality to these standards.

The initial fee for applications using "real-time channels" with AMR-WB+ is $6,500. Minimum annual royalty shall be $10,000, excluding the initial fee in year 1 of the license agreement.

AMR-WB+ monaural decoder in a category of personal computer products is licensed for free. Stereo AMR-WB+ decoder for personal computer products is licensed for $0.30.

David Fechheimer (30 April 1942 – 2 April 2019), nicknamed "Fech," was an American private investigator based in San Francisco. He worked on many cases involving celebrities or other notables, including Patty Hearst, Martha Stewart, Kobe Bryant, Timothy McVeigh and Angela Davis.

Inspired by Dashiell Hammett's novel The Maltese Falcon, while in graduate school Fechheimer enquired with Pinkerton about a job, asking if they would employ someone with a beard, and was immediately hired for an undercover job. This led to him leaving his master's program and becoming a private investigator.  Later he worked for Hal Lipset, then in 1976 he formed his own agency, where he employed Josiah Thompson.

Among the many famous cases Fechheimer worked on was the paternity controversy after Larry Hillblom's death, where he obtained a DNA sample from Hillblom's mother by tricking her into licking a donation envelope at her church. He often worked for the defense in criminal cases, including in 2002 John Walker Lindh, when he travelled to Afghanistan to interview people to gather background information to discredit the prosecution case.  He worked for Theranos, investigating employees Erika Cheung and Tyler Schultz.

Fechheimer had a lifelong interest in Dashiell Hammett.  He was also a winemaker, owning a small vineyard and selling a cabernet sauvignon named after Hammett's novel Red Harvest.

Jean-Pierre Kinet (born October 23, 1953) is a French-American immunologist known for his work studying the role of calcium signaling in the immune response. He is a professor in the Department of Pathology and an Immunology Faculty Member in the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center at Harvard Medical School.

Kinet was born and raised in Tilff-Esneux, Belgium. and trained as a physician in Belgium. He completed a bachelor's degree in Medicine cum laude from the University of Namur, Belgium, and obtained his M.D. from the University of Liège, Belgium, in 1979. From 1979-1982, he completed a residency in internal medicine, also at the University of Liège, while conducting research in hematology and nephrology.

In 1982, Kinet began a post-doctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the lab of Henry Metzger where he cloned and characterized the alpha subunit of the Fc Receptor for Immunoglobulin E, an important component of the immune response against parasitic infections and the allergic and anaphylactic responses. He then became a senior investigator in 1987 and cloned the beta and gamma subunits of the IgE receptor and show that all subunits were necessary to reconstitute the receptor at the cell surface. In 1989, Kinet was appointed Head of the Molecular Allergy and Immunology Section at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIH. His laboratory continued to characterize the biology of the Fc𝛆RI receptor, elucidating key aspects of its gene regulation, antigen recognition, and intracellular signal transduction mechanisms. In 1995, Kinet moved to Harvard Medical School, where he was appointed Professor of Pathology. While continuing to investigate Fc𝛆RI biology, his lab also began to study calcium signaling in immune cells. This work eventually led to the identification of key channel proteins involved in calcium signaling in immune and other non-neuronal cell types

In the early 2000's, Kinet started collaborating in private biotechnology ventures. He notably co-founded Astarix and AB Science. He is currently chairman for early-stage companie VAXON-Biotech and is Managing Partner in the (€ 50M) iXLife Capital fund. He sits on the board of AB Science SA, Pharmaleads, ONXEO SA, and 6 other companies.

Élisabeth Daynès (Béziers, 1960-) is a French sculptor notable for her anthropological work relating to early humans. 

By 1981, she was working with the Théâtre de la Salamandre in Lille, creating masks for the theatre. 
In 1984, she founded her own studio, Atelier Daynès, in Paris. Some years later, the museum at Le Parc du Thot, close to the Lascaux caves, asked her to sculpt a life-sized woolly mammoth with a group of humans from the Magdalenian epoch. She has since specialized in reconstructing hominids from remaining bones. Her work is present in museums all over the world, including the Musée des Merveilles in Tende, Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Transvaal Museum in Pretoria, Sangiran Museum in Indonesia, Naturhistoriska riksmuseet in Stockholm, and Museum of Human Evolution in Burgos (Spain). One Daynès sculpture at the Field Museum depicts Homo ergaster, a pre-Neanderthal hominid that lived about 1.6 million years ago. One of her most notable sculptures is at the Krapina Neanderthal Museum in northern Croatia, where she made a reconstruction of an entire seventeen-member Neanderthal family.

In 2005, she created a lifelike model of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in a project with National Geographic. A close resemblance to the Pharaoh is likely, even though physical features like ears, nose tip, and colors of skin and eyes cannot be reliably reconstructed.

Award
In 2010 Daynès won the John J. Lazendorf Paleoart prize, widely regarded as the most prestigious award given to artists in science art related to paleontology, in the category of Three-Dimensional Art.
