This paper makes three advances: 1) It fixes the empty-core problem of the Coase theorem; 2) it provides Computer Stands the smallest upper bound of transaction costs below which the optimal or efficient outcomes can be achieved; and 3) it establishes two mathematical theorems that capture the main insights and major aspects of the Coase theorem.A
The Inventory of Personality Organization-Reality Testing Subscale (IPO-RT) and Belief in Science Scale (BIS) Chaps represent indirect, proxy measures of intuitive-experiential and analytical-rational thinking.However, a limited appraisal of factorial structure exists, and assessment of person-item functioning has not occurred.This study assessed t
Maintenance Box Tree-ring fire scars, tree ages, historical photographs, and historical surveys indicate that, for centuries, fire played different ecological roles across gradients of elevation, forest, and fire regimes in the Taos Valley Watersheds.Historical fire regimes collapsed across the three watersheds by 1899, leaving all sites without fi
Nowadays, optical sensors are used to digitize sculptural artworks by exploiting various contactless technologies.Cultural Heritage applications may concern 3D reconstructions of sculptural shapes distinguished by small details distributed over large surfaces.These applications require robust multi-view procedures based on aligning several high res
