Biased News Media and the Swing Voter's Decision in Repeated Games
The Manchester School, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We consider a monopolistic, biased news media platform that attempts to influence the decision of swing voters with cheap talk when voting is costly and abstaining is an option. First, we demonstrate that, while no fully communicative equilibrium exists in a stage game, a partially truth‐revealing mixed‐strategy equilibrium exists.

Non mean reverting affne processes for stochastic mortality [PDF]
In this paper we use doubly stochastic processes (or Cox processes) in order to model the random evolution of mortality of an individual. These processes have been widely used in the credit risk literature in modelling default arrival, and in this ...

Supremum-Norm Convergence for Step-Asynchronous Successive Overrelaxation on M-matrices [PDF]
, 2014 Step-asynchronous successive overrelaxation updates the values contained in a single vector using the usual Gau\ss-Seidel-like weighted rule, but arbitrarily mixing old and new values, the only constraint being temporal coherence: you cannot use a value ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Legume plants can interact with nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) simultaneously, forming a tripartite symbiotic association. Co‐inoculation studies performed on a variety of legumes have shown that rhizobia and AMF influence each other when they co‐occur in tripartite association and affect host plant ...

On the sub-optimality cost of immediate annuitization in DC pension funds [PDF]
We consider the position of a member of a defined contribution (DC) pension scheme having the possibility of taking programmed withdrawals at retirement.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hairy‐root transformation is widely used to generate transgenic plant roots for genetic functional characterisation studies. However, transformation efficiency can be limited, largely due to the use of binary vectors. Here, we report on the development of novel integrative vectors that significantly increase the transformation efficiency of ...

A note on stochastic survival probabilities and their calibration. [PDF]
In this note we use doubly stochastic processes (or Cox processes) in order to model the evolution of the stochastic force of mortality of an individual aged x.

Double Neutron Star Populations and Formation Channels
, 2019 In the past five years, the number of known double neutron stars (DNS) in the Milky Way has roughly doubled. We argue that the observed sample can be split into three distinct sub-populations based on their orbital characteristics: (i) short-period, low ...
