Ontological Thresholds and Christological Method

Oligopoly with Capacity Constraints and Thresholds

    Abstract   Extended Oligopoly models will be introduced and examined in which the firms might face capacity limits, thresholds for minimal and maximal moves, and antitrust thresholds in the case of partial cooperation. Similar situation occurs when there is an additional cost of output adjustment, which is discontinuous at zero due to set-up costs. In these cases the payoff functions of the...

The Modified Eigenface Method using Two Thresholds

A new approach is adopted in this paper based on Turk and Pentland’s eigenface method. It was found that the probability density function of the distance between the projection vector of the input face image and the average projection vector of the subject in the face database, follows Rayleigh distribution. In order to decrease the false acceptance rate and increase the recognition rate, the i...

Thresholds and Expectation Thresholds

(See e.g. [2], [6] or [18]. Of course p0(n) is not quite unique, but following common practice we will often say “the” threshold when we should really say “a.”) It follows from [8] that every {Fn} has a threshold, and that in fact (see e.g. [18, Proposition 1.23 and Theorem 1.24]) p0(n) := pc(Fn) is a threshold for {Fn}. So the quantity pc conveniently captures threshold behavior, in particular...

Invisible Points of Departure: Reading Rothko’s Christological Imagery

A method for comparing psychophysical and multifocal electroretinographic increment thresholds

The multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) has been commonly used as a method for obtaining objective visual fields. Although qualitative comparisons have been good, quantitative comparisons between the results from mfERG and the results from Humphrey Visual Field Analyser (HVFA) have found variable degrees of agreement depending upon the mfERG response parameter examined and/or the disease studi...
