Abstract: In some implementations, a device may identify a plurality of individuals that form a target pool for transacting with a plurality of entities. The device may determine responsiveness associations between the plurality of individuals and the plurality of entities. The device may perform, based on the responsiveness associations and a composition of the target pool, multiple iterations of computations of respective quantities of individuals predicted to transact with one or more of the plurality of entities and respective communication allocations predicted to realize transactions for the respective quantities of individuals. Each iteration, of the multiple iterations of computations, may be initiated by an update to the composition of the target pool in response to an entity accepting a communication allocation. The device may cause, based on the entity accepting the communication allocation, transmission of a plurality of communications in accordance with the communication allocation.

Abstract: A Brønsted-Lowry acid initiator system for cationic polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer involves an initiator having a structure of Formula (I) in an anhydrous polymerization medium: where: M is tantalum (Ta), vanadium (V) or niobium (Nb); R1, R2, R3 and R4 are the same or different and are independently H, F, Cl, Br, I, alkyl or aryl, or two or more of R2, R3, R4 and R5 on a same benzene ring are taken together to form a bicyclic, tricyclic or tetracyclic moiety with the benzene ring, with the proviso that all of R1, R2, R3 and R4 on the same benzene ring are not H; L is absent or a molecule that coordinates to H+; and, x is 0 when L is absent, or x is 0.5 or more when L is present.

Abstract: Methods for polymerization of phosphaalkenes using initiators are provided. Also provided are polymers and co-polymers in which the polymer backbone contains tracts of carbon and phosphorous atoms in approximately equimolar amounts. C—P bonds in the polymers of this invention may be predominantly in a head-to-tail arrangement or mixed arrangements. Co-polymers may comprise polyolefin monomer units.
