(b) We do several iterations of eliminating strictly dominated strategies. First, note that when v < 75, bidding 75 is strictly dominated: regardless of the other bidder’s strategy, you will win the auction at least half the time, giving strictly negative payoff, while bidding 0 ensures a payoff of 0. Second, assume your opponent never bids 75 unless his value is at least 75. Then a bid of 50 w...

Bid is a proapoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, which on activation translocates to mitochondria and induces damage to the organelles. Activation of Bid depends on its proteolytic processing into truncated forms of tBid. Bid is highly expressed in the kidneys; however, little is known about its role in renal pathophysiology. In this study, we initially examined Bid activation in cultured rat kidney...

We present in this paper a new method for "ltering an image, based on a new de"nition of its entropy. A large number of examples illustrate the results. Comparisons are performed with other wavelet-based methods. 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
