We conduct a two-phase laboratory experiment, separated by several weeks. In the first phase, we conduct urn games intended to measure ambiguity aversion on a representative population of undergraduate students. In the second phase, we invite the students back with four different solicitation treatments, varying in the ambiguity of information regarding the task and the payout of the laboratory...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine correlations between measurement time and different expansibility of the elastic tape on the rectus femoris and body sway index with plyometric exercise. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects of this study were 24 healthy men. C90 area, C90 angle, trace length, sway average velocity for body sway index were measured using a force plate by BT4. Th...

In an experimental 2x2 coordination game with two strict equilibria we observe that, in contrast to equilibrium selection theory (Harsanyi and Selten 1988), only half of the subjects choose the strategy that relates to the payoffand risk-dominant equilibrium. We propose modified risk dominance as an explanation for the observed deviations from payoff and risk dominance. JEL classification: C72,...

In this contribution we report benchmark results obtained with the EuroBen Benchmark version 3.0. Results for one CPU are presented. To add some perspective, we occasionally compare some of the results with those obtained on Cray systems (Y-MP and C90), NEC systems (SX-3/12 and /14), and a Siemens-Nixdorf S200.

We compare ultimatum game results elicited using the strategy vector method against results from sequential decision protocol and recommended play treatments. We find little difference between these methods. This result has implications for the innateness of “otherregarding behavior” and experimental methods. JEL classification: C90

Economists have recently adopted pre-analysis plans in response to concerns about robustness and transparency research. The increased use of registered has raised competing that detailed are costly create, overly restrictive, limit the type inspiration stems from exploratory analysis. We consider these views plans, make a careful distinction between roles registries, which provide record all pl...

Raman spectroscopy is promising in vivo tool various biomedical applications; moreover, recent years, its use for characterizing articular cartilage degeneration has been developing. It also shown potential scoring the severity of lesions, which could be useful determining optimal treatment strategy during repair surgery. However, effect different injury types on spectra unknown. This study aim...

Initially, my work involved understanding and characterizing electromagnetics applications performance on the variety of message-passing, shared memory and vector high performance supercomputers, including IBM-SP2, Origin 2000, and Cray C90. The goal of that work was to identify the causes of degradations in delivered performance, and to restructure the application codes and their data structur...
