We discuss a model, in which two agents may distribute finitely many objects among themselves. The conflict is resolved by means of a market procedure. Depending on the specifications, this procedure serves to implement bargaining solutions such as the discrete Raiffa solution, the Kalai-Smorodinsky solution and the Perles-Maschler solution. The latter is axiomatized using the superadditivity a...

We introduce a model of bargaining among groups, and characterize a family of solutions using a Consistency axiom and a few other invariance and monotonicity properties. For each solution in the family, there exists some constant α ≥ 0 such that the "bargaining power" of a group is proportional to cα, where c is the cardinality of the group.

Two different paradoxes of the fuzzy logic programming system of [29] are presented. The first paradox is due to two distinct (contradictory) truth values for every ground atom of FLP, one is syntactical, the other is semantical. The second paradox concerns the cardinality of the valid FLP formulas which is found to have contradictory values: both $\aleph_0$ the cardinality of the natural numbe...

The hallmark of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs or prion diseases) is the accumulation of an abnormally folded, partially protease-resistant form (PrP-res) of the normal protease-sensitive prion protein (PrP-sen). PrP-sen is attached to the cell membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. In vitro, the anchor and the local membrane environment are important for the ...

Recently, a novel DNA virus designated SEN virus (SEN-V), which is thought to be related to posttransfusion hepatitis, was discovered. The aim of the present study was to clarify the relationship between SEN-V infection and the development of liver disease. We examined SEN-V from the sera of 21 patients with non-B, non-C hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 13 patients with non-B, non-C chronic l...

In this paper, we discuss different models for human logic systems and describe a game with nature. Gödel‘s incompleteness theorem is taken into account to construct a model of logical networks based on axioms obtained by symmetry breaking. These classical logic networks are then coupled using rules that depend on whether two networks contain axioms or anti-axioms. The social lattice of axiom b...

We give an affirmative answer to Brendle’s and Hrušák’s question of whether the club principle together with h > א1 is consistent. We work with a class of axiom A forcings with countable conditions such that q ≥n p is determined by finitely many elements in the conditions p and q and that all strengthenings of a condition are subsets, and replace many names by actual sets. There are two types o...

Proof. Without loss of generality, we only need to prove for the case s= 1, as ρ satisfies Axioms A1-A5 if and only if 1 s ρ satisfies Axioms A1-A5 (with s= 1 in Axiom A3). The “only if” part. First, we show that (2) holds for any X ∈L∞(Ω,F , P ). Define the set function ν(E) := ρ(1E),E ∈F . Then, it follows from Axiom A2 and A3 that ν is monotonic, ν(∅) = 0, and ν(Ω) = 1. ForM ≥ 1, define LM :...

We present instances of the following phenomenon: if a product of topological spaces satisfies some given compactness property then the factors satisfy a stronger compactness property, except possibly for a small number of factors. The first known result of this kind, a consequence of a theorem by A. H. Stone, asserts that if a product is regular and Lindelöf then all but at most countably many...

Aim: A recently discovered DNA virus (SEN virus) has been assumed to be responsible for posttransfusion hepatitis in humans. Phylogenetic analysis of the SEN virus (SEN-V) has revealed the existence of 8 different genotypes (A-H). SEN-V genotype-H (SENV-H) and SEN-V genotype-D (SENV-D) have been described as most closely associated with post-transfusion hepatitis. So far, it is unclear whether ...
