description: This paper presents multivariate estimates of the relationship between the ability to sign and a number of individual characteristics for two groups of English men and women of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The results generally confirm those of other historians' studies of literacy in pre-industrial England, as they indicate that, with other things equal, men were more literate than women, and that there was a positive correlation between the ability to sign and both possession of a skilled occupation and residence in London. However the results also indicate the presence of a strong positive association between an individual's age and the ability to sign. Since those in the samples were all above the normal school-leaving age, this finding calls into question the assumption of some earlier investigations that the ability to sign was normally acquired in school, and points to the possible quantitative importance of informal education in pre-industrial England.

Sie unterscheiden sich von Q. fissus durch die fehlende Mikroskulptur auf den Elytren und deren unregelmässige Punktur, von Q. fagelianus durch den stark verlängerten Apex des ♀ -Tergites X (Abb. 4b). Die Punktur der Elytren ist etwas kräftiger als beim Holotypus von Q. skoupyi, besonders befinden sich auch im Innenbereich der Elytrenoberfläche zwischen der feinen Punktur zahlreiche gröbere Borstenpunkte. Da über die Variabilität von Q. skoupyi keine Informationen vorliegen und das ♀ von Q. skoupyi unbekannt ist, muss eine Deutung der vorliegenden Weibchen bis zum Auffinden weiterer männlicher Exemplare unterbleiben.

description: Road network simplification is a complex decision-making process. Such a multi-factor decision and scaling operation traditionally applied rule-based methods. The establishment and adjustment of these rules involve many human-set parameters and conditions, which makes generalized results closely related to the cartographer’s experience and habits. On the other hand, existing methods tend to consider individual structures separately in different algorithms, such as strokes, meshes and graph networks, lacking a solution that brings the advantages of these methods together. Aiming at the above problems, this study designs a simplification method using the Mesh-Line Structure Unit (MLSU) to consider polyline and polygon characteristics simultaneously with the support of graph-based deep learning networks. In order to make generalization decisions, a model based on graph convolutional network (GCN) is constructed and trained using real data, thus realizing the road network selective omission. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method effectively achieves automatic road generalization. The proposed method uses graph convolutional neural network techniques to construct a road generalization model, and can effectively combine the advantages of geographic domain knowledge with data-driven methods.A new specific MLSU structure is proposed for the road generalization tasks, which combines a road mesh with the road itself, enabling it to capture more road-related features and substitute the road in deep learning network model for training.The road generalization approach proposed in this paper comprehensively considers the roads themselves, the road network, and the neighbouring mesh polygons, thereby combining the advantages of traditional methods based on graph theory, strokes and mesh merging.

The Decline of Collective Responsibility in American Politics

description: In the American constitutional system the formal powers of government are sufficiently fragmented that no single official, including the president, is individually responsible for the outcomes of government activity. Thus, American officials face the continual temptation to "pass the buck"—to avoid any difficult or politically dangerous decision in the hope that some other official(s) will get stuck with the consequences of acting or failing to act. The American citizen in turn, faces the difficult task of assessing responsibility on numerous officials all of whom deny that they share in that responsibility. The only remedy for such a situation is some form of collective responsibility by which all officials who share authority are held equally responsible for acting or failing to act. Thus far in our history the political party has been the only vehicle by which collective responsibility has been enforced. Strong parties provide the leadership to organized and maintain national policymaking coalitions, and in doing so become clearly responsible for the policies which emerge. Unfortunately, the political party has undergone a steady decline in American politics, a decline evident in the organizational, electoral and governmental spheres. As a result there is a crisis of collective responsibility in contemporary American politics. This situation contributes to more often discussed contemporary problems such as immobilism in our policymaking processes, the increasing importance of single-issue groups, and the increasing political alienation of the American populace.
description: My thinking on the matters discussed in this essay has benefited from the critical commentary of Lawrence Joseph and Robert Salisbury.

Accounting for the Electoral Effects of Short Term Economic Fluctuations: The Role of Incumbency-Oriented and Policy-Oriented Voting
Creators: name: Kiewiet, D. Roderick
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: Several previous studies have found considerable evidence of incumbency-oriented voting, i.e. voting for or against the incumbent president and candidates of his party on the basis of fluctuations in economic conditions. This study explores the hypothesis that voting in response to economic conditions is often policy.

description: In recent years, satellite data have become available for free to the remote sensing community. Land use and land cover (LULC) changes are identified in remote sensing applications using Landsat satellite data. However, there is a lack of studies that utilize these data to assess the performance of satellite data on LULC classification and monitoring changes in complex landscapes. This study aims at evaluating LULC changes for the years 2013, 2018, and 2023 in the Sangha area using Landsat-8 OLI images. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm was implemented for detecting changes in the Sangha area. The results revealed that wetland forest and water bodies drastically declined, with a net change of −33.78 and-19.22%, respectively, while open forest, urban area, and bare soils with +77.91, +52.81, and +40.52% correspondingly substantially increased between 2013 and 2023. The overall accuracy and Kappa statistics achieved were above 91% and 0.85, respectively.

