Stiglitz (Econometrica 37 (1969) 382) shows income convergence in a many-agent Solow growth model with integrated capital markets (ICM). The many-agent Ramsey model (MARM) without ICM also gives income convergence. With a MARM, equal discount rates, and ICM, convergence of incomes (as opposed to product per capita) cannot occur. These results depend upon fixed saving propensities (Stiglitz) or ...

CRL submitted two systems for the Named Entity task . One of these (Basic) is an improved version of the CRL name recognizer developed in phase one of Tipster[1]. The second (AutoLearn) is a system which learns automatically from training data . The Basic system had approximatel y six man months of work in its original development . Improvements for MUC-6 were carried out by one graduate studen...

We point out that the correlation between folding times and σ = (T θ − T f)/T θ in protein-like heteropolymer models where T θ and T f are the collapse and folding transition temperatures was already established in 1993 before the other presumed equivalent criterion (folding times correlating with T f alone) was suggested. We argue that the folding times for these models show no useful correlat...

In this paper a 1-D model for the evolution of inelastic particles in a thermal bath is studied. We derive an equation for the evolution of the probability density of the particles in phase space. The analysis of the homogeneous equation is the main objective of this paper. The existence and uniqueness of this equation is addressed. Finally, we prove that the asymptotic behavior is governed by ...

We generalize the concept of the Wehrl entropy of quantum states which gives a basis–independent measure of their localization in phase space. We discuss the minimal values and the typical values of these Rényi–Wehrl entropies for pure states for spin systems. According to Lieb’s conjecture the minimal values are provided by the spin coherent states. Though Lieb’s conjecture remains unproven, w...

The recent progress on unquenched QCD simulations is critically reviewed. After some discussions on problems and subtleties in unquenched simulations, hadron spectra obtained from both quenched and unquenched simulations are compared among various gauge and quark actions. It is found that the Edinburgh plot does not agree in the continuum limit between Wilson and KS quark actions even in quench...

Future asymmetric ee ! (4S) B factories are being constructed to search for CP violation in B decays. It is hoped that a CP asymmetry may be observed in B{B 0 mixing in analogy with that found in neutral kaons. In this mixing measurement, B decays to CP eigenstates, such as the rare decay B ! KS, may provide information on the CKM angle sin(2 ). I discuss decay additional CP eigenstate branchin...

This contribution concerns three contributed papers that share the common feature of analysing fully(or almost fully-) reconstructed B decays coming from a sample of four million hadronic Z decays collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP. In the first paper 1, 404 charged and neutral B mesons decaying in standard modes are fully reconstructed and used to look for resonant structure in the Bπ± s...

We propose a novel black-box approach to reverse engineer the state model of software components. We assume that in different states, a component supports different subsets of its services and that the state of the component changes solely due to invocation of its services. To construct the state model of a component, we track the changes (if any) to its supported services that occur after invo...
