Angiosperm Ovules And Carpels: Their Characters And Polarities, Distribution In Basal Clades, And Structural Evolution, David Winship Taylor Aug 1991

Angiosperm Ovules And Carpels: Their Characters And Polarities, Distribution In Basal Clades, And Structural Evolution, David Winship Taylor

Postilla

Angiosperm ovules and carpels have numerous characters and character states, not all of which have been utilized in phylogenetic analyses. A character analysis of these two organs is performed, including description of characters and states, and character polarization to identify the ancestral states. In addition, the distributions of these states are examined in the Magnoliidae and putatively basal orders of Hamamelidae, Caryophyllidae, Dilleniidae, Rosidae, Alismatidae (sensu Cronquist 1981), and Liliiflorae (sensu Dahlgren et al. 1985). These support two hypotheses: the ancestral ovules were orthotropous, bitegmic and crassinucellar, based on current terminology; and ancestral carpels had ascidate morphology and one or …

List Of Type Specimens In The Fish Collection At The Yale Peabody Museum, With A Brief History Of Ichthyology At Yale University, Jon Moore, Richard Boardman Aug 1991

List Of Type Specimens In The Fish Collection At The Yale Peabody Museum, With A Brief History Of Ichthyology At Yale University, Jon Moore, Richard Boardman

Postilla

All known type specimens in the fish collection of the Division of Vertebrate Zoology, Peabody Museum of Natural History published prior to 1991 are listed. There are a total of 925 specimens representing 190 nominal species including 159 holotypes, 2 lectotypes, 24 syntypes of 13 nominal species, and paratypes and paralectotypes of 65 nominal species now found in our collection. Most of these specimens were described by David S. Jordan, Louis L. Mowbray, Charles Breder, Albert E. Parr, James E. Morrow, and Alfred W. Ebeling. The large majority of specimens were formerly part of the Bingham Oceanographic Collection which was …


New Observations On The Skull Of Hesperornis With Reconstructions Of The Bony Palate And Otic Region, Andrzej Elzanowski Aug 1991

New Observations On The Skull Of Hesperornis With Reconstructions Of The Bony Palate And Otic Region, Andrzej Elzanowski

Postilla

The skull of Hesperornis proves to be neognathous in the majority of diagnostic characters including the presence of the intrapterygoid joint. Most of the remaining characters, including those shared with the paleognaths, are primitive for Neornithes or all birds. In details of the braincase structure, Hesperornis is most similar to Enaliornis, Procellariiformes, Phaethon, and Fregata. A new reconstruction of the palate predicts the presence of the lacrimopalatine (uncinate) and the vomer.

An Implementation Of The Generalized Basis Reduction Algorithm For Integer Programming, William Cook, Thomas Rutherford, Herbert E. Scarf, David F. Shallcross Aug 1991

An Implementation Of The Generalized Basis Reduction Algorithm For Integer Programming, William Cook, Thomas Rutherford, Herbert E. Scarf, David F. Shallcross

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In recent years many advances have been made in solution techniques for specially structured 0–1 integer programming problems. In contrast, very little progress has been made on solving general (mixed integer) problems. This, of course, is not true when viewed from the theoretical side: Lenstra (1981) made a major breakthrough, obtaining a polynomial-time algorithm when the number of integer variables is fixed. We discuss a practical implementation of a Lenstra-like algorithm, based on the generalized basis reduction method of Lovasz and Scarf (1988). This method allows us to avoid the ellipsoidal approximations required in Lenstra’s algorithm. We report on the …

Comment On ‘To Criticize The Critics’, By Peter C.B. Phillips, Christopher A. Sims Jul 1991

Comment On ‘To Criticize The Critics’, By Peter C.B. Phillips, Christopher A. Sims

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In his paper “To Criticize the Critics” (1991), Peter Phillips discusses Bayesian methodology for time series models. The main point that Uhlig and I set out to make, however, was that careful consideration of the implications of the likelihood principle suggests that much of the recent work under the “unit root” label in the econometrics literature is being incorrectly interpreted in practice. We pointed out that time series models with possible unit roots are one of the few domains within which the implications of a likelihood principle approach to inference are difference, even in the large samples, from those of …


Transformations Of The Commodity Space, Behavioral Heterogeneity And The Aggregation Problem, Jean-Michel Grandmont Jul 1991

Transformations Of The Commodity Space, Behavioral Heterogeneity And The Aggregation Problem, Jean-Michel Grandmont

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The aggregation problem in demand analysis and exchange equilibrium is studied by putting restrictions on the shape of the distribution of the agents’ characteristics. This is done by exploiting the finite dimensional linear structure induced on demand functions by affine transformations of the commodity space (or household equivalence scales). Increasing the degree of behavioral heterogeneity in the household sector or more specifically, making the conditional distributions in each equivalence class of demand functions fiat enough, has an important regularizing influence on aggregate budget shares: market demand has a negative dominant diagonal Jacobian matrix, aggregate excess demand has the gross substitutability …


Bayesian Routes And Unit Roots: De Rebus Prioribus Semper Est Disputandum, Peter C.B. Phillips Jul 1991

Bayesian Routes And Unit Roots: De Rebus Prioribus Semper Est Disputandum, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper provides detailed responses to the following 8 discussants of my paper “To Criticize the Critics: An Objective Bayesian Analysis of Stochastic Trends”: Gary Koop and Mark Steel; Edward Leamer; In-Moo Kim and G. S. Maddala Dale J. Poirier; Peter C. Schotman and Herman K. van Dijk; James H. Stock; David Dejong and Charles H. Whiteman; and Christopher Sims. This reply puts new emphasis on the call made in the earlier paper for objective Bayesian analysis in time series; it underlines the need for a new approach, especially with regard to posterior odds testing; and it draws attention to …


Dynamic Structural Models: Problems And Prospects. Mixed Continuous Discrete Controls And Market Interactions, Ariel Pakes Jul 1991

Dynamic Structural Models: Problems And Prospects. Mixed Continuous Discrete Controls And Market Interactions, Ariel Pakes

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper reviews dynamic structural econometric models with both continuous and discrete controls, and those with market interactions. Its goal is to highlight techniques which enable researchers to obtain estimates of the parameters of models with these characteristics, and then use the estimates in subsequent descriptive and policy analysis. In an attempt to increase the accessibility of structural modeling, emphasis has been laid on estimation techniques which, though consistent with the underlying structural model, are computationally simple. The extent to which this is possible depends on the characteristics of the applied problem of interest, so the paper ends up covering …


The Ecology Of Markets, William D. Nordhaus Jul 1991

The Ecology Of Markets, William D. Nordhaus

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The notion that “everything is connected to everything else” runs through all of modern economics. Economies are connected in the production sphere through the inputs and outputs that circulate through the world; they are connected through the exchange of goods and services; and they are connected by flows of funds through which some people or nations finance the economic activity of others. It is generally believed that the great macroeconomic crises of this century — the periodic banking panics, the Great Depression of the 1930’s, the debt crisis of the 1980’s, the breakdown in socialist economies of today — occurred …


How Fast Do Old Men Slow Down?, Ray C. Fair Jul 1991

How Fast Do Old Men Slow Down?, Ray C. Fair

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This study uses data on men’s track and field and road racing records by age to estimate the rate at which men slow down with age. For most of the running events (400 meters through the half marathon), the slowdown rate per year is estimated to be .80 percent between ages 35 and 51. At age 51 the rate begins to increase. It is 1.04 percent at age 60, 1.46 percent at age 75, and 2.01 percent at age 95. The slowdown rate is smaller for 100 meters. For the events longer than the half marathon, the rate is smaller …
