description: This paper characterizes the testable implications of stability for aggregate matchings.  We consider data on matchings where individuals are aggregated, based on their observable characteristics, into types, and we know how many agents of each type match.  We derive stability conditions for an aggregate matching, and, based on these, provide a simple necessary and sufficient condition for an observed aggregate matching to be rationalizable (i.e. such that preferences can be found so that the observed aggregate matching is stable). Subsequently, we derive moment inequalities based on the stability conditions, and provide an empirical illustration using the cross-sectional marriage distributions across the US states.

Emperor Giant Rat
Uromys imperator
French: Uromys empereur / German: Kaiserriesenratte / Spanish: Rata gigante emperador
Other common names: Emperor Rat, Emperor Uromys
Taxonomy. Mus imperator Thomas, 1888,
“Aola, Guadalcanar [= Guadalcanal Island] ... Solomon Islands. ”
Within Uromys, U. imperator is included in subgenus Cyromys along with the other two Guadalcanal species, namely U. porculus and U. rex. Monotypic.
Distribution. Guadalcanal I, Solomon Is.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 340-350 mm, tail 250-258 mm, ear 19-20 mm, hindfoot 64-66 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. The Emperor Giant Ratis a very large species of Uromys similar to the King Giant Rat (U. rex), from which it is distinguished by its shorter tail and its larger size. Pelage is short and woolly to the touch but looks wiry. Dorsal pelage is dark grizzled ash gray, and ventral pelage is white. Feet are broad and naked. Ears are short and silvery pink; vibrissae are long, and black or white. Tail is relatively long (73% of head-body length) and blackish brown. Skull is similarto that of the King Giant Rat, but not so deep. There are two pairs of mammae, both inguinal.
Habitat. Found near the coast in the dry northern lowlands of the island, but it has been suggested that it has been restricted to mossy montane forests.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. No information.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) on The [UCN Red List. The Emperor Giant Rat is known only from the three original specimens collected between 1886 and 1888, and is possibly extinct. Another specimen exists just as a skin and may represent this species, but it may also represent the King Giant Rat. Although the exact reason for the Emperor Giant Rat’s decline and pos- sible extinction is unknown, overhunting and loss of suitable habitat, or competition, predation, and disease transmission from introduced species may have played varying roles in it. Terrestrial habits may have been the downfall of the species, in contrast to the more recently seen King Giant Rat. Further surveys are needed in order to confirm its continued existence on the island.

Adelphothrips

description: Adelphothrips Priesner
(Fig. 118)
Adelphothrips Priesner, 1953: 374. Type species: Gynaikothrips tristis Karny, by original designation.
No species of this genus is recorded from China, but two are described from Java, one from the Philippines, and one from Fiji. The holotype and paratype females of longisetosus Reyes have been studied (in ANIC), and antennal segment IV has three sensoria not two as given in the original description (Reyes 1994). This genus belongs to the Liothrips- lineage, in which antennal segments III–IV have one and three sensoria respectively, and the prosternum lacks basantra, but in contrast to most species in that group the species of Adelphothrips have two pairs of equally well developed postocular setae (Fig. 118). Another species from the Philippines, Adelphothrips ignotus (Reyes) comb.n., is here transferred from Mesothrips because it has the character states typical of Liothrips- lineage. The only known specimen of ignotus (in ANIC), a male with expanded fore femora but no fore tarsal tooth, has the notopleural suture slightly incomplete on the right side, but complete on the left, and the metathoracic sternopleural sutures are well-developed.
Diagnosis: Head with cheeks slightly or distinctly narrowed at base; 2 pairs of postocular setae welldeveloped, one pair well posterior to the other (Fig. 118); stylets usually about 1/3 of head width apart, retracted to postocular setae; antennae 8-segmented, III with 1 sensorium, IV with 3; pronotum with 5 pairs of well-developed setae, notopleural sutures incomplete or complete; basantra absent; mesopresternum transverse, sometimes narrow medially; sternopleural sutures absent or present; fore tarsal tooth absent in both sexes; fore wings parallel-sided, with duplicated cilia; pelta triangular; tergites II–VII with 2 pairs of wing-retaining setae; tube with straight sides, slightly shorter than head.

