We consider the problem of fairly allocating a bundle of infinitely divisible goods among a group of agents with “classical” preferences. We propose to measure an agent’s “sacrifice” at an allocation by the size of the set of feasible bundles that the agent prefers to her consumption. As a solution, we select the allocations at which sacrifices are equal across agents and this common sacrifice ...

Continuing with only clinically indicated circumcisions, I occasionally used the foreskin as a flap to cover degloved digits (anchoring the hand to the thigh with sutures and strapping it for a few days) and also as a free skin graft and in hypospadias repair. The foreskin was used most dramatically in scrotal elephantiasis. Here the mass is lifted by assistants and a tourniquet is wound severa...

In this paper, we provide a method to generate a perceptually appropriate dance motion for an input music sound track. Our solution extracts musical features from input music and searches for a sequence of perceptually correlated motion segments from a dance motion database. We suggest a set of mapping criteria as well as motion features which are necessary to perform the mapping from music to ...

Although the traditional loss-of-community thesis was not fully applicable, contemporary social forces may create a comparable effect. Future research might explore the relationship between place attachment and the role of personal mobility and connectivity. It is likely...

Previous typologies of male batterers, including typologies developed by means of rational-deductive and empirical-inductive strategies, are reviewed. On the basis of this review, 3 descriptive dimensions (i.e., severity of marital violence, generality of the violence [toward the wife or toward others], and psychopathology/personality disorders) that consistently have been found to distinguish ...
