Converging Hands or Converging Minds?

Interlocutors sometimes repeat each other’s representational hand gestures. We investigated if this is a case of direct mimicry of form, or whether perceiving a gesture gives rise to a semantic representation, which subsequently informs gesture production. For this we used an interactive route description task, in which a confederate’s gestures indicated the route in either the vertical or the ...

Deposit Insurance as Private Club: Is Germany a Model?

This paper describes and evaluates the deposit insurance scheme set up by private commercial banks in Germany in 1975. Unlike schemes in other countries, its funding and management is completely private, without any public supervision. While other schemes rely on monitoring by depositors to decrease moral hazard problems, the German scheme relies on peer monitoring by its member banks. This pap...

A remark on the converging-input converging-state property

Suppose that an equilibrium is asymptotically stable when external inputs vanish. Then, every bounded trajectory which corresponds to a control which approaches zero and which lies in the domain of attraction of the unforced system, must also converge to the equilibrium. This “well-known” but hard-to-cite fact is proved and slightly generalized here.

A Radially Converging Electron

The Reble accelerator at Sandia Laboratories is described. This accelerator was developed to provide an experimental source for studying the relevant diode physics, bea.m propagation, beam energy deposition in a gas using a radially converging e-bea.m. The nominal parameters for Reble are 1 WI, 200 kA., 20 ns e-bea.m pulse. The anode and cathode are concentric CY.linders with the anode as the i...