Power Structure and Cardinality Restrictions for Paretian Social Choice Rules
Creators: name: Packel, Edward W.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: Let f be a multiple-valued Paretian social choice rule for n voters and an outcome set X. The preventing sets for f are shown to form an acyclic majority when |X| ̅n, and a filter when f also satisfies a binary independence condition. These results are then shown to yield inequalities relating |X|, n, and certain preventing sets. In particular, if every coalition of q voters constitutes a preventing set, then |X|≤[(n-1)/(n-q)]. Other n-q inequalities are obtained if strong equilibria are present for every preference profile.

In Search of Scientific Regulation: The UHF Allocation Experiment
Creators: name: Nelson, Forrest D.
name: Noll, Roger G.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: This paper reports the results of one attempt to introduce an objective, quantitative, scientific mechanism for making allocational regulatory decisions. The case is the allocation of UHF television stations among cities by the Federal Communications Commission. The mechanism is an experiment which is designed to reveal the preferences of the subjects with respect to alternative allocations. Pilot experiments were performed on FCC staff, the purposes of which were to refine the experimental design and instructions and to provide data for comparing different specifications of the final estimated equation. Participating in the final experiment were six FCC commissioners, nine members of the Commission's congressional oversight committee, and eleven members of the staffs of both groups.
Data collected from these experiments have been fitted to theoretical stochastic models of qualitative choice behavior to obtain estimates of allocation preferences as a function of market characteristics. These preference functions are then used (a) to check the coherence of preferences across individuals; (b) to examine differences in policy objectives between congressional oversight committees and the regulatory agency; (c) to determine whether individual preferences can be aggregated into a social decision function with normatively compelling properties, such as consistency with individual preferences or majority-rule equilibrium; and (d) to test the sensitivity of committee decisions to voting institutions and alternative agendas.
description: Part of the research reported here was financed by the Federal Communications Commission. We are grateful to Raymond Wilmotte for suggesting the project and encouraging its continuation, and to Gail Crotts and Alan Stillwell for carrying out the experiments. Of course, this report reflects the views of the authors, and should not be attributed to the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC's UHF Task Force, or any members of the staff of the FCC.

The Market Evaluation of Human Capital: The Case of Indentured Servitude

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology

Subjects: Human capital, Indentured servitude, Productivity, Contracts, Cash payments, Coefficients, Literacy, Labor demand, Political economy, Net income

description: This paper examines the market for human capital created by the institution of indentured servitude in colonial America. The indenture system allowed English emigrants to obtain passage to the colonies by selling claims on their future labor. With the size of the debt approximately equal for all emigrants, the length of the term for which a servant was bound is predicted to have varied inversely with expected productivity in the colonies. Analysis of two collections of contracts made in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries supports the prediction. Age, skill, and literacy-were negatively related to length of indenture. Women received shorter terms than men at young ages, while servants bound for the West Indies and those bound in periods of high colonial demand for labor also received reductions.

Equilibrium and Efficiency under Pure Entitlement Systems
Creators: name: Green, Edward J.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1981

description: An entitlement system is a political institution which accords various citizens' rights to veto specific changes of social state. This paper concerns the performance of such institutions, in the absence of other centralized decision-making institutions. Specifically, questions relating to unbiasedness (the potential of an institution to support any Pareto-efficient social state as an equilibrium) in situations with externalities are discussed. Necessary conditions for an entitlement system to be unbiased regardless of a society's technology are found, and these conditions are shown to be sufficient when technology and preferences satisfy some geometric conditions (e.g., convexity). However, counterexamples to unbiasedness are provided when these conditions fail. It is argued that, even when an entitlement institution is unbiased, extensive information is required to verify this fact. The difficulty of systematically designing an unbiased system qualifies Hayek's assertion that such a system would be informationally efficient in operation.

description: The purpose of this paper is to suggest and justify a simple approach to arms competitions, wherein arms competitions are viewed as disaggregated competitions between pairs of weapons systems for the execution of mutually incompatible policy goals. This approach is derived from a decision theoretic model of armament choice, wherein military force level decision makers make tradeoffs between alternative strategies of weapons deployment for the achievement of national foreign policy objectives. Data representing a cross-section of the US and USSR military arsenals is employed in a quasi-first difference two stage least squares analysis to evidence the propositions of the model and this approach.

