Salvation as a selective incentive

As club goods, religions face the problem of free riding. Smaller religious clubs, such as cults or sects, can often surmount this problem through communal pressures or by requiring their members to provide easily monitored signals. Generally, however, such tactics will be unavailable or too costly for large denominations, and, as such, these denominations must look for other techniques to avoi...

Selective Associations: a Methodological Critique

Significant Associations of the rs3104413 Single-nucleotide Polymorphism in the HLA Region with Type 1 Diabetes

Logical reversibility

A method has been developed for transforming a program written in the probabilistic guarded-command language ( pGCL) into an equivalent but reversible program. The method extends previous work on logical reversibility to that language and pertains to “demonic” nondeterminism and probability. Use is made of a formal definition of logical reversibility and the expectation-transformer semantics fo...
