What motivates family members to share resources? Past research argues for, on the one hand, love and altruism, and on the other, the expectation of reciprocity. Drawing on this literature, this paper examines intergenerational transfers between small farmers and their non-coresident children in the rural area around the city of Altamira, Pará, Brazil. We apply GoM (Grade of Membership) models ...

A transient fault is a temporary, one-time event that causes a change in state or erroneous signal transfer in a digital circuit. These faults do not cause permanent damage, but when they strike conventional processors, they may result in incorrect program execution. While detecting and correcting faults in first-order data may be accomplished relatively easily by adding redundancy, protecting ...

Reverse engineering of software is the process of recovering higher-level structure and meaning from a lowerlevel program representation. It can be used for legitimate purposes—e.g., to recover source code that has been lost—but it is often used for nefarious purposes, e.g., to search for security vulnerabilities in binaries or to steal intellectual property. This paper addresses the problem of...

Host range is a viral property reflecting natural hosts that are infected either as part of a principal transmission cycle or, less commonly, as "spillover" infections into alternative hosts. Rarely, viruses gain the ability to spread efficiently within a new host that was not previously exposed or susceptible. These transfers involve either increased exposure or the acquisition of variations t...

in state-investor dispute, investor tends that umbrella clause transfers all contractual claims to treaty claims. by contracts, state follows narrow interpretation of this clause. up to ilc articles, establishing of responsibility of state for breach of contract requires tow preconditions. first state is merely responsible when state condoct has been of governmental nature and second is that br...

The austerity movement in high-income countries of Europe and North America has renewed calls for a guaranteed Basic Income. At the same time, conditional and unconditional cash transfers accompanied by rigorous impact evaluations have been conducted in lowand middle-income countries with the explicit support of the World Bank. Both Basic Income and cash transfer programs are more confidently d...

We consider the problem of extending oblivious transfers: Given a small number of oblivious transfers “for free,” can one implement a large number of oblivious transfers? Beaver has shown how to extend oblivious transfers given a one-way function. However, this protocol is inefficient in practice, in part due to its non-black-box use of the underlying one-way function. We give efficient protoco...

This paper deals with recursive continuous-time system identification using fractional-order models. Long-memory prediction error method is proposed for estimation of all parameters When differentiation orders are assumed known, least squares and methods, being direct extensions to models the classic methods used integer-order models, compared our new method, long-memory method. Given property ...

In this paper, we provide a critical overview of central-state transfers in India. In addition to examining explicit transfers through the Finance Commission, Planning Commission and central ministries, we also analyze implicit transfers that operate through inter-state tax exportation and subsidized lending to the states. We quantify equity impacts of these transfers, finding that formula-base...
