We investigate the choice of market variable, price or quantity, of an optimal implicit cartel. If the discount factor is high, the cartel can realize the monopoly pro...t in both cases. Otherwise, it is optimal for the cartel to rely on quantities in the collusive phase if goods are substitutes and prices if goods are complements. The reason is that this minimizes the gains from deviations fro...

In this paper we propose to widen both the domain and range of Arrovian social choice to allow for a more general and transparent model. The domain will be enlarged towards pro...les of extended orderings, while we allow the range to contain quasi-orderings, and thus possibly incomplete social relations. By adapting some standard axioms towards our framework, we can derive a generalization of t...

Background: Different studies have investigated the association between p53 codon 72 Arg>Pro polymorphism and cancer risk. Because of the lack of consensus of the results in individual studies, we conducted this meta-analysis by pooling all currently available case–control studies to estimate the effect of p53 codon 72 Arg/Pro polymorphism on cancer susceptibility in Iranian population. ...

Many people are trying to be smarter every day. How's about you? There are many ways to evoke this case you can find knowledge and lesson everywhere you want. However, it will involve you to get what call as the preferred thing. When you need this kind of sources, the following book can be a great choice. combinatorial pattern matching 20th annual symposium cpm 2009 lille france june 22 24 2009...

This paper considers random games, in which the actual game being played | its player set, the action spaces of the involved players, and their preferences | is determined by a stochastic state of nature. To capture the uncertainty at the planning stage whether or not a certain action choice is feasible, maximum likelihood equilibria are introduced: strategy pro ̄les that lead to equilibrium pla...

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for two months now with no success. I'm 34 and he is 35. I have bought early ovulation tests and everything. My question to you is that it seems that my cervical fluid is never "egg white" slippery until a few days before my period. So what are some other symptoms that I need to pay attention to? I have been pregnant before but I terminated it. I wa...

‎In this paper‎, ‎by using the sequence of multipliers‎, ‎we introduce frames with algebraic bounds in Hilbert pro-$ C^* $-modules‎. ‎We investigate the relations between frames and $ ast $-frames‎. ‎Some properties of $ ast $-frames in Hilbert pro-$ C^* $-modules are studied‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we show that there exist two differences between $ ast $-frames in Hilbert pro-$ C^* $-modules and Hilbert $ ...

Novokinin (RPLKPW), LPYPR, and rubiscolin (YPLDLF) are bioactive peptides with respective hypotensive, hypocholesterolemic, and memory-enhancing activities. We generated transgenic soybean lines that expressed modified forms of the alpha' subunit of seed storage protein beta-conglycinin containing tandem repeats of these bioactive peptides. The modified alpha' subunits constituted up to 0.2% of...
