Organizational Control Systems and Pay-for-Performance in the Public Service
No full textUnder certain conditions, output related performance measurement and pay-for-performance produce negative outcomes. We argue that in public service, these negative effects are stronger than in the private sector. We combine Behavioural Economics and Management Control Theory to determine under which conditions this is the case. We suggest as alternatives to the dominant output related pay-for-performance systems selection and socialization, exploratory use of output performance measures, and awards
Jon Frey, Michigan State University professor of Art and Art History talks about the reuse of building materials in late Roman and Byzantine buildings and into the Medieval period
No full textJon Frey, Michigan State University professor of Art and Art History and author of "Spolia in fortifications and the common builder in late antiquity", talks about the reuse of building materials in late Roman and Byzantine buildings and into the Medieval period, especially those elements with Latin or Greek inscriptions. Frey talks about literacy rates during those periods and asks if the elements were actually meant to be read or if it was sufficient to the builder that they be recognized simply as ancient writing. Frey is introduced by the Head of the Fine Arts Library, Terrie Wilson
Aphaniosoma suboculicauda Frey 1958

Awad leg.; light trap; NMWC • 1 ♀; same collection data as for preceding; Oct.1999; NMWC • 1 ♀; same collection data as for preceding; 5 Jan.– 2 Feb. 1998; NMWC.</p> Remarks <p> Frey’s description is accurate, and he likens this species to <i>A. oculicauda</i> based on colour pattern, but this is now known to be unreliable. However, the general appearance and the chaetotaxy (fronto-orbitals, pair of setae in front of ocellar triangle and 1 strong dorsocentral) place it in the same group of species as <i>A. fissum</i>, <i>A. lamellatum</i> and <i>A. oculicauda</i>. Frey’s figure of the hypopygium is difficult to interpret. The type series was examined by the present author and the hyopygium illustrated in more detail (Ebejer 2009: 408, fig. 52). Until now this species was thought to be endemic to the Cape Verde Islands. Its presence in Yemen would suggest that it is probably more widespread in the eremic zone between West Africa and Arabia.</p> Distribution <p>Cape Verde Islands (Frey 1958b).

