A conclave is a voting mechanism in which a committee selects an alternative by voting until a su cient supermajority is reached. We study experimentally welfare properties of simple three-voter conclaves with privately known preferences over two outcomes and waiting costs. The resulting game is a form of multiplayer war of attrition. Our key nding is that, consistent with theoretical predictio...

Two pairs of small stagnant ice bodies on the Hazen Plateau of northeastern Ellesmere Island, the St. Patrick Bay ice caps and the Murray and Simmons ice caps, are rapidly shrinking, and the remnants of the St. Patrick Bay ice caps are likely to disappear entirely within the next 5 years. Vertical aerial photographs of these Little Ice Age relics taken during August of 1959 show that the larger...

An encapsulated chloride in a thiophene-based cryptand is bridged by two in-in protons of tertiary amines with an N...Cl(-) distance of 3.048(3) A, similar to that observed in Park and Simmons' katapinand chloride complex.

Abstract. The energy of a molecular graph is a popular parameter that is defined as the sum of the absolute values of a graph’s eigenvalues. It is well known that the energy is related to the matching polynomial and thus also to the Hosoya index via a certain Coulson integral. Trees minimizing the energy under various additional conditions have been determined in the past, e.g., trees with a gi...

We consider various possibilities for generating neutrino masses in supersymmetric models with an additional U(1)′ gauge symmetry. One class of models involves two extra U(1)′ ×U(1)′′ gauge symmetries, with U(1)′′ breaking at an intermediate scale and yielding small Dirac masses through high-dimensional operators. The right-handed neutrinos N c i can naturally decouple from the low energy U(1)′...
