description: Raman spectroscopy enables the non-destructive characterization of chemical composition, crystallinity, defects, or strain in countless materials. However, the Raman response of surfaces or thin films is often weak and obscured by dominant bulk signals. Here we overcome this limitation by placing a transferable porous gold membrane, (PAuM) on the surface of interest. Slot-shaped nanopores in the membrane act as plasmonic antennas and enhance the Raman response of the surface or thin film underneath. Simultaneously, the PAuM suppresses the penetration of the excitation laser into the bulk, efficiently blocking its Raman signal. Using graphene as a model surface, we show that this method increases the surface-to-bulk Raman signal ratio by three orders of magnitude. We find that 90% of the Raman enhancement occurs within the top 2.5 nm of the material, demonstrating truly surface-sensitive Raman scattering. To validate our approach, we quantify the strain in a 12.5 nm thin Silicon film and analyze the surface of a LaNiO3 thin film. We observe a Raman mode splitting for the LaNiO3 surface-layer, which is spectroscopic evidence that the surface structure differs from the bulk. These results validate that PAuM gives direct access to Raman signatures of thin films and surfaces.

Salary Competition in Matching Markets with Private Information
Creators: name: Boosey, Luke A.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2011
Subjects: Salary competition, Two-sided markets, Bayesian games, Replicated markets

description: We analyze a game in which firms with private information compete for workers by making a single salary offer. Once salaries are chosen, firms make offers to workers, who care only about salary. Firms and workers are matched according to the Gale-Shapley deferred acceptance algorithm that dominates the theory of two-sided matching. For a two-firm, two-worker model, we prove existence of a Bayesian Nash equilibrium in which each firm type chooses a salary according to a continuous distribution with interval support in the salary space. We find a 'separation' of types in equilibrium, in the sense that between two types with a common most preferred worker, one type always makes higher offers than the other type. The type that makes the higher offers depends on the relative marginal values attached to the workers by the different firm types. Moreover, more 'popular' workers attract higher average equilibrium salaries.
We also consider an extension of the model to larger markets by replicating the two- firm two-worker case, in order to examine the effects of market size on competition and equilibrium salaries. In the limit, there is no aggregate uncertainty about the realization of firm types. We characterize the equilibria for this limit case in which there are a continuum of firms and a continuum of workers divided into two equal-sized worker classes. Finally, we conjecture the existence and convergence of the sequence of equilibria in finite   replicated markets to the corresponding continuum equilibrium as the number of replications approaches infinity.

Legislative bargaining and the dynamics of public investment

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2011
Subjects: Dynamic political economy, voting, public goods, bargaining, experiments

description: We present a legislative bargaining model of the provision of a durable public good over an infinite horizion. In each period, there is a societal endowment which can either be invested in the public good or consumed. We characterize the optimal public policy, defined by the time path of investment and consumption. In each period, a legislature with representatives of each of "n" districts bargain over the current period's endowment for investment in the public good and transfers to each district. We analyze the Markov perfect equilibrium under different voting "q"-rules where "q" is the number of yes votes required for passage. We show that the efficiency of the public policy is increasing in "q" because higher "q" leads to higher investment in the public good and less pork. We examine the theoretical equilibrium predictions by conducting a laboratory experiment with five-person committees that compares three alternative voting rules: unanimity (q=5); majority (q=3); and dictatorship (q=1).

description: Sulfonamide derivatives have been designed and synthesized for LIMK2 inhibitors. The inhibition activities of the sulfonamide derivatives were tested against LIMK2. The best sulfonamide derivative was three times more potent than the best sulfonamide inhibitors previously published based on MTT assay results.
Two LIMK2 single mutants, LIMK2-365 and LIMK2-549, and a LIMK2 double mutant (LIMK2-DM) were cloned, and their phosphorylation activities were measured and compared against normal LIMK2. LIMK2-365, LIMK2-549, and LIMK2-DM all showing lower activities than the normal LIMK2, with the LIMK2-DM showing even lower activity than each of the single mutant LIMK2, suggesting the importance of these amino acid residues in phosphorylation and in the formation of dimer LIMK2.

Incentive Compatibility of Large Centralized Matching Markets
Creators: name: Lee, Sangmok
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2011

description: This paper discusses the strategic manipulation of stable matching mechanisms. We provide a model of a two-sided matching market, in which a firm hires a worker, and each of them receives non-transferable utility.  Assuming that the utilities are randomly drawn from underlying distributions, we measure the likelihood of differences in utilities from different stable matchings. Our key finding is that in large markets, most agents are close to being indifferent among partners in different stable matchings. Specifically, as the number of firms and workers becomes large, the expected proportion of firms and workers whose utilities from all stable matchings are within an arbitrarily small difference of one another converges to one. It is known that the utility gain by manipulating a stable matching mechanism is limited by the difference between utilities from the most and the least preferred stable matchings. Thus, the finding also implies that the expected proportion of agents who may obtain a significant utility gain from manipulation vanishes in large markets. This result reconciles successful stable mechanisms in practice with the theoretical concerns about strategic manipulation.

description: Using a computational testbed, we theoretically predict and experimentally show that in the minimum effort coordination game, as the cost of effort increases, 1) the game converges to lower effort levels, 2) the convergence speed increases, and 3) the average payoff is not monotonically decreasing. In fact, the average profit is an U-shaped curve as a function of cost. Therefore, contrary to the intuition, one can obtain a higher average profit by increasing the cost of effort.