Santa Cruz, San José de Chiquitos [17°50’04.6’’S, 60°45’01.7’’W], X.26, Lindner, 1 male (NHMB). ARGENTINA. Formosa: Ingeniero Juárez, 24º05’27’’S 61º56’49’’W, 13.XII.2008, Ocampo, San Blas, & Campón, mercury vapor & ultraviolet light, 4 males and 3 females (IADIZA). Diagnosis. Length: 9.0– 10.2 mm; width: 4.2–4.7 mm. Body and pronotum reddish brown, elongate, sides almost parallel; elytra testaceous, glabrous, opaque, somewhat pruinose (Fig. 19A); clypeal emargination very shallow, rounded and wide, in males as wide as the distance between eyes; outer sides of anterior teeth following the clypeal lateral margin; clypeal lateral margin straight or concave; antennae with 10 antennomeres; pronotal posterior corners sharp, in obtuse angle (Fig. 19B); mesotibia quadrate in cross section; two transverse carinae posteriorly, the apical incomplete or weakly complete; pygidium flat; subtrapezoidal; pygidial disc with short, thick, erect bristles throughout (Fig. 19D); in males, inner margin of metatibia strongly carinate straight towards apex; tarsi abundantly with bristles dorsally, protarsomere II as long as it is wide; parameres widened medially and abruptly narrowed sub-basally; parameral split slightly beyond the midline; apex spatulate (Fig. 19E); parameres in lateral view straight, not coplanar (Fig. 19F). Type locality. ARGENTINA, Formosa, Puerto Pilcomayo. Geographical distribution. BOLIVIA (Santa Cruz); ARGENTINA (Salta, Formosa). Remarks. Liogenys rectangula resembles L. moseri Frey, 1969 (Cherman et al. 2017, 2019a) in the body size and color, in the shape and vestiture of pygidium, and in the protarsi abundantly with bristles. Liogenys rectangula differs from L. moseri (in parenthesis) mainly in the clypeus laterally straight, without tooth-like projection (convex, with a sharp tooth-like projection) and in the elytra in general pruinose (shiny or slightly semiopaque in some specimens). Frey (1969) described L. rectangula from a series collected in Pilcomayo, Formosa, Argentina; the holotype was deposited at the USNM and the paratypes (Frey did not state the number) at NHMB. At the USNM the specimen deposited by Frey bears a paratype label instead. At the NHMB, specimens with type label found are from other localities but the one stated by Frey (1969): one specimen is from “San José Chiquitos” (Bolivia) and other is from “ Salta, Dep. Rivadavia” (Argentina), with holotype and paratype labels, respectively. As they are not from the type locality stated by the author, they are not considered types. There is another paratype specimen deposited at the MZSP, which is from Formosa Ciudad (Argentina). As the author did not state the ocurrences from Chiquitos (Bolivia) and Salta (Argentina) in the original description, we consider them as new L. rectangula state and country records, respectively.Published as part of Cherman, Mariana Alejandra, Basílio, Daniel Silva, Mise, Kleber Makoto, Frisch, Johannes & Almeida, Lúcia Massutti De, 2021, Liogenys Guérin-Méneville, 1831 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae Diplotaxini) from the Chacoan Province and its boundaries: taxonomic overview with four new species, pp. 1-59 in Zootaxa 4938 (1) on pages 43-45, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4938.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/456125
Weak and Strong Type A 1 –A ∞ Estimates for Sparsely Dominated Operators
No full textWe consider operators T satisfying a sparse domination property (Formula presented.)with averaging exponents (Formula presented.). We prove weighted strong type boundedness for (Formula presented.) and use new techniques to prove weighted weak type (Formula presented.) boundedness with quantitative mixed (Formula presented.)–(Formula presented.) estimates, generalizing results of Lerner, Ombrosi, and Pérez and Hytönen and Pérez. Even in the case (Formula presented.) we improve upon their results as we do not make use of a Hörmander condition of the operator T. Moreover, we also establish a dual weak type (Formula presented.) estimate. In a last part, we give a result on the optimality of the weighted strong type bounds including those previously obtained by Bernicot, Frey, and Petermichl.Analysi
Research in engineering design: the role of mathematical theory and empirical evidence
No full textThe editors of this journal have offered an opportunity to
reply to Dr. Hazelrigg’s letter in depth. Indeed, with its
numerous points of critique of the paper ‘‘The Pugh Controlled
Convergence method’’ (Frey et al. 2009) stated so
strongly, the letter demands a detailed rebuttal. We provide
a response to the specific points discussed in the letter as
well as the broader issues raised. Writing on these topics
has been an opportunity to explore some issues of interest
to us, including the role of mathematical theory and
empirical science in design research. To pursue this fully,
additional authors participated to add more varied expertise
on social sciences, preference measurement, and industry
practices. We hope that our response will do more than
defend the paper; we hope that it will also suggest some
constructive paths forward in design research.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (grant #0448972

Scutum yellow with lateral margin behind postpronotum and long central vitta brown; central vitta sometimes continuing to anterior margin as lighter stripe. Scutellum and katatergite brown; anatergite and mediotergite piceous or brown. Pleuron yellow with anepisternum, anepimeron, proepisternum and katatergite dark brown. Legs yellow with fore tibia and tarsi dark brown, and mid coxa with small light brown spot medially. Halter entirely white. Wing very lightly clouded. M 1 + 2 ratio 3.0. Abdomen mostly dark brown, yellow to light brown past segment 7. Holotype: PHILIPPINES. Samar, Catbalogan, iv. 1915 (1 ♀, NHMW). Additional material examined: PHILIPPINES. Mt. Malindang, 8.x. 1981, T. Borromeo, “misamis occidental, 1000m ” (1 ♀, BMNH). Comments. This species was recombined in Sasakawa (2011) based on observations of the type specimen made by the present author. While male genitalic features are not present to confirm this combination, external characters of the wing, head and bristle number and arrangement correspond exactly to species here considered to belong to the Sobarocephala plumicornis species group as discussed above.Published as part of Lonsdale, Owen, 2014, Revision of the Old World Sobarocephala (Diptera: Clusiidae), pp. 211-240 in Zootaxa 3760 (2) on page 221, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3760.2.4, http://zenodo.org/record/22957