Strongylophthalmyia punctata

description: The Strongylophthalmyia punctata subgroup
Roughly half of the described species in Strongylophthalmyia belong to Shatalkin’s (1996) “ punctata group” of species (males possessing a dorsal antennal process) and the distribution of that group appears to be restricted to the Oriental Region. A subset of that group, the punctata subgroup, characterized by the presence of spines on the fore femur, appears to have two clusters of species: (1) those species with a long and conspicuous dorsal antennal process (called here the punctata cohort); and (2) those species with only a small bump or a small thin, pointed dorsal antennal process (the microstyla cohort). Additionally, species in the punctata subgroup appear to be even further restricted in distribution to just SE Asian countries and adjacent islands to the east (see Fig. 107). Few studies have been conducted in areas of subtropical to tropical southern China (I have only located seven specimens belonging to four species in the genus from these areas) and, given the current known distribution elsewhere, it can be logically assumed that further more rigorous collecting in forested areas should find species of this subgroup occurring in southern, southwestern, and eastern China, including potentially undescribed ones.

Clearinghouses for Two-Sided Matching: An Experimental Study

description: We study the performance of two-sided matching clearinghouses in the laboratory.  Our experimental design mimics the Gale-Shapley (1962) mechanism, utilized to match hospitals and interns, schools and pupils, etc., with an array of preference profiles. Several insights come out of our analysis. First, only 48% of the observed match outcomes are fully stable. Furthermore, among those markets ending at a stable outcome, a large majority culminates in the best stable matching for the receiving-side. Second, contrary to the theory, participants on the receiving-side of the algorithm rarely truncate their true preferences. In fact, it is the proposers who do not make offers in order of their preference, frequently skipping potential partners. Third, market characteristics affect behavior and outcomes: both the cardinal representation and the span of the core influence whether outcomes are stable or close to stable, as well as the number of turns it takes markets to converge to the final outcome.

Testable implications

description: We study when two-member household choice behavior is compatible with Pareto optimality. We ask when an external observer of household choices, who does not know the individuals' preferences, can rationalize the choices as being Pareto-optimal. Our main contribution is to reduce the problem of rationalization to a graph-coloring problem.  As a result, we obtain simple tests for Pareto optimal choice behavior. In addition to the tests, and using our graph-theoretic representation, we show that Pareto rationalization is equivalent to a system of quadratic equations being solvable.

(Figs 6–11)
Small-sized Phlaeothripinae with unusually short maxillary stylets; body surface weakly sculptured; head longer than wide, cheeks incut just behind eyes (Fig. 6); eyes equally developed on dorsal and ventral surfaces, all ommatidia of equal size; postocular setae well-developed; stylets wide apart, V-shaped, not retracted anterior to postoccipital ridge (Figs 6, 8); antennae 8-segmented, VIII fused to VII but with weakly complete suture (Fig. 11), III with 3 slender sensoria, IV with 4, V and VI each with 2 similar sensoria; pronotum with 5 pairs of capitate setae, notopleural sutures complete; basantra present in male, weak in female; mesopresternum divided into three sclerites, median sclerite with pair of setae (Fig. 8); sternopleural sutures absent; fore tarsal tooth present in both sexes; fore wings constricted medially, with duplicated cilia (Fig. 7); pelta slightly hat-shaped (Fig. 9); tergites II–VII with 2 pairs of wing-retaining setae; tergite IX with setae S1 and S2 of female expanded at apex; tube with straight sides, shorter than head; male tergite IX setae S2 short and stout (Fig. 10), sternite VIII without pore plate. Type species: Akarethrips iotus sp.n.
Comments. This new genus shares character states of the fore wing and prosternum with genera of the Haplothripini. Amongst the genera of that tribe in which species have three sensoria on the third segment (Mound & Minaei 2007; Minaei et al. 2007) it is distinguished by the exceptionally short maxillary stylets that are scarcely retracted into the head.

