This article is a presentation of a clinical methodology aimed at minimizing binding in fixed orthodontic appliances. The dynforce archwire is explained. The dynforce archwire has a full size anterior segment (e.g. .021×.025) and undersized posterior segments with rectangular cross-section (e.g. .018×.025 or .018×.022), and is used in the orthodontic phase of space closure with or without TAD m...

Guesnerie and Oddou [J. Econom. Theory 25 (1981), 67-91] raised the open question whether an economy, in which the production of a public good is nanced via proportional taxation, has a stable structure. By means of the rst example a negative answer to this question is provided. The second example shows that a stable structure may fail to exist even if all the individuals have the same initial ...

This study supports the main characteristics of a new genus 'Pygmaiobacter' and a new species 'Pygmaiobacter massiliensis' strain Marseille-P3336 (CSUR P3336); that was isolated from a stool sample of a healthy 47-year-old Pygmy woman. The Institut Fédératif de Recherche ethics committee, gave approval for this study under the number 09-022. Samples were collected for microbial content descript...

We investigate the domain of comprehensive but not necessarily convex bargaining problems. Without convexity the Nash solution is not well de ̄ned. We propose a new solution, the Nash Extension, that coincides with the Nash solution when S is convex. We characterize it by Weak Pareto Optimality, Symmetry, Scale Invariance, Continuity, and a new axiom, Ethical Monotonicity. Journal of Economic Li...

We present a necessary and almost sufftcient condition for subgame perfect implementation of social choice correspondences. In societies with at least three individuals, any social choice correspondence which satisfies no veto power and our necessary Condition a is subgame perfect implementable. Thus Condition GL is analogous to monotonicity which, by Maskin’s celebrated characterization, is ne...

The University of Durham Mark 6 Telescope has been used to make observations of a number of AGNs visible from the Southern Hemisphere. Results are presented for limits to VHE gamma ray emission from 1ES 0323+022, PKS 0829+046, 1ES 1101–232, Cen A, PKS 1514–24, RXJ 10578–275 and 1ES 2316–423, both for steady emission and for outbursts on timescales of ∼ 1 day.
