were treated with 7.5 N potassium hydroxide. The gases produced in the reaction were carried through standard sulphuric acid to absorb the ammonia and the remaining gas was collected over mercury by means of a Toepler pump. The residue remaining in the reaction tube was analyzed for gallium. (4) Analysis for Nitrogen: substance, 0.1619, 0.2141; cc. 0.09367 N H2SO4, 13.15, 17.38; % N found, 10.6...

Efficiency of Flexible Budgetary Institutions By Renee

Which budgetary institutions result in efficient provision of public goods? We analyze a model with two parties bargaining over the allocation to a public good each period. Parties place different values on the public good, and these values may change over time. We focus on budgetary institutions that determine the rules governing feasible allocations to mandatory and discretionary spending pro...

A Generalization of the Farkas and Kra

We prove generalizations of some partition theorems of Farkas and Kra. 1. The Farkas and Kra partition theorem and its generalization In a recent talk given at the University of Melbourne, Hershel Farkas asked for a(nother) proof of the following elegant partition theorem. Theorem 1.1 (Farkas and Kra [2],[3, Chapter 7]). Consider the positive integers such that multiples of 7 occur in two copie...