Guadalcanal Giant Rat
Uromys porculus
French: Uromys de Guadalcanal / German: Guadalcanal-Riesenratte / Spanish: Rata gigante de Guadalcanal
Other common names: Gaudalcanal Rat, Guadalcanal Uromys
Taxonomy. Uromys porculus Thomas, 1904,
“Aola, Guadalcanar [= Guadalcanal Is- land], Solomon Islands.”
Within Uromys, U. porculus in included in subgenus Cyromys along with the other two Guadalcanal species, namely U. imperator and U. rex. Monotypic. Distribution. Guadalcanal I, Solomon Is. Descriptive notes. Head-body 220 mm, tail 130 mm, ear 19 mm, hindfoot 43 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. The Guadalcanal Giant Rat is the second smallest species in the distinctive genus Uromys. Pelage is short and soft, with longer bristly guard hairs. Dorsal pelage is reddish brown, being browner near head, redder near rump, and grayer as it fades to ventral pelage on the side; ventral pelage is grayish white with grayunderfur. Feet are very broad and of a dull white coloration. Ears are very small and rounded; vibrissae are long. Tail is very short (59% of head-body length), naked, has fine scaling, and is monocolored black. Skull is longer and narrower than that of the King Giant Rat (U. rex), and with narrower molars than in the Emperor Giant Rat (U. imperator).
Habitat. Probably lowland tropical forests.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. No information.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Critically Endangered on The IUCN Red List. The Guadalcanal Giant Ratis still known only from the holotype collected sometime between 1886 and 1888, and is possibly extinct. A sighting potentially of this species was made in November 1989, but this probably represented a species of Melomys similar to the Bougainville Mosaic-tailed Rat (M. bougainville), since it was climbing in canes and not terrestrial. The reason for the Guadalcanal Giant Rat’s decline and possible extinction are unknown, but it may have involved a number of factors, including overhunting and loss ofsuitable habitat, or competition, predation, and disease transmission from introduced species. Further surveys are needed to confirm its continued existence on the island.

description: We study the problem of uncertainty sharing within a household: "risk sharing," in a context of Knightian uncertainty. A household shares uncertain prospects using a social welfare function. We characterize the social welfare functions such that the household is collectively less averse to uncertainty than each member, and satises the Pareto principle and an independence axiom. We single out the sum of certainty equivalents as the unique member of this family which provides quasiconcave rankings over risk-free allocations.

description: A decision maker faces a new theory of how certain events unfold over time. The theory matters for choices she needs to make, but possibly the theory is a fabrication.  We show that there is a test which is guaranteed to pass a true theory, and which is also conservative: A false theory will only pass when adopting it over the decision maker's initial theory would not cause substantial harm; if the agent is fooled she will not be harmed.

We also study a society of conservative decision makers with different initial theories.  We uncover pathological instances of our test: a society collectively rejects most theories, be they true or false. But we also find well-behaved instances of our test, collectively accepting true theories and rejecting false. Our tests builds on tests studied in the literature in the context of non-strategic inspectors.

A Test for Monotone Comparative Statics

Subjects: Econometrics of Games, Monotone Comparative Statics, Quantile Regression, Multiple Equilibria

description: In this paper we design an econometric test for monotone comparative statics (MCS) often found in models with multiple equilibria. Our test exploits the observable implications of the MCS prediction: that the extreme (high and low) conditional quantiles of the dependent variable increase monotonically with the explanatory variable. The main contribution of the paper is to derive a likelihood-ratio test, which to the best of our knowledge, is the first econometric test of MCS proposed in the literature. The test is an asymptotic "chi-bar squared" test for order restrictions on intermediate conditional quantiles. The key features of our approach are: (1) it does not require estimating the underlying nonparametric model relating the dependent and explanatory variables to the latent disturbances; (2) it makes few assumptions on the cardinality, location or probabilities over equilibria. In particular, one can implement our test without assuming an equilibrium selection rule.

static analysis

description: This package contains results of verifying two sets of programs using a fork of the static software verification framework CPAchecker. The static program analysis based on Symbolic Memory Graphs (SMG) was adapted to be used in conjunction with Block Abstraction Memoization (BAM) technique on summarization of procedures.

