Radial Symmetry Does Not Preclude Condorcet Cycles If Different Voters Weight the Issues Differently

When Voters Strategize, Approval Voting Elects Condorcet Winners but Condorcet Methods can Elect Condorcet Losers

We show that approval voting strategic equilibria are closely related to honest Condorcet Winners. There exists an approval equilibrium with a clear font-runner F and runner-up R if and only if the F is the clear Condorcet Winner and R the Condorcet runner-up. In contrast, we show that margins-based Condorcet methods can elect a Condorcet Loser with non-zero probibility when voters vote tactica...

The Condorcet efficiency of Borda Rule with anonymous voters

The Condorcet winner in an election is the candidate that would be able to defeat each of the other candidates in a series of pairwise elections. The Condorcet efficiency of a voting rule is the conditional probability that it would elect the Condorcet winner, given that a Condorcet winner exists. A closed form representation is obtained for the Condorcet efficiency of Borda Rule in three candi...

Use of Standard Form Does Not Preclude TILA Violation

Impaired face recognition does not preclude intact whole face perception

We studied intact and impaired processes in a prosopagnosic patient (RP). In Experiment 1, RP showed an inversion superiority effect with both faces and objects, with better performance when stimuli were presented upside down than in normal upright orientation. In Experiment 2, we studied the effect of face configuration directly by comparing matching performance with normal vs. scrambled faces...

Severe intellectual disability does not preclude renal transplantation.

BACKGROUND Intellectual disability (ID) in patients with chronic kidney disease is a relative contraindication for kidney transplantation. METHODS We analysed a retrospective cohort of 16 recipients of kidney transplantation with ID and 83 controls. RESULTS Graft survival at 5 years was similar between patients (81.2%) and controls (80.2%), P = 0.9. Patient survival at 5 years was lower amo...
