We study the perfect type-contingently public ex-post equilibrium (PTXE) of repeated games where players observe imperfect public signals of the actions played, and both the payoff functions and the map from actions to signal distributions depends on an unknown state. The PTXE payoffs when players are patient are determined by the solutions to a family of linear programming problems. Using this...

In the first edition of this journal, we published a paper reporting that fathers and grandfathers of children with autism were over-represented in the field of engineering. This result was interpreted as providing supporting evidence for the folk-psychology/folk-physics theory of autism. After carrying out further analyses on the same data, Jarrold and Routh found that fathers of children with...

Lepcha, Bhutia and Nepalis, three ethnic groups of Sikkim practicing traditional medicines have a strong belief of different supernatural forces and deities. The study is an attempt to focus on the beliefs, practices and prospects of folk healers of Sikkim. The study was conducted in whole Sikkim and the data were collected by the field survey and personal interviews of 102 identified folk heal...

We report folk veterinary phytotherapy in Italy collected from ethnobotanical scientific literature of the second half of the 20th Century. References are cited together with unpublished data gathered recently in the field by the authors. The data have been placed in two databases: one organized by the names of the plant species (> 260) and the other organized by bibliographic references. This ...

This paper describes both a newly developed method for manual annotation for aspects of melodic similarity and its use for evaluating melody features concerning their contribution to perceived similarity. The second issue is also addressed with a computational evaluation method. These approaches are applied to a corpus of folk song melodies. We show that classification of melodies could not be ...

To what extent do self-deception and delusion overlap? In this paper we argue that both self-deception and delusions can be understood in folk-psychological terms. "Motivated" delusions, just like self-deception, can be described as beliefs driven by personal interests. If self-deception can be understood folk-psychologically because of its motivational component, so can motivated delusions. No...

This paper investigates a novel statistical approach to music classification that utilizes recent technology developed in the domain of natural language processing. Specifically, we investigate the use of factored language models (FLMs) for the task of producing conditional probability distributions to model origin-specific folk songs. In our model, pitch cluster and quantized duration are empl...

Cinnamon is one of the most important herbal drugs and has been widely used in Asia for more than 4000 years. As a folk medicine, cinnamon has been traditionally applied to the treatment of inflammatory disorders and gastric diseases. After chemical profiling of cinnamon's components, their biological activities including antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, antitumor, antihypertension, antil...

The present paper provides a limit characterization of the payoff set supported by belief-free equilibria in repeated games with private monitoring, as the discount factor approaches one and the noise on private information vanishes. Contrary to the conjecture by Ely, Hörner, and Olszewski (2005), in many of the three-or-more player games, the payoff set is given by a union of product sets, as ...
