We study how norms can solve distributional conflict inside a clan and the efficient coordination of collective action in a conflict with an external enemy. We characterize a fully non-cooperative equilibrium in a finite game in which a self-enforcing norm coordinates the members on efficient collective action and on a peaceful distribution of the returns of collective action.

The purpose of this paper is to construct perfect samplers for length-interacting Arak–Clifford–Surgailis polygonal Markov fields in the plane with nodes of order 2 (V-shaped nodes). This is achieved by providing for the polygonal fields a hard core marked point process representation with individual points carrying polygonal loops as their marks, so that the coupling from the past and clan of ...

Abstract Background The identification of protein families is outstanding practical importance for in silico annotation and at the basis several bioinformatic resources. Pfam possibly most well known family database, built many years work by domain experts with extensive use manual curation. This approach generally very accurate, but it quite time consuming may suffer from a bias generated hand...

Virtual Interface Architecture(VIA) is a light-weight protocol for protected user-level zero-copy communication. In spite of the promised high performance of VIA, previous MPI implementations for GigaNet’s cLAN revealed low communication performance. Two main sources of such low performance are the discrepancy in the communication model between MPI and VIA and the multi-threading overhead. In t...
