Abstract We study the problem of sharing revenues raised from collective sale broadcasting rights for sports leagues. characterize rules satisfying three basic and intuitive axioms: symmetry, additivity maximum aspirations. They convey a natural compromise between two focal rules, arising polar estimations teams’ loyal viewers. also show that these ruleshave further interesting properties, such...

BACKGROUND This study assessed clustering of three health-compromising behaviours and explored the association of neighbourhood and individual social capital with simultaneous health-compromising behaviours and patterns of those behaviours in women in the first trimester of pregnancy (baseline) and during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy (follow-up). METHODS A longitudinal study w...

We tested the hypothesis that mating strategies with genomic information realise lower rates of inbreeding (∆F) than with pedigree information without compromising rates of genetic gain (∆G). We used stochastic simulation to compare ∆F and ∆G realised by two mating strategies with pedigree and genomic information in five breeding schemes. The two mating strategies were minimum-coancestry mating...

The demand for replicability of behavioral results across laboratories is viewed as a burden in behavior genetics. We demonstrate how it can become an asset offering a quantitative criterion that guides the design of better ways to describe behavior. Passing the high benchmark dictated by the replicability demand requires less stressful and less restraining experimental setups, less noisy data,...
