Is there a causal connection between house prices and labor force participation of married women? The simple correlation between house prices and married women’s labor force participation across U.S. metro areas is positive. Plausible, informal arguments have been advanced to support causation in either direction: prices raising participation (negative income effects of higher house prices lead...

Galeotti et al. (2006, [2]) show that all minimal networks can be strict Nash in two-way flow models with full parameter heterogeneity while only inward pointing stars and the empty network can be strict Nash in the homogeneous parameter model of Bala and Goyal (2000, [1]). In this note we show that the introduction of partner heterogeneity plays a major role in substantially increasing the set...

This study investigated a small subset of the two community water-disinfection systems--hypochlorinators and tablet feeders-in rural Honduras. Levels of residual chlorine were assessed at three locations within the distribution system: the tank, the proximal house, and the distal house. The levels of residual chlorine were compared with the standard guidelines set by the Pan American Health Org...

Let G be the adjoint group of a simple Lie algebra g, and let KC ! Aut(pC) be the complexi ed isotropy representation at the identity coset of the corresponding symmetric space. If e 2 pC is nilpotent, we consider the centralizer of e in KC. We show that the conjugacy classes of the component group of this centralizer can be described in terms generalizing the Bala-Carter classi cation of nilpo...

Although house prices and airports are influenced by distinct factors that shape their evolutions, they also intrinsically connected through the natural built environment. Standard theory suggests air-traffic noise proximity to key economic hubs such as of prime importance housing market. This study contributes understanding link between market, airport location air traffic. The research invest...

This paper proposes a location-aware system for household robots which allows users to paste predefined paper tags at different locations according to users’ comprehension of the house. In this system a household robot may be aware of its location and the attributes thereof by visually recognizing the tags when the robot is moving. This paper also presents a novel user interface to define a mov...

Side-view face recognition is a challenging problem with many applications. Especially in real-life scenarios where the environment is uncontrolled, coping with pose variations up to side-view positions is an important task for face recognition. In this paper we discuss the use of side view face recognition techniques to be used in house safety applications. Our aim is to recognize people as th...