The evaluated version of CPAchecker is included in the archive, but also can be found at the ISP RAS fork of the tool, branch smg-bam, exact commit 6bf750a3.

One set is the subset of the CPAchecker integration tests. The result table (integration-tests.html), log-files and benchmark.xml are present in the archive. The programs can be found at in the repository above.

The other set consists of Linux 5.10.210 USB and NET drivers. The sources were prepared for verification by Klever. The prepared modules, result tables, log-files and benchmark.xml are included. The drivers are divided in three subsets by result produced by Klever using the baseline CPAchecker analysis (those verdicts can be wrong).

To see the logs, use the HTML tables in the archive (although they are named with dates). The archive also contains the diff tables and all tables as CSV. To reproduce the results, see README files for CPAchecker.

Alerothrips

description: Alerothrips Bhatti *
Alerothrips Bhatti, 1995: 98. Type species: Neurothrips indicus Ananthakrishnan, by monotypy.
Three species are included in this genus, two from Thailand, and one from India. The genus is similar to Neurothrips in having a slender tube and remarkably long anal setae, and these character states are also shared with urothripine taxa. Alerothrips is distinguished from Neurothrips by the presence of only two, instead of three, pairs of slightly flattened, simple to broad tergal wing-retaining setae (Okajima 1997). The genus is listed here in the Amphibolothrips genus-group with the urothripines (Table 1), although it is also similar to Azaleothrips in head shape, the shape and position of postocular setae, and the presence of a pore plate on male sternite VIII.
Diagnosis: Head as long as wide or a little longer, dorsal surface reticulate or with tubercles; cheeks strongly constricted basally; postocular setae short but expanded at apex, arising behind inner margin of eyes; stylets retracted to eyes, close together medially; antennae 8-segmented, segments VI–VIII widely fused, III with 2 or 3 sensoria, IV with 2, 3 or 4; pronotum with major setae short and expanded at apex, notopleural sutures reduced; basantra absent; sternopleural sutures present; fore tarsal tooth present in both sexes; fore wings with or without duplicated cilia; pelta hat-shaped; tergites II–VII with 2 pairs of simple to broad wing-retaining setae; tergite IX with S1 and S2 short; tube parallel-sided, slender, shorter than head, anal setae about 4 times as long as tube; male sternite VIII with pore plate.

The Economics of Social Networks
Creators: name: Jackson, Matthew O.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology

Subjects: Networks, Social Networks, Network Games, Network Formation, Game Theory

description: The science of social networks is a central field of sociological study, a major application of random graph theory, and an emerging area of study by economists, statistical
physicists and computer scientists. While these literatures are (slowly) becoming aware
of each other, and on occasion drawing from one another, they are still largely distinct in
their methods, interests, and goals. Here, my aim is to provide some perspective on the
research from these literatures, with a focus on the formal modeling of social networks
and the two major types of models: those based on random graphs and those based on
game theoretic reasoning. I highlight some of the strengths, weaknesses, and potential
synergies between these two network modeling approaches.

title: Effects of Radiative Interactions in Molecular Gases Under Local and Nonlocal Thermodynamic Equilibrium Conditions

description: Basic formulations, analyses, and numerical procedures are presented to investigate radiative heat interactions in diatomic and polyatomic gases under local and nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium conditions. Essential governing equations are presented for both gray and nongray gases. Information is provided on absorption models, relaxation times, and transfer equations. Radiative flux equations are developed which are applicable under local and nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium conditions.

The problem is solved for fully developed laminar incompressible flows between two parallel plates under the boundary condition of a uniform surface heat flux. For specific applications, three diatomic and three polyatomic gases are considered. The results are obtained numerically by employing the method of variation of parameters. The results are compared under local and nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium conditions at different temperature and pressure conditions. Both gray and nongray studies are conducted extensively for all molecular gases considered. The particular gases selected for this investigation are, CO, NO, OH, CO2, H20, and CH4. The temperature and pressure range considered are 300-2000 K and 0.1-10 atmosphere, respectively. In general, results demonstrate that the gray gas approximation overestimates the effect of radiative interaction for all conditions. The conditions of NLTE, however, result in underestimation of radiative interactions. The method developed for this study can be extended to solve complex problems of radiative heat transfer involving nonequilibrium phenomena.

