We model alternating-announcements cheap talk, while discussing the efficiency consequences of explicitly allowing the ‘no-agreement’ outcome of the game with communication to vary with players’ cheap talk announcements. Our results give further consistency to the argument that a cheap talk extension does not necessarily imply efficiency in the play of the original game. Moreover, we characteri...

We introduce the notion of weak subnormality, which generalizes subnormality in the sense that for the extension b T ∈ L(K) of T ∈ L(H) we only require that b T ∗ b Tf = b T b T ∗f hold for f ∈ H; in this case we call b T a partially normal extension of T . After establishing some basic results about weak subnormality (including those dealing with the notion of minimal partially normal extensio...

Milestones like the centennial of the Cooperative Extension system are significant in any organization. Milestones measure progress along a path, but can also give reassurances that travelers are on the right track. As Extension moves into the next century, we must continuously ask ourselves if it is focused and on the right path. What are some guiding principles that we need to follow? What ar...

A multiple-valued function f : X → QQ(Y ) is essentially a rule assigning Q unordered and non necessarily distinct elements of Y to each element of X. We study the Lipschitz extension problem in this context by using two general Lipschitz extension theorems recently proved by U. Lang and T. Schlichenmaier. We prove that the pair ` X,QQ(Y ) ́ has the Lipschitz extension property if Y is a Banach ...

this qualitative study presents women’s perceptions of domestic violence and their coping strategies based on self-narratives collected from a small sample in iran. by limiting women’s access to life opportunities, domestic violence is a major obstacle to social, economic, and political equity and by extension to development. violence against women goes beyond being a personal or a private issu...
