Purification In The Infinitely-Repeated Prisoners’ Dilemma, V. Bhaskar, George J. Mailath, Stephen Morris Feb 2004

Purification In The Infinitely-Repeated Prisoners’ Dilemma, V. Bhaskar, George J. Mailath, Stephen Morris

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper investigates the Harsanyi-purifiability of mixed strategies in the repeated prisoners’ dilemma with perfect monitoring. We perturb the game so that in each period, a player receives a private payoff shock which is independently and identically distributed across players and periods. We focus on the purifiability of a class of one-period memory mixed strategy equilibria used by Ely and Välimäki in their study of the repeated prisoners’ dilemma with private monitoring. We find that the strategy profile is purifiable by perturbed-game finite-memory strategies if and only if it is strongly symmetric, in the sense that after every history, both …


Using Subspace Methods For Estimating Arma Models For Multivariate Time Series With Conditionally Heteroskedastic Innovations, Dietmar Bauer Feb 2004

Using Subspace Methods For Estimating Arma Models For Multivariate Time Series With Conditionally Heteroskedastic Innovations, Dietmar Bauer

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper deals with the estimation of linear dynamic models of the ARMA type for the conditional mean for time series with conditionally heteroskedastic innovation process widely used in modelling financial time series. Estimation is performed using subspace methods which are known to have computational advantages as compared to prediction error methods based on criterion minimization. These advantages are especially strong for high dimensional time series. The subspace methods are shown to provide consistent estimators. Moreover asymptotic equivalence to prediction error estimators in terms of the asymptotic variance is proved. Also order estimation techniques are proposed and analyzed. The estimators …

Phylogenetic Revision Of Leptodesma (Leiopteria) (Devonian: Bivalvia), Alycia L. Rode Jan 2004

Phylogenetic Revision Of Leptodesma (Leiopteria) (Devonian: Bivalvia), Alycia L. Rode

Postilla

The phylogenetic relationships of Middle and Late Devonian species of the subgenus Leptodesma (Leiopteria) Hall 1883 are examined cladistically and a taxonomic revision of the subgenus is proposed. Six taxa previously afforded species rank are synonymized with Leptodesma (Leiopteria) laevis (Hall 1843). One new species, Leptodesma (Leiopteria) accranus, is described from the Lower to Middle Devonian of Ghana. Biogeographic analysis of the subgenus reveals less vicariant speciation than speciation associated with range expansion and dispersal. This pattern has been observed in trilobites and phyllocarid crustaceans and may represent a general pattern during the Middle and Late Devonian. Extensive range expansion …


Anchisaurus Polyzelus (Hitchcock): The Smallest Known Sauropod Dinosaur And The Evolution Of Gigantism Among Sauropodomorph Dinosaurs, Adam M. Yates Jan 2004

Anchisaurus Polyzelus (Hitchcock): The Smallest Known Sauropod Dinosaur And The Evolution Of Gigantism Among Sauropodomorph Dinosaurs, Adam M. Yates

Postilla

A review of the type and referred specimens of Anchisaurus polyzelus (Hitchcock) and Ammosaurus major Marsh, from the Early Jurassic Portland Formation (Hartford Basin, Newark Supergroup), indicates that the latter is a junior synonym of the former. The material displays derived similarities with sauropod dinosaurs that are not present in their sister group, the prosauropods. Cladistic analysis strongly supports the hypothesis that Anchisaurus polyzelus is the most basal known member of Sauropoda. Thus A. polyzelus becomes the smallest known sauropod. Optimization of femur length using square change parsimony indicates that the lineage leading to Neosauropoda underwent gradual and sustained size …

Nonlinear Double-Diffusive Intrusions At The Equator, Neil R. Edwards, Kelvin J. Richards Jan 2004

Nonlinear Double-Diffusive Intrusions At The Equator, Neil R. Edwards, Kelvin J. Richards

Journal of Marine Research

Previous, linear analysis has suggested that observations of interleaving, quasi-horizontal layers in the equatorial oceans may be explained by double-diffusive or inertial instability. Here we describe an idealized, two-dimensional, numerical investigation of the nonlinear development of these instabilities, focusing almost exclusively on the double-diffusive case. We consider the mechanisms for equilibration and maintenance of the interleaving intrusions and perform a thorough sensitivity analysis. Nonlinearity arising from changes in diffusive regime is found to be more important than advective nonlinearity in promoting global equilibration. When variations in effective flux ratio are weak, local constraints prevent equilibration until large amplitudes are reached. …


