The desire to understand the mechanisms of market information integration motivates this study. Large sample experimental prediction markets with varying feedback mechanisms afforded the study of aggregate and individual’s actions. Markets without feedback demonstrated information collection by outperforming the average of their participants. When feedback was introduced the inductive process o...

Different imaging techniques are presented and applied to the study of historical and artistic objects and buildings, mainly belonging to Renaissance time, in the city of Bologna, where the arenaria (sandstone) of which they are constituted is largely degradated in the surfaces due to the effects of pollutants present in the atmosphere, since suitable 3D reconstruction algorithm may be very use...

Infrared observations of seaborne thermal sources are subject to the effects of atmospheric refraction. For low elevation angles at long ranges, out to the limit of visibility, the inevitable atmospheric temperature gradients frequently produce mirages. I present an analysis of a 22-min sequence of images recorded on 18 February 1994 at the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center at Wallops Island, V...

In the MIRAGE trade policy simulation model, country current account balances are kept constant relative to world GDP, at their base year values, for the whole simulation period. Such a specification imposes no limit to country international investment positions, which do not appear explicitly in the model anyway. That rather unrealistic hypothesis could have an influence on trade flows, and co...

Submicron atmospheric aerosol particles were collected during the Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observation (MILAGRO) in March 2006 at three platforms located in the Mexico City urban area (at the Mexico City Atmospheric Monitoring System building – SIMAT), at about 60 km south-east of the metropolitan area (Altzomoni in the Cortes Pass), and on board the NCAR C130 aircraft. Or...

Today‟s world is often considered as always on the wheel world which depicts a peculiarity that it is very dynamic, each second plays a pivotal role in changing the business scenario, consumers are now effectively aware of their rights and duties towards the society which in turn points towards the business, telling them the fact that now he is no more a dumb customer only. He is equally concer...