Ambiguity Aversion in Asset Market: Experimental Study of Home Bias
Creators: name: Myung, Noah
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2009
Subjects: Equity Market Home Bias, Mean-Variance Model, Ambiguity Aversion, Experiments

description: The equity market home bias occurs when the investors over-invest in their home country assets. The equity market home bias is a paradox because the investors are not hedging their risk optimally. Even with unrealistic levels of risk aversion, the equity market home bias cannot be explained using the standard mean-variance model. We propose ambiguity aversion to be the behavioral explanation. We design six experiments using real world assets and derivatives to show the relationship between ambiguity aversion and home bias. We tested for ambiguity aversion by showing that the investor's subjective probability is sub-additive. The result from the experiment provides support for the assertion that ambiguity aversion is related to the equity market home bias paradox.

Improving Coordination and Cooperation Through Competition

Year: 2009
Subjects: Competition, Coordination game, Corporate Culture, Equilibrium Selection, Experiment, Organization, Prisoner's Dilemma

description: We use game theory and experimental economics approaches to analyze the relationships between corporate culture and the persistent performance differences among seemingly similar enterprises. First, we show that competition leads to higher minimum effort levels in the minimum effort coordination game. This implies that, organizations with competitive institutional design are more likely to have better coordination, hence better performance outcome. Furthermore, we show that organizations with better co- ordination also lead to higher rates of cooperation in the prisoner's dilemma game. This supports the theory that the high-efficiency culture developed in coordination games act as a focal point for the outcome of subsequent prisoner's dilemma game. In turn, we argue that these endogenous features of culture developed from coordination and cooperation can help explain the persistent performance differences.

Modeling Dynamics in Time-Series–Cross-Section Political Economy Data
Creators: name: Beck, Nathaniel
name: Katz, Jonathan N.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2009
Subjects: lagged dependent variables, correlated errors, error correction model, non-stationarity, model specification

description: This paper deals with a variety of dynamic issues in the analysis of time- series–cross-section (TSCS) data. While the issues raised are more general, we focus on applications to political economy. We begin with a discussion of specification and lay out the theoretical differences implied by the various types of time series models that can be estimated. It is shown that there is nothing pernicious in using a lagged dependent variable and that all dynamic models either implicitly or explicitly have such a variable; the differences between the models relate to assumptions about the speeds of adjustment of measured and unmeasured variables. When adjustment is quick it is hard to differentiate between the various models; with slower speeds of adjustment the various models make sufficiently different predictions that they can be tested against each other. As the speed of adjustment gets slower and slower, specification (and estimation) gets more and more tricky. We then turn to a discussion of estimation. It is noted that models with both a lagged dependent variable and serially correlated errors can easily be estimated; it is only OLS that is inconsistent in this situation. We then show, via Monte Carlo analysis shows that for typical TSCS data that fixed effects with a lagged dependent variable performs about as well as the much more complicated Kiviet estimator, and better than the Anderson-Hsiao estimator (both designed for panels).

Bentrovata Richards, 1973: 301, 394.
Type species: Bentrovata regalis Richards, 1973: 395.
The description of the genus was given by RICHARDS (1973). Some additional characters as well as a description of male and female genitalia are given below.
Head. Frons usually with 5 whitish or silvery stripes. Only 1 pair of ors. Head setae occe and occi though small, well-discernible. Arista about 3–4 times as long as antenna with short cilia only.
Thorax. Pleura anteriorly without any emargination; a large emargination present on distal 1/3 of thorax, which receives mid and hind femur when at rest. Prosternum linear, with a small triangular dilatation posteriorly (see RICHARDS 1973). Scutellum with distinctly curved posterior margin (in contrast to the straight margin in Monteithiana Richards, 1973). No wings or halteres, i.e. totally reduced (absent).
Legs. Similar to those of Apterobiroina, i.e. short and more or less thickened. Mid tibia with a strong va, no mid ventral seta. Antero-dorsal and postero-dorsal setae are paired at basal 1/3 and about apical 4/5. Hind tibia without dorsal preapical seta.
Abdomen. Strongly sclerotised, lateral margins of preabdominal tergites and sternites nearly meet laterally. Female postabdomen small, telescopized (Fig. 38).
Male genitalia. Dorsal part of synsternite short (Figs 24, 30, 46). Ventro-medial process of synsternite with unarranged (Figs 21–22) thick setae or those are in 1 row (Figs 31–32, 44–45). Surstylus smaller, rounded (not divided), with 1 large thorn (Figs 26, 34–35, 49–50). Postgonite slender, its apex narrow and proclinate (Figs 27, 37, 48).
Female genitalia. Spermathecae less sclerotised, with a small bulb on initial section of duct (Figs 28, 39–40, 53). Cercus shorter, with short setae (Figs 29, 41–42, 51–52). Epiproct membranous, without a pair of dorsal setulae (Figs 29, 41–42, 51–52).

