Abstract Introduction The literature on vulvodynia treatment is heterogeneous in terms of intervention type, study quality, and outcome measures. A systematic review (SR) treatments was recently published focusing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) non-RCTs for provoked vestibulodynia (PVD, a subtype). authors the SR concluded that most studies had very low certainty evidence, which limited ab...

Empirical studies of static and dynamic diagrams have traditionally collected outcome data indicating the effectiveness of these depictions with respect to comprehension and learning. Because outcome measures alone provide limited insights as to why diagrams are or are not effective, there has been growing interest in studying how people process these depictions. In some cases, the aim of this ...

We consider Salim Rashid’s asymptotic version of David Schmeidler’s theorem on the purification of Nash equilibria. We show that, in contrast to what is stated, players’ payoff functions have to be selected from an equicontinuous family in order for Rashid’s theorem to ∗I wish to thank Mário Páscoa and Myrna Wooders for very helpful comments. All remaining errors are, of course, mine. †Address:...

We consider the arithmetics of Collatz cycles in Q(2)]. In particular , we prove optimal estimates for the length of a cycle in terms of its minimum. As an application, we derive an improved version of Eliahou's criterion , and we show that the length of (integer) Collatz cycles which do not contain 1, is at least 102 225 496 provided the Collatz conjecture is veriied for all initial values x 0...