Respiration And Vertical Carbon Flux In The Gulf Of Maine Water Column, T. T. Packard, J. P. Christensen Jan 2004

Respiration And Vertical Carbon Flux In The Gulf Of Maine Water Column, T. T. Packard, J. P. Christensen

Journal of Marine Research

The transport of carbon from ocean surface waters to the deep sea is a critical factor in calculations of planetary carbon cycling and climate change. This vertical carbon flux can be calculated by integrating the vertical profile of the seawater respiration rate but is rarely done because measuring seawater respiration is so difficult. However, seawater respiratory oxygen consumption is the product of the combined activity of all the respiratory electron transfer systems in a seawater community of bacterioplankton, phytoplankton, and zooplankton. This respiratory electron transfer system (ETS) is the membrane bound enzymatic system that controls oxygen consumption and ATP production …


Rapid Physical And Biological Particle Mixing On An Intertidal Sandflat, Anthony F. D'Andrea, Glenn R. Lopez, Robert C. Aller Jan 2004

Rapid Physical And Biological Particle Mixing On An Intertidal Sandflat, Anthony F. D'Andrea, Glenn R. Lopez, Robert C. Aller

Journal of Marine Research

Sediment mixing processes were investigated using inert tracer experiments, benthic macrofaunal community analysis, and surveys of ray feeding pits to quantify the relative rates and controls of physical and biological reworking on Debidue Flat, an intertidal sandflat in South Carolina. Sediment reworking on Debidue Flat was rapid, with both advective and biodiffusive mixing operating over different vertical spatial scales. Physical reworking by tidal currents dominated initial transport of the tracer in the top 5-10 cm on timescales of ~30 days. Although the exact mechanism of tracer transport is unclear, it is most likely due to active fluidization of surface sediments …


Influence Of Short-Term Variations In Food On Survival Of Crassostrea Gigas Larvae: A Modeling Study, Eric N. Powell, Eleanor A. Bochenek, John M. Klinck, Eileen E. Hofmann Jan 2004

Influence Of Short-Term Variations In Food On Survival Of Crassostrea Gigas Larvae: A Modeling Study, Eric N. Powell, Eleanor A. Bochenek, John M. Klinck, Eileen E. Hofmann

Journal of Marine Research

A biochemically-based model was developed to simulate the growth, development, and metamorphosis of larvae of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas. The model defines larvae in terms of their protein, lipid, carbohydrate, and ash content and includes variation in growth efficiency and egg quality to better simulate cohort population dynamics. Changes in tissue composition occur as the larva grows and in response to the biochemical composition of the food. The premise behind this modeling study was that certain periods of larval life are more critical than others with respect to the availability of food and that food quality is as …


Adhesive-Based Selection By A Tentacle-Feeding Polychaete For Particle Size, Shape And Bacterial Coating In Silt And Sand, Ruben A. Guieb, Peter A. Jumars, Robert F. L. Self Jan 2004

Adhesive-Based Selection By A Tentacle-Feeding Polychaete For Particle Size, Shape And Bacterial Coating In Silt And Sand, Ruben A. Guieb, Peter A. Jumars, Robert F. L. Self

Journal of Marine Research

We tested particle selection by a surface deposit-feeding, tentaculate spionid polychaete, Pseudopolydora kempi japonica Imajima and Hartman. In experiments with peroxide-cleaned, sizegraded but otherwise natural silts and sands, individual worms showed peak preference for particles 80-99 μm in diameter, compared with previous (Self and Jumars, 1988) documentation of peak preference for particles of 7 μm in experiments conducted with plastic and glass beads. These results imply that microtektites will not in general be good tracers of mixing of mineral grains of comparable size. Animals exhibited statistically significant but not marked differences in size selectivity for subrounded versus subangular grain shapes; …


Representativeness Of Meridional Hydrographic Sections In The Western South Atlantic, A. M. Thurnherr, K. G. Speer Jan 2004

Representativeness Of Meridional Hydrographic Sections In The Western South Atlantic, A. M. Thurnherr, K. G. Speer

Journal of Marine Research

Many studies of the oceanic circulation are based on data collected during quasi-synoptic hydrographic surveys. After spatial averaging, to filter out the effects of mesoscale variability, it is often explicitly or implicitly assumed that the synoptic hydrographic gradients are representative of a quasi-steady "mean" state. Climatological tracer fields and float data at the depth of the North Atlantic Deep Water in the western South Atlantic (Brazil Basin) support the notion of a quasi-steady mean circulation characterized by alternating bands of primarily zonal flow with meridional scales of several hundreds of km. Visually, the mean circulation appears to dominate three samples …
