This paper introduces a new solution concept for non-cooperative games in normal form with no ties and with pure strategies: the Perfectly Transparent Equilibrium. The players are assumed to be Perfect Predictors, in the sense that their predictions are correct in all possible worlds. Concretely, this means that a player’s decision is perfectly correlated with its anticipation by other players,...

BACKGROUND Full field and pattern electroretinograms (ERG, PERG) are performed to assess generalised retinal function and macular function, respectively. An (electro) negative full field ERG usually describes an ISCEV standard maximal response in which the b-wave is smaller than a normal or minimally reduced a-wave and indicates dysfunction that is post-phototransduction. The most common cause ...

Site preparation for restoration of peat-mined bogs in eastern Canada frequently involves the construction of bunds or shallow basins to enhance peat moisture content. As a consequence, Sphagnum reintroduced within restored areas may be subjected to extended periods of flooding, particularly following snow melt or heavy rainfall. This paper examines two aspects of the effect of flooding on grow...

PURPOSE Although mutated G11778A NADH ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit 4 (ND4) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is firmly linked to the blindness of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), a bona fide animal model system with mutated mtDNA complex I subunits that would enable probing the pathogenesis of optic neuropathy and testing potential avenues for therapy has yet to be developed. METHODS Th...

radiculopathy caused by lipoma, patient with multiple congenital skeletal anomalies and intrathoracic lipomas. Sir: We describe the clinical and electro-physiological findings in a patient with papillitis associated with coxsackie B5 viral infection. Reports of proven coxsackie B papillitis are rare and in this case the electrodiagnostic studies provide interesting evidence ofthe site of the vi...

Pureose: In a lot of patients an objectivization of visual field defects is needed. The commonly used VEPs (pattern-reversal, pattern-onset/offset) are not helpful because of their considerable amplitude reduction outside the macula. In contrast the motion-onset VEPs that can be obtained beyond the central 40 " of the vtsual field without significant amplitude reduction (Kuba, M. and Kubova, 2....

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are frequent in adolescence and contribute to the inc rease in the number of AIDS cases. E a rly sexual initiation, multiple sex part n e r s , and lack of condom use are considered risk factors and a re influenced by a male-dominated gender s y s t e m . We interv i ewed 356 adolescent patients at the Adolescent Health Re s e a rch Ce nter in Rio de Ja n e ...
