Continuous and Step-level Pay-off Functions in Public Good Games: A Conceptual Analysis
No full textConflicts between individuals’ and collective interests are ubiquitous in social life. Numerous experimental studies have investigated the resolution of such conflicts using public good games with either continuous or step-level payoff functions. A conceptual analysis using both classic game theory and social exchange theory shows that these two types of games are fundamentally different. A continuous function game is a social dilemma in that it contains a conflict between individual and collective interests whereas a step-level game is primarily a social coordination game. Thus, we conclude that one can not safely generalize results from step-level to continuous form games. Additionally, our analysis shows that the distinction between continuous and single-step games can be blurred by segmenting a continuous function into steps or adding steps to a single-step game. We identify characteristics of the payoff function that conceptually mark the transition from a dilemma to a coordination problem.
A. W. Abele letter to Leonard Wood League, January 16, 1920
No full textDated January 16, 1920, in this letter from A. W. Abele, Secretary of the Roosevelt Headquarters, to the Leonard Wood League, Abele regretfully informs the League that the Tenth Congressional District of Ohio will be sending two delegates to the convention in support of Senator Harding. Abele argues that Wood shouldn't seek delegates from Ohio because, as an Ohio native, Harding is entitled to the state's delegates, and lists five supporting reasons.
This letter is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I
A. W. Abele letter to Warren G. Harding, May 14, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated May 14, 1920, A. W. Abele, Treasurer of The Etna Building & Loan Company in Ironton, Ohio, writes to Senator Warren G. Harding concerning the political situation in Indiana and a mutual friend, A. R. Johnson. Abele suggests that Johnson, as National Committeeman for the Republican National Convention, could generate more support for Harding's presidential campaign "than that traitor in Cincinnati," which probably refers to Rudolph Hynicka. He concludes by pledging his support, and hoping for Harding's nomination at the National Republican Convention in June.

Remarks. Pachycheles susanae can be most easily recognised by the presence of two large elongate patches on the carapace, just lateral to the cardiac region, and the ambulatory pereiopods covered by very thick setae, which often accumulate sediment particles and possibly microscopic epibionts (Figs. 28, 29; see also a black-and-white photograph in Lira et al. 2012).Published as part of Ferreira, Luciane Augusto De Azevedo & Anker, Arthur, 2021, An annotated and illustrated checklist of the porcelain crabs of Panama (Decapoda: Anomura), pp. 1-154 in Zootaxa 5045 (1) on page 55, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5045.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/553217

Mostly ivory-whitish with pinkish tinge in some areas due to presence of scattered reddish chromatophores (Fig. 11 f); one female had yellow-orange eggs.</p> <p> <b>Size</b>. The CL of the two females is 4.7 mm and 4.9 mm, the TL for both is 14.3 mm. The single male originally reported by Kim & Abele (1988) had a CL of 4.3 mm, whereas the two females both had a CL of 6.8 mm. Ramos’ (1995) three specimens were smaller, with 2.9 mm CL in the single male and 4.3–4.4 mm in the two females. Based on these data, the CL of adult <i>A. aequus</i> ranges from 2.9 to 6.8 mm.</p> <p> <b>Type locality</b>. Playa Blancas, Costa Rica (Kim & Abele, 1988).</p> <p> <b>Distribution</b>. Eastern Pacific: Costa Rica: Playa Blancas; Galapagos: Santa Fe (Kim & Abele, 1988); Panama: Coibita (Coiba Marine National Park) (present study); Colombia: Gorgona Island (Ramos, 1995).</p> <p> <b>Ecology</b>. The habitat of the holotype from Playa Blancas, Costa Rica, was described as “shore to 5.0 m; shale beach” and “shale beach between beach and rocky reef” (Kim & Abele, 1988). Other alpheids collected in this area were <i>Alpheus fasciatus</i> Lockington 1878 (reported as <i>A. paracrinitus</i> Miers, 1888) and <i>A. galapagensis</i> Sivertsen, 1933 (reported as <i>A. canalis</i> Kim & Abele, 1988). The two specimens from Santa Fe (Barrington) Island, Galapagos, were collected while “diving in bay, [at] about 5 m ”. Other alpheids occurring in this locality were <i>Alpheus bellimanus</i> Lockington, 1878 and <i>A. rostratus</i> Kim & Abele, 1988. Ramos’ (1995) specimens came from a tidal beach with coral sand (“playas de arena coralina”). No particular associations were noted by Kim & Abele (1988) or Ramos (1995). In contrast, the two Panamanian specimens of <i>A.</i></p> <p> <i>aequus</i> were found associated with medium-sized (body length 28 mm, diameter 11–12 mm, proboscis length 15 mm, proboscis diameter 3–5 mm) thalassematid echiurans, <i>Ochetostoma edax</i> (Fisher, 1926) (Fig. 12 e) in a mixed mud-rock intertidal of Coibita (Fig. 12 d). The burrows of <i>O. edax</i> are smoothly lined horizontal tunnels dug in muddy sand under partly mud-embedded rocks. The shrimps were observed sitting just next to their hosts. Notably, in both cases, only one shrimp per host was found, despite some efforts to find its potentially present mate by prospecting the immediate vicinity of the burrow.</p> <p> <b>Taxonomic remarks on host</b>. The finding of two specimens of <i>Ochetostoma edax</i> (identification by G.-V. Murina) at Coibita represents a considerable extension of the distribution range of this species from Baja California to Panama. The identity of <i>O</i>. cf. <i>edax</i> from the Atlantic (Caribbean) coast of Panama remains to be determined (see above).</p> <p> <b>Variation</b>. The two female specimens from Coibita agree well with the description and illustrations of <i>A. aequus</i> provided by Kim & Abele (1988), except for the length of the dactylus of the major chela, which reaches only slightly beyond the tip of the pollex in the Coibita specimens, and distinctly beyond the pollex in the holotype (cf.