King Giant Rat
Uromys rex
French: Uromys roi / German: Konigsriesenratte / Spanish: Rata gigante real
Other common names: King Rat, King Uromys
Taxonomy. Mus rex Thomas, 1888,
“Aola, Guadacanar [= Guadalcanal Island] Solomon Islands.”
Within Uromys, U. rexis included in subgenus Cyromys along with the other two Guadalcanal species, namely U. imperator and U. porculus. Monotypic.
Distribution. Guadalcanal I, Solomon Is.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 257-290 mm, tail 232-296 mm, ear 16-20 mm, hindfoot 50-55 mm; weight 420 g. The
King Giant Rat is a mid-sized to large species of Uromys similar to the Emperor Giant Rat (U. imperator), from which it is distinguished by its longer, roughertail with larger scales and its smaller size. Pelage is short and woolly to the touch, but looks wiry. Dorsal pelage is dark grizzled ash gray, and ventral pelage is white. Feet are broad and naked. Ears are short and silvery pink; vibrissae are long, and black or white. Tail is relatively long (90-105% of head-body length) and blackish brown. Skull is broad with a broad and deep rostrum, in contrast to the Emperor Giant Rat. There are two pairs of mammae, both inguinal.
Habitat. Primary tropical moist forest such as relict patches of native forest, at elevations of 20-600 m.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. The King Giant Rat is arboreal, the only certain arboreal species of Uromys on Guadalcanal. It has been encountered around dusk.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List. The King Giant Rat is known from very few specimens and is considered rare and declining throughout its range. It is threatened by habitat loss from agricultural expansion and logging. This species is apparently the most common of the three Guadalcanal Uromys species, and it was able to survive perhaps because ofits arboreal habits, while the Emperor Giant Rat may have become extinct, or at least highly diminished, because of its probable terrestrial habits. Further research is needed in order fully to understand this species’ natural history and evolution, and any threats facing it.

Art and psychoanalysis register at the White Hotel
Creators: name: Ende, Stuart A.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1986

description: My title refers to the fact that in D. M. Thomas's remarkable
novel, both art, in the form of literary imagination, and
psychoanalysis seek to comprehend the life of a woman named Lisa
Erdman, and both register certain truths or part truths. The novel
traces Lisa's life from the time she enters analysis with Freud in
Vienna until her death at Babi Yar at the hands of the Nazis. In a
final chapter entitled "the camp" that has troubled many readers we
witness a kind of apotheosis in which Lisa and most of the characters we
have met survive their own deaths. Most readers find The White Hotel
to be a brilliant treatment of human aggression, which it certainly is;
and an equally brilliant portrait of Freud, who is presented in his
role as the man who first unlocked the secrets of hysteria. But the
landscape of hysteria, which is the terrain of the novel, is also the
landscape of imagination, and so there is a basic opposition between
art and psychoanalysis from the outset.

Explanations reconsidered
Creators: name: Curren, Randall R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1987

description: Edna Ullmann-Margalit .introduced the notion of an invisiblehand
explanation (I-H explanation) to the philosophical literature
in 1978, and made a distinction between "aggregate" and
"functional-evolutionary" (F-E) forms of I -H explanations. The
present paper produces a substantially refined analysis of the
forms and functions of I-H explanations. Sections (1) and (2)
introduce the ideas of I-H and aggregate I-H explanation, respectively.
Section (J) argues that no one form of explanation can
serve the explanatory fUnctions Ullmann-Margalit attributes to
aggregate explanations, and divides those explanatory functions
between genetic and "systematic-dispositional" explanations.
Section (4) identifies difficulties with the idea of F-E explanation
in the social realm, and shows that any I-H explanations
fitting the P-E mold would constitute simply a special class of
"aggregate" explanation.