description: Social scientists and historians trained in social science began importing quantitative methods and explicit models into history in the late 1950s. At first, many disciplinary leaders stoutly resisted the trend, but in the 1960s and 70s the major historical journals became increasingly receptive to statistical and mathematical pieces and the range and importance of work by quantifiers became impossible for historians to ignore. What defines the new subfield, how healthy is it, and where is it likely to go in the future? A review of recent work on critical elections, geographic mobility, and postbellum Southern economic history suggests that QUAntitative Social Scientific History (QUASSH) has the usual adolescent traumas, but that the diagnosis is favorable and the recommended therapy is an increase in the time spent contemplating the connections between theory and methods and more contact with mainline historians.

description: Exploration for oil and natural gas often produces an information externality for other resource owners. In isolation, this arrangement can lead to suboptimal exploration patterns. However, private institutions have evolved in the oil industry to provide markets for the external information. In this paper, the exploration process is modeled in a game theoretic framework in which the existence and performance of the private trading institutions are examined.

Aedeagus and internal sac examined in four or two males, respectively; genitalia and reproductive tract examined in the female.
DIAGNOSIS.As for T. nitidicollis, except for internal sac of aedeagus as illustrated in Roux et al. [2016: 161]: it is different in shape and has two, large, contiguous clusters of multiple, long and dense, spicules (Figs 59–61). In general, sides of pronotum very slightly sinuate in front of base (Fig. 1), pronotal basal angles less rounded; elytra with slight yet distinct violaceous lusre, which is more distinct along reflexed lateral margins; elytral striae more coarsely punctate and deeper, resulting in the intervals being slightly more convex. Elytral microsculpture barely more transverse, consisting of slightly transvese to isodiametric meshes. Female bursa copulatrix shorter (Fig. 38).
REDESCRIPTION. As for T. nitidicollis except diagnostic features above. BL 24.2–27 mm. Metatarsomere 1 with 3– 4 anterolateral and no posterolateral setae.
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION. Indochina (Myanmar, Thiland, Cambodia,? Laos); unknown to me from Vietnam.
HABITATS AND HABITS. The label data of the specimens listed point rather to eurybiotic habits of this species.
COMMENTS. The specimens listed match well the original description, including two distinctive features such as distinct basal angles of the pronotum and the elytra with some purple luster, whereas T. nitidicollis has the basal angles rounded and the elytra black. Therefore it is here identified as T. aurifera which invites this name to be resurrected from synonymy of T. nitidicollis.
Trigonotoma confusa Dubault et al., 2010, from ‘Bhamo’, Myanmar, is very similar except only that it has the body barely smaller, BL 21–23 mm, and the metatarsomere 1 externally sulcate. Roux et al. [2016] mention the latter character in the key, but they wrongly mention asulcate metatarsomere 1 in the re-description.

A Note on 'Experimental Auction Markets and the Walrasian Hypothesis'
Creators: name: Nelson, Forrest D.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: This note serves to correct an erroneous inference regarding price dynamics and to graphically illustrate the importance of model specification in the context of a very simple and fascinating structure. In an earlier JPE article, Vernon Smith concluded that excess supply by itself was an unreliable predictor of the speed of price adjustment. On the basis of regression procedures applied to experimental data he found that the potential rent to be captured exerts the dominant influence. Two alternative statistical procedures, a Tobit specification and a nonparametric test, dramatically deny this inference. Excess supply dominates excess rent as a predictor of the rate of adjustment, but in fact neither Hypothesis adequately captures the random behavior of price movement.
description: Vernon Smith suggested the possible application of limited dependent variable techniques and Charles Plott provided helpful discussion and encouragement. Viewpoints expressed and responsibility for errors or omission or commission are those of the author.

title: An exploration of how Lebanese private universities are attempting to improve teaching and learning in the absence of a national quality assurance agency.
Creators: name: Daoud, Rafka
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2025

