Decreasing Serial Cost Sharing under Economies of Scale [PDF]
Journal of Economic Theory, 1998 We consider the problem of cost sharing in the presence of increasing returns to scale and potential strategic behavior on the part of consumers. We show that any smooth and strictly monotonic mechanism for which a Nash equilibrium exists for all profiles of convex and monotonic preferences must be dictatorial.

Superfluid Helium in Three-Dimensional Counterflow Differs Strongly from Classical Flows : Anisotropy on Small Scales [PDF]
, 2019 Three-dimensional anisotropic turbulence in classical fluids tends towards isotropy and homogeneity with decreasing scales, allowing-eventually-the abstract model of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence to be relevant.

Advances in Meteorology, 2016 The physical-based drought indices such as the self-calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index (sc-PDSI) with the fixed time scale is inadequate for the multiscalar drought assessment, and the multiscalar drought indices including Standardized ...

Empirical Evidence for Decreasing Returns to Scale in a Health Capital Model [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012 We estimate a health investment equation, derived from a health capital model that is an extension of the well-known Grossman model. Of particular interest is whether the health production function has constant returns to scale, as in the standard Grossman model, or decreasing returns to scale, as in the Ehrlich-Chuma model and extensions thereof.

Decreased attention to object size information in scale errors performers [PDF]
Infant Behavior and Development, 2017 Young children sometimes make serious attempts to perform impossible actions on miniature objects as if they were full-size objects. The existing explanations of these curious action errors assume (but never explicitly tested) children's decreased attention to object size information.

A Maxwell demon that can work at macroscopic scales
, 2022 Maxwell's demons work by rectifying thermal fluctuations. They are not expected to function at macroscopic scales where fluctuations become negligible and dynamics become deterministic.

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2013 Materials show size effects in their strength, i.e., improved strength as size decreases. Size effects have been studied extensively at a wide range of scales, from atomistic to continuum.
