This paper proposes and estimates a static non-parametric transferable utility model of the marriage market. The model rationalizes the standard interpretation of marriage rate regressions as well as pointing out its limitations. The model was used to estimate US marital behavior in 1971/72 and 1981/82. The estimates show that the gains to marriage for young adults fell substantially over the d...

Spin and spatial tensor manipulations are frequently required to describe the theory of NMR experiments. A Mathematica package is presented here, which provides some of the most common functions for these calculations. Examples are the calculation of matrix representations of operators, commutators, projections, rotations, Redfield matrix elements, matrix decomposition into basis operators, cha...

We give a classification theorem for a class of C*-algebras which are direct limits of finite direct sums of E0-algebras. The invariant consists of the following: (1) the set of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of projections; (2) the set of homotopy classes of hyponormal partial isometries; (3) a map d; and (4) total K-theory.

あらまし 本論文では二つの特徴空間の写像を学習する確率的線形回帰混合モデル(MPLR)を提案する。MPLRは 複数の確率的線形回帰モデルを重み付きで混合することで構成されており、そのパラメータは行列計算によって推定 可能である。MPLRは混合モデルであるため、非線形写像を取り扱う事ができる。またMPLRは一般化された定式 化であるため、確率密度として特定のモデルを要求しない。よく知られている GMMを用いた音声変換法 [1], [2]は MPLRの特別な場合と解釈でき、MPLRによる一般化によって、GMMに基づく音声変換法を改良することが可能と なる。[1]に対しては、MPLR の定式化を用いることで、複雑な一次方程式の解探索を避け、より高速なパラメータ推 定が可能になる。更にMPLRは [2]に存在する暗黙の問題を解決する事ができる。我々は音声変換タスクで提案手法 と従来のGMM法...

Nociception, the sensory mechanism that allows animals to sense and avoid potentially tissue-damaging stimuli, is critical for survival. This process relies on nociceptors, which are specialized neurons that detect and respond to potentially damaging forms of energy - heat, mechanical and chemical - in the environment. Nociceptors accomplish this task through the expression of molecules that fu...

The social dimensions of family-peer linkages of 4- to 6-year-old children (N=63) with developmental delays (IQ range, 50-80) were examined in this study. Hierarchical regressions revealed consistent and meaningful patterns of association relating children's influence attempts directed toward their mothers and their interactions with peers. A similar association with peer interactions was found...

One of the criteria generally applied in distinguishing lexical processes from syntactic ones is compositionality: the standard assumption is that syntactic processes have transparent (compositional) semantics while word-formation is semantically opaque. In this paper I will argue that this assumption is false: certain processes which are generally held to be syntactic are compositional only to...

It is not always clear that some equations affected by complicated factors can, actually, be interpreted as a ratio of two polynomials of first degree and so that they can be, in general, represented by rectangular hyperbolas. In this paper we present an easy procedure to rearrange those equations into Michaelis-Menten-type equations and so to make the aspects of these rectangular hyperbolas mo...
