An essential component of the proof is the following lemma. LEMMA C. Given u subharmonic on F and f locally of type-Bi, let U be defined on G as the upper function of sup u(p). If U < + c, then U is f(p) =a subharmonic on G. A consequence of theorem B is that the classical theorem of Iversen may be extended to maps which are locally of type-Bl. Lemma C admits a number of applications to other p...

We investigate how diversity in individual responses to unwanted interactions affects the evolution of cooperation modeled as a 2-person prisoner's dilemma. We combine adaptive networks and evolutionary game theory, showing analytically how the coevolution of social dynamics, network dynamics, and behavioral differences benefit the entire community even though myopic individuals still act in th...

they are knowledgeable in the treatment of this population; they are often limited to hiring graduates withOUl experience to fill their funding requirements. As an educator and a former academic educator, we recognize the difficulties of teaching a clinical profession in an academic setting. It is imperative that we require students wishing to treat a specific population to gain clinical experi...

Often, several different algorithms can solve a certain practical problem. Sometimes, algorithms which are successful in solving one problem can solve other problems as well. How can we decide which of the original algorithms is the most promising – i.e., which is more probable to be able to solve other problem? In many cases, the simplest algorithms turns out to be the most successful. In this...

Homelessness and drug use often overlap and the harms of substance use are exacerbated by homelessness. Responding to the twin problems of homelessness and substance use is an important aspect of strategies to end homelessness. The introduction and development of ten year plans to end homelessness in North America heralds a new era of systemic responses to homelessness. Central to many of these...

The authors present a reconciliation of 3 distinct ways in which the research literature has defined overconfidence: (a) overestimation of one's actual performance, (b) overplacement of one's performance relative to others, and (c) excessive precision in one's beliefs. Experimental evidence shows that reversals of the first 2 (apparent underconfidence), when they occur, tend to be on different ...
