Modern information technologies make it possible to store, analyze, and trade unprecedented amounts of detailed about individuals. This has led public discussions on whether individuals' privacy should be better protected by restricting the amount or precision that is collected commercial institutions their participants. We contribute this discussion proposing a Bayesian approach measure loss i...

The short-term aggressive behavior of scleractinian corals from La Blanquilla Reef, Veracruz Reef System, Gulf of Mexico was determined. Unilateral aggression, bilateral aggression and indifference were observed through experimental interspecific encounters in situ, in aquarium conditions and through direct observation of natural encounters on the reef. Species were characterized as highly aggr...

Providing the solution to the debt and deficit problems of developed economies is too big a task. I doubt it is possible to offer general recipes that can apply to all industrial countries, despite the surprisingly common origins of the deficit problems documented by the Mussa and Masson paper in this conference. For example, while in most countries accumulated social security liabilities repre...

During the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea Oceanographic study (PG-GOOS) in autumn 2012, sampling of macrobenthos was undertaken in 31 stations in Hormozgan Province waters. Three samples were taken from each site using Van Veen grab. Effects of environmental variables on assemblages and distributions of macrobenthos were analyzed. A total of 5677 individuals of macrobenthos were counted being repres...

Using a new dataset on household purchases of personal computers (PCs), we document positive correlations between buyers’ incomes and the prices they pay for seemingly identical PCs. These results suggest that firms may be successful at separating the market and charging different prices to consumers with different levels of willingness to pay. We consider the implications of this kind of marke...
