We experimentally investigate the Jackson-Moselle (2002) model where legislators bargain over policy proposals and the allocation of private goods. Key comparative static predictions of the model hold with the introduction of private goods including “strange bedfellow” coalitions. Private goods help to secure legislative compromise and increase the likelihood of proposals passing, an outcome no...

value, a maternal BPb value of 10 pg/dl, as seen in Table 1, should not be exceeded. If no more than 5% of breast-feeding infants are to exceed the 10 pg/dI action level, then a maternal BPb <10 jig/dl is required. A sensitivity analysis using various IEUBK modeling runs shows that the infant body lead burden at birth, from in utero accumulation via maternal lead exposures, is mainly expressed ...

In 1952, Alan Turing published a seminal paper “The chemical basis of morphogenesis” [Turing, 1952]. His intriguing ideas influenced the thinking of theoretical biologists and scientists from many fields, successfully developed on the theoretical backgrounds [Murray, 1982; Ni & Tang, 2005; Satnoianu et al., 2000; Segel & Jackson, 1972; Szili & Tóth, 1997]. The Turing mechanism has been successf...
