We present a model of opinion dynamics where agents adjust continuous opinions on the occasion of random binary encounters whenever their difference in opinion is below a given threshold. High thresholds yield convergence of opinions towards an average opinion, but low thresholds result in several opinion clusters: members of the same cluster share the same opinion but do not adjust any more wi...

In the online supplement we present details of additional simulations and results that have been referred to in the main text of the paper. In Appendix 1 we present results of the treatment effect estimates from the Across and Within methods in the simulations of Section 3 when matching is performed with replacement. In Appendix 2 we investigate different applications of propensity scores to es...

Battery second use-putting used plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) batteries into secondary service following their automotive tenure-has been proposed as a means to decrease the cost of PEVs while providing low cost energy storage to other fields (e.g., electric utility markets). To understand the value of used automotive batteries, however, we must first answer several key questions related to ba...

Heidelberger and Avery’s early experiments hinged on a simple element: nitrogen. Based on its presence or absence, the duo showed that the antibody-reactive substances on pneumococcal bacterial capsules were nitrogen-free carbohydrates, and that the reacting antibodies were nitrogencontaining proteins (see “How Heidelberger and Avery sweetened immunology” JEM 202:1306). The discovery that antib...
