A nation’s savings matters. Money set aside from today’s consumption can be invested, through financial markets, in productive assets embodying the latest innovations. A newer and better capital stock can provide the fuel to sustain higher rates of growth and improve living standards. In a nutshell, that’s the current view of many economists, one that places savings among the most important pil...

The problem of static equilibrium in residential location choice is highly complex given its non-linearity and the lack of continuity produced by the set of discrete choices. The problem must take into consideration location externalities associated with the consumers’ valuation of neighborhood quality and agglomeration economies, and the assumption of a bid-auction land market. The introductio...

Softness is an important source of information when interacting with remote or virtual environments (VE) via a haptic human-machine-interface. For example, in telesurgery where the surgeon operates a human-machine interface transmitting his/her actions to a robot performing actions inside the human body, tissue softness can indicate a healthy or non-healthy condition (De Gersem, 2005). Humans h...

The sexual pattern, reproductive mode, and timing of reproduction of Isophyllia sinuosa and Isophyllia rigida, two Caribbean Mussids, were assessed by histological analysis of specimens collected monthly during 2000-2001. Both species are simultaneous hermaphroditic brooders characterized by a single annual gametogenetic cycle. Spermatocytes and oocytes of different stages were found to develop...

Quality is defined as being skewed when the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) between quantity and quality differs from the marginal rate of transformation (MRT). This definition is used to assess the balance of quality and quantity in each variety of good produced by a monopolist using non-linear pricing, where each variety can be differentiated using both quantity and quality. A variety’s d...

Field computation deals with information processing in terms of elds continuous distributions of data Many neural phenomena are conveniently described as elds including neuron activity from large brain area to small dendritic scales Further it is often useful to describe motor control and sensorimotor coordination in terms of ex ternal elds such as force elds and sensory images We survey the ba...
