Article history: Received 6 January 2007 Received in revised form 6 February 2008 Accepted 26 February 2008 Available online 6 March 2008 We study reputations with imperfect audit and a reputation market. The main result shows the existence of a separating equilibrium in the reputation market, which contrasts with Tadelis [Tadelis, S., 2002, The market for reputations as an incentive mechanism,...

;its minimal faithful permutation and matrix representation degrees are respectively 97 239 461 142 009 186 000 and 196 882. This makes it far harder to work with than the 25 smaller sporadics. In Section 3, we describe techniques which allow limited computation in the Monster. In Section 4, we describe our experiments to assess the effectiveness of combining these techniques with a suitable ve...

Although remarriage is a relatively common transition, little is known about how nonresident fathers affect divorced mothers' entry into remarriage. Using the 1979-2010 rounds of the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1979, the authors examined the likelihood of remarriage for divorced mothers (N = 882) by nonresident father contact with children and payment of child support. The findings sug...

Antibody responses for 882 of the 1,039 proteins in the proteome of Treponema pallidum were examined. Sera collected from infected rabbits were used to systematically identify 106 antigenic proteins, including 22 previously identified antigens and 84 novel antigens. Additionally, sera collected from rabbits throughout the course of infection demonstrated a progression in the breadth and intensi...

In I 882 Shepherd reported three cases of fracture of the posterior process of the talus, which he had found while working in the dissecting room. In each case the fragment of hone consisted of the posterior part of the tubercle of the talus lateral to the groove for the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus, and had attached to it the posterior fasciculus of the lateral ligament of the ankle jo...

The first room temperature stable tunable color center (CC) distributed feedback (DFB) laser is described. The laser utilizes stabilized F2 +** centers in LiF (LiF:F2 ) as a gain medium. Tunable DFB lasing was achieved in the near IR region (882 962 nm) with a lasing linewidth of less than 0.2 cm. The lasing threshold was found to be 1.2 mJ, while the slope efficiency with respect to pump energ...