The Testable Implications of Zero-sum Games
Creators: name: Lee, Sangmok
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2009
Subjects: Interchangeability, Nash-rationalizability, Revealed preference, Zero-sum game

description: We study Nash-rationalizable joint choice behavior under restriction on zero- sum games. We show that interchangeability of choice behavior is the only additional condition which distinguishes zero-sum games from general non-cooperative games with respect to testable implications. This observation implies that in some sense interchangeability is not only a necessary but also a sufficient property which differentiates zero-sum games.

The Nature of Collusion Facilitating and Collusion Breaking Power of Simultaneous Ascending Price and Simultaneous Descending Price Auctions
Creators: name: Brown, Alexander
name: Plott, Charles R.
name: Sullivan, Heidi Kamp
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2007
Subjects: tacit collusion, information, auctions, game theory

description: This paper demonstrates that a robust, tacit collusion evolves quickly in a collusion incubator environment, but is destroyed by the simultaneous, descending price auction. Theories of collusion-producing behavior, along with the detail of the states on which strategies are conditioned, lead to a deeper understanding of how tacit collusion evolves and its necessary conditions. These theories explain how the descending price auction destroys the collusion. The experiments proceed by conducting simultaneous ascending price auctions in the collusion incubator. Then, once the tacit collusion developed, changing to the descending auction. The change moved prices from collusive levels to near competitive levels.

Market Design for Fishery IFQ Programs

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2009
Subjects: Market Design, Individual Fishing Quotas, Term Quotas, Auctions

description: I examine the impact of market design on the performance of a cap-and-trade program for Individual Fishing Quotas. In equilibrium, neither the term of the quota, the number of years for which it is valid, nor the method of initial allocation, granting or selling, has a differential effect on the protability of the shery or the quality of the environment. However, the term of the quota and the method of initialization can have a big impact on the price discovery process and whether equilibrium is attained. Because of this, both the fishery and the environment can be significantly better off with a mixture of historically based grants and auctions with some form of limited term quotas. I also discuss some additional benefits from an initialization process that generates some revenue for the public. Section 5 contains a summary.

Inequality aversion and risk aversion
Creators: name: Chambers, Christopher P.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2009
Subjects: Risk aversion, Inequality aversion, Aggregation

description: This note shows that for two social welfare functions which are inequality averse and anonymous, if one is more inequality averse than the other, it induces a more risk averse household through optimal sharing than the other. We present examples showing that this comparative static can be reversed if either the property of inequality aversion or anonymity is dropped.
description: This note grew out of discussions with Federico Echenique and Mark Machina, toward whom I am grateful.

description: It is easy to say, but harder to do [9]. The first article of the Madagascar Constitution defines a clear division of responsibilities. This split establishes distinct roles : some people write bills, some evaluate and vote on them, some guarantee legal conformity, and others are in charge of enforcing the laws. However, there is a considerable difference between announcing intentions and taking action. L. Filliettaz [8] examines the psychological component of action compared to discourse in his approach. He proposes a link between speech and the environment in which it is formed. The process of converting one's words into actions exists between speech and action. [7]. This article investigates the use of words in action in public finance management.Speech serves as a mirror of actions.
Unveiling the Unseen Realities: Octavia Butler’s Exploration of Disability and Society in “The Evening and the Morning and the Night” (1987)

description: Disability studies is a comparatively new field within literary studies, focusing on the portrayal of disabilities in literature and the complex connotations, perceptions, and systems of oppression associated with it. This article examines Octavia Butler’s short story “The Evening and the Morning and the Night,” which revolves around the fictional hereditary Duryea-Gode-Disease (DGD) and reveals the pervasive structural oppression experienced by affected characters. The discussion covers the concepts of ableism, empowerment, and intersectionality. Butler’s narrative presents a path towards liberation from discrimination, while underscoring the varying impact of this discrimination based on the individual’s intersectional identity. Ultimately, the examination highlights the significance of communal support as a vital tool in resisting discrimination. It also illustrates how the disease intersects with other social categories to shape unique experiences of oppression.

Money metric utilitarianism

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2008
Subjects: money metric, utilitarianism, social choice, GDP, aggregate equivalent income

description: We discuss a method of ranking allocations in economic environments which applies when we do not know the names or preferences of individual agents. We require that two allocations can be ranked with the knowledge only of their aggregate bundles and community indifference sets–a condition we refer to as aggregate independence. We also postulate a basic Pareto and continuity property, and a property stating that when two disjoint economies and allocations are put together, the ranking in the large economy should be consistent with the rankings in the two smaller economies (reinforcement). We show that a ranking method satisfies these axioms if and only if there is a probability measure over the strictly positive prices for which the rule ranks allocations on the basis of the random-price money-metric utilitarian rule. This is a rule which computes the money-metric utility for each agent at each price, sums these, and then takes an expectation according to the probability measure.
