The paper integrates marriage matching with the collective model of spousal labor supplies with full risk sharing. It derives observable implications of how marriage market conditions a¤ect spousal labor supplies. In addition to sex ratio which is an indirect measure, it provides a direct measure of changes in marriage market conditions. The framework also clari…es the identifying assumptions n...

This paper presents ongoing work towards extensions of meetin-the-middle (MITM) attacks on block ciphers. Exploring developments in MITM attacks in hash analysis such as: (i) the splice-and-cut technique; (ii) the indirect-partial-matching technique. Our first contribution is that we show corrections to previous cryptanalysis and point out that the key schedule is more vulnerable to MITM attack...

Abstract—Decentralized control of haptic interface devices for a shared virtual environment over delayed communication is considered. We show that allowing indirect communication between the interface devices via the virtual environment site may greatly facilitate controller synthesis and analysis by rendering the problem quadratically invariant. In particular, this allows us to find an insight...

The data parallel programming language construct of a “foreach” loop is proposed in the context of hierarchically nested arrays and unbalanced k-ary trees used in high performance applications. In order perform an initial evaluation, an implementation of an automatic parallelization system for C++ programs is introduced, which consists of a preprocessor and a matching library for distributed me...

The significant increase in using reservoir simulation models poses significant challenges in the design and calibration of models. Moreover, conventional model calibration, history matching, is usually performed using a trial and error process of adjusting model parameters until a satisfactory match is obtained. In addition, history matching is an inverse problem, and hence it may have non-uni...

In this article, we provide novel evidence on the additional costs associated with smoking. While it may not be surprising that smokers pay a rent premium, are first to quantify size of premium. Our approach is innovative in use text mining methods extract implicit information landlords’ attitudes smoking directly from Zoopla UK rental listings. Applying hedonic, matching, and machine-learning ...

if the agent, who has the right to appoint a proxy, exercises his right and appoints another person for pursuing the subject of agency, the appointed person is not the agent of the appointer; rather, he is regarded as the indirect agent of the client. therefore, if the object of agency is conclusion of a transaction contract and the indirect proxy concludes it, that [contract] belongs to the cl...
