On the occasion of quality controls in food business and during official food surveillance, didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) residues in excess of the currently applicable maximum residue level (MRL) of 0.01 mg/kg were detected in food. The first opinion on DDAC residues, which was issued by the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) on 29 June 2012 (BfR opinion No 024/2012, availab...

The Thick-Restart Lanczos (TRLan) method is an effective method for solving large-scale Hermitian eigenvalue problems. On a modern computer, communication can dominate the solution time of TRLan. To enhance the performance of TRLan, we develop CA-TRLan that integrates communication-avoiding techniques into TRLan. To study the numerical stability and solution time of CA-TRLan, we conduct numeric...

A (directed) cycle C in a graph is called consistent provided there exists an automorphism of , acting as a 1-step rotation of C. A beautiful but not well-known result of J.H. Conway states that if is arc-transitive and has valence d, then there are precisely d − 1 orbits of consistent cycles under the action of Aut( ).

We consider a Bayesian public goods environment with independent private valuations. We fully characterize interim e cient allocation rules and prove that they correspond to decision rules based on a virtual cost-bene t criterion, together with the appropriate incentive taxes. Compared to the classical Lindahl-Samuelson solution there are generally distortions that depend on the welfare weights...
