Abstract Climate variability can regulate aquatic methane fluxes as increasing temperatures can elevate microbial metabolic rates, including methanogenesis. It is less well known how climate‐induced variability in seasonal precipitation and runoff might affect methane concentrations and fluxes in aquatic ecosystems.

ABSTRACT We examine how non‐CEO executives (NCEs) serving on outside boards affect their focal firm performance. Firms with such NCEs exhibit lower return on asset (ROA) and profit margins than those without. These effects begin after board service starts, are not explained by busy boards or CEOs, and persist at least a year.

Strategic Flip‐Flopping in Political Competition
ABSTRACT We study candidates' position adjustments in response to information about voters' preferences. Repositioning allows candidates to move closer to the median voter, but it incurs financial and electoral costs. In a subgame‐perfect equilibrium, candidates diverge from the center ex ante if the costs of adjustment are sufficiently large.

A structured argumentation framework for detaching conditional obligations
We present a general formal argumentation system for dealing with the detachment of conditional obligations. Given a set of facts, constraints, and conditional obligations, we answer the question whether an unconditional obligation is detachable by ...

Precise Propagation of Upper and Lower Probability Bounds in System P
In this paper we consider the inference rules of System P in the framework of coherent imprecise probabilistic assessments. Exploiting our algorithms, we propagate the lower and upper probability bounds associated with the conditional assertions of a ...

Nonmonotonic reasoning in probabilistics [PDF]
In probabilistics, reasoning at optimum entropy (ME-reasoning) has proved to be a most sound and consistent method for inference. This paper investigates its properties in the framework of nonmonotonic reasoning. In particular, we show that ME-reasoning satisfies cumulativity and loop, and we focus on its connection to conditionals.
