Silverpit: the Morphology of a Terrestrial Multi-ringed Impact Structure

Introduction: The Silverpit impact structure was discovered during 2001 on three-dimensional (3D) seismic data obtained during routine hydrocarbon exploration in the southern North Sea [1]. It is now known that five commercially-acquired 3D seismic datasets partially cover the structure and approximately 80% of Silverpit is imaged by high-resolution 3D data (Figure 1). Two boreholes had been dr...

Photogeology of the multi-ringed crater Haidane in Mare Smythii

Haldatie Is a 40 km multi-ringed crater that occurs along with similar structures in a belt within the Smylhii Basin, It is the best developed structurally of all ciraters in this belt and displays examples of all materials units of Mare Smythii. In addition to the outer rim, the crater displays a sharp-crested, nearly complete inner ring, and a complex central peak of round hills that are 3nO-...

Preference Revelation in Multi-Attribute Bidding Procedures: An Experimental Analysis

In this paper, the authors report on a computer-based laboratory experiment investigating whether disclosing the buyer’s preferences in a multi-attribute reverse English auctions affects buyer’s utility, suppliers’ profits and efficiency. The results show that full revelation of the buyer’s preferences significantly increases allocational efficiency. Suppliers use the additional information in ...

Imperfect commitment and the revelation principle : the multi - agent case

We consider mechanism design problems with n agents when the mechanism designer cannot fully commit to an allocation function. With a single agent (n 5 1) optimal mechanisms can always be represented by direct mechanisms, under which each agent’s message set is the set of his possible types [Bester, H., Strausz, R., 2000. Contracting with imperfect commitment and the revelation principle: the s...