description: Higher education (HE) is essential for political and economic progress and for maintaining competitiveness in a knowledge society that is becoming increasingly globalised. The Lebanese HE system, which is increasingly affected by globalisation, has been expanding over the last thirty years, which has resulted in significant progress in private HE provision. The reform to implement quality assurance (QA) measures is essential for improving the quality of the Lebanese HEIs. Therefore, greater attention is being paid to QA as a crucial component in guaranteeing the relevance of HE in response to increasing competition in the education sector. Lebanese private universities must improve their internal Quality Assurance (IQA) systems to maintain their reputation. By enhancing IQA, these universities can identify areas for improvement and increase operational efficiency while ensuring compliance with national and international standards. 
This study examines the IQA systems implemented by private universities in Lebanon and their influence on teaching and learning (T&L) as perceived by decision-makers, faculty, and administrative staff. It also discusses national QA initiatives to establish a regulatory body for the country’s HE sector. The research investigates how Lebanese private universities enhance T&L without a national QA agency (QAA), employing a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. The goal is to explore the interplay between institution-level IQA mechanisms, the potential national QAA, and T&L at student and teacher levels. Specifically, the study assesses the impact of IQA mechanisms in two Lebanese private universities on T&L components.
Despite implementing QA initiatives and projects supported by European agencies and universities since 2005, this study highlights the ineffectiveness of government QA guidelines and the absence of a national QAA as of the research date. This study centres on the gap between national policy and QA practices in Lebanese HE. While universities actively implement QA, government support is limited. Addressing the scarcity of research on Lebanese QA, it highlights how IQA processes can encourage student-centred approaches and innovative teaching methods. 
The study offers practical recommendations to enhance QA and IQA in Lebanese HEIs. It calls for leadership and faculty engagement to build a culture of excellence and innovation. Transparent, participatory QA processes that involve all stakeholders—students, faculty, staff, and administrators—can improve accountability and drive CI. Effective QA requires a shift in mindset, focusing on outcomes, processes, and the broader system within Lebanon’s socioeconomic and cultural context. The study also advocates establishing a national QAA to standardise practices and ensure equal accountability across institutions.

description: This paper uses a formal model of search over multiattribute alternatives, analyzed in a product market setting, to investigate the theoretical foundations of the empirical literature on duration of search and turnover in product markets, labor markets, and marriage markets. A number of specific empirical predictions are also derived. In particular, whether "quality" is a "search" attribute or an "experience" attribute is related to the cost of search, the cost of inspection, the price of the good, and certain properties of the market distribution of price and quality.

description: Topographic data is a fundamental input to flood hazard models and controls the quality of the outputs. However, open-access global digital elevation models (DEMs) are dated and limited to 30 m resolution, which hinders modelling efforts in urban or topographically complex environments. We used the flood prone and expanding city of Kathmandu, Nepal, to evaluate the impact of topographic data source and resolution on flood model outputs. All DEMs evaluated featured spatially correlated topographic sinks with depths exceeding 20 m that required hydrological conditioning before being used in flood modelling. Incomplete hydrological conditioning appeared related to the overestimation of flood extent and therefore limited agreement when comparing a global 90 m resolution flood hazard model with a bespoke city-scale model at 10 m resolution (F1 score = 0.40). Instead, we found that the height above nearest drainage (HAND) metric was better able to replicate the higher resolution flood map as an indicator of flood susceptibility requiring only topographic information as an input. We also found that the computationally efficient FastFlood model was able to match the inundation extent (F1 score = 0.79) and flood depths (mean absolute error and root mean square error of 0.46 and 0.76 m respectively) of a published 10 m physics-based flood hazard model whilst requiring 212 times less computation time. Our analysis demonstrated that mapping city-scale flood inundation required hydrologically conditioned high-resolution topographic data but not physically complex flood models, highlighting the need for greater availability of high quality open access topographic data.

The Role of Feedback in a Dynamically Stable Economic System
Creators: name: Klein, Burton H.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: Generally speaking, the stimuli to various types of technological change are associated with two types of anticipated feedback: hidden hand feedback (the possibility of making higher profits) and hidden foot feedback (the possibility of being dislodged from a successful market by the process of creative destruction). In this paper it is argued that the most significant gains in productivity result from hidden foot rather than hidden hand feedback. Moreover, it is also argued that the disappearance of such feedback has not only contributed to the productivity slowdown, but also to providing the economy with a very unique kind of inflationary bias in which inflationary pressures are likely to reach their maximum strength when the economy is headed into a downturn. Finally, various measures to restore the dynamic stability of the economy are considered.

Social Welfare Functions for Economic Environments with and without the Pareto Principle
Creators: name: Border, Kim C.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: Social welfare functions for private goods economies with classical preferences are considered. It is shown that every social welfare function satisfying a weak nonimposition condition and the independence of irrelevant alternatives axiom is of one of the following forms. It is either null or the class of decisive coalitions is an ultrafilter or the class of anti-decisive coalitions is an ultrafilter.
description: Revised.

Disequilibrium, Self-Selection and Switching Models
Creators: name: Maddala, G. S.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1980

description: The present paper outlines the similarities in the structure of self-selectivity models and disequilibrium models. Both these models fall under the category of switching models—with sample separation known and sample separation unknown. Curiously enough the econometric models with self-selectivity are all switching models with sample separation known, whereas the econometric models with disequilibrium are mostly formulated as switching models with unknown sample separation. The paper argues that the reasons for this are that not much attention is devoted to the reasons for the existence of disequilibrium and the models are all formulated as "rationing" models. It is suggested that many empirical applications of disequilibrium fall in the category of "trading" models and here the sample separation is known and the reasons for the existence of disequilibrium are also clear.