Corpus loquens: the speaking body and Abele De Blasio (1858-1945)
No full textThis article provides a comprehensive overview of the work of Abele De Blasio (1858-1945), a pol-yhedral and eclectic figure of physician who cultivated a wide range of interests, from cultural an-thropology and ethnology to botanics, chemistry and dentistry. In particular, De Blasio is recog-nized as one of the founders and one of the most important representatives of Italian criminal an-thropology, thanks to his thorough knowledge and historical culture. He challenged the strict bio-medical paradigm of the period and combined a scientific and rigorous approach with a humanistic Weltanschauung, conjugating disciplines, such as archeology and psychopathology with biology, in such a way to give birth to a unique, innovative interdisciplinary approach. He applied this method, for example, when investigating deviant behaviors or when analyzing populations' customs and hab-its. He also studied trepanation and he considered analyzing the skull as the best way to investigate the different aspects of human life
Alpheus rostratus W. Kim & Abele 1988

Distribution. Alpheus cf. rostratus: Western Atlantic—Brazil (Bahia) (present study). Alpheus rostratus: Eastern Pacific—Gulf of California to Colombia (Kim & Abele 1988; Ramos 1995). Ecological notes. On coral reefs, in crevices of rocks and concretions of calcareous algae; also in estuaries (specimens found in palm tree roots on muddy bottom). Salinity range: 24–39 psu. Previous records. None. Remarks. This species is morphologically close to A. cf. paracrinitus but differs from it in the color pattern. Alpheus cf. rostratus has wide transverse bands on the carapace and abdomen and a pair of dark dorsal spots on the third abdominal somite (see Figs. 2 D and 2 E for comparison). A similar color pattern exists in the eastern Pacific A. rostratus, which belongs to the A. paracrinitus complex (A. Anker, pers. comm.). Some minor morphological differences were noted between A. cf. rostratus and A. rostratus, based on the original description and figures (Kim & Abele 1988). For example, A. cf. rostratus differs from A. rostratus by the more strongly produced distodorsal margin of the antepenultimate article of the third maxilliped. In A. cf. rostratus, the distolateral tooth of the scaphocerite extends slightly beyond the anterior margin of the blade, and the cleft between the blade and the tooth is approximately 1 / 3 of the total length of the scaphocerite. In cotrast, in A. rostratus, the distolateral tooth of the scaphocerite extends conspicuously beyond the anterior margin of the blade, and the cleft between the blade and the tooth slightly less than 1 / 2 of the total length of the scaphocerite. In A. rostratus, the tooth on the ventromesial carina of the antennular peduncle is concave, whereas in A. cf. rostratus, the anterior margin of this tooth is nearly straight. These differences, if shown to be valid and consistent, suggest that the Bahian material may belong to a new species close to A. rostratus. However, only a taxonomic revision of the entire A. paracrinitus complex will clarify the identity of A. cf. rostratus and A. cf. paracrinitus. Therefore, all records of A. paracrinitus from Brazil (Christoffersen 1998) need to be treated with a lot of caution.Published as part of Almeida, Alexandre O., Boehs, Guisla, Araújo-Silva, Catarina L. & Bezerra, Luis Ernesto A., 2012, Shallow-water caridean shrimps from southern Bahia, Brazil, including the first record of Synalpheus ul (Ríos & Duffy, 2007) (Alpheidae) in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, pp. 1-35 in Zootaxa 3347 on page 13, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21460
