We report the results of experiments conducted over the internet between two different laboratories. Each subject at one site is matched with a subject at another site in a trust game experiment. We investigate whether subjects believe they are really matched with another person, and suggest a methodology for ensuring that subjects’ beliefs are accurate. Results show that skepticism can lead to...

Perceived Ease of Use (PEoU) is one of the most central constructs in IS research. However, it has been examined only from an individual perspective. This article conceptualizes PEoU as a network construct. Results indicate three things. Firstly, the higher a person's PEoU, the more likely she or he is sought for advice. Secondly, there is a greater likelihood that a person seeks out another pe...

Self-ascription of a property is said to be immune to error through misidentification relative to the first-person if and only if one cannot be mistaken about the person who instantiates the property when one has gained information about the property in the appropriate way (although one can be mistaken about the property one ascribes to oneself) (Evans, 1982). For instance, if I think that I am...

If a finite strategic game is strictly dominance solvable, then every simultaneous best response adjustment path, as well as every non-discriminatory individual best response improvement path, ends at a Nash equilibrium after a finite number of steps. If a game is weakly dominance solvable, then every strategy profile can be connected to a Nash equilibrium with a simultaneous best response path...

Foundation announced the winners of the 1996 Nobel Prizes for physics, chemistry and physiology or medicine. Peter C. Doherty of the St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital and Rolf M. Zinkernagel of the Institute of Experimental Immunology, Zurich, shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of how the immune system recognizes virus-infected cells. Doherty and Zinkernage...

Article history: Received 25 August 2014 Accepted after revision 21 October 2014 Available online 12 November 2014 Presented by Haïm Brézis This paper is devoted to the study of cloaking via anomalous localized resonance (CALR) in two and three dimensions in the quasistatic regime. Two key figures of CALR are (i) the localized resonance and (ii) the connection between the localized resonance an...

Cloaking a source via anomalous localized resonance (ALR) was discovered by Milton and Nicorovici in [14]. A general setting in which cloaking a source via ALR takes place is the settting of doubly complementary media. This was introduced and studied in [19] for the quasistatic regime. In this paper, we study cloaking a source via ALR for doubly complementary media in the finite frequency regim...
