iuseppe Dari Mattiacci-Francesco Parisi The Economics of Tort Law: A Precis ABSTRACT: Economic analysis has long been employed for the study of tort liability. This paper revisits the main contributions to the subject emphasizing the inherent impossibility for tort liability to set perfectly efficient first-best incentives to take precaution for all parties to an accident and the need to choose among second best

In this course we will study Classical Mechanics. Particle motion in Classical Mechanics is governed by Newton's laws and is sometimes referred to as Newtonian Mechanics. These laws are empirical in that they combine observations from nature and some intuitive concepts. Newton's laws of motion are not self evident. For instance, in Aristotelian mechanics before Newton, force was thought to be required in order

Intensive Study There's a Lot More to Life than a Job Para.1 It has often been remarked that the saddest thing about youth is that it is wasted on the young. Para. 2 Reading a survey report on first-year college students, I recalled the regret, \If only knew then what know now

In the chapter we shall introduce the study of circuits characterized by a single energy-storage element--a capacitor or a inductor. It will be shown that the equations describing such a circuit may be put in a form involving an unknown variable and its first derivative. Such an equation is referred to as a first-order differential equation, thus we shall refer to circuits which contain only a single energy-storage element as first-order circuits

In this chapter we shall show how the phasor methods developed to analyze circuits operating under sinusoidal steady- state conditions can be applied to the study of three-phase ac circuits

In the chapter we shall study the properties of second-order circuits, i.e., circuits containing two energy-storage elements. Such circuits will, in general, be characterized by second-order differential equations

5.1 The Meaning of Regression Analysis 1.Regression analysisthe study of the relationship between one variable Y (the explained, or dependent variable) and one or more other variables X/Xs (explanatory, or independent variables)

We will start by studying the motion of a particle. We think of particle as a body which has mass, but has negligible dimensions. Treating bodies as particles is, of course, an idealization which involves an approximation. This approximation may be perfectly acceptable in some situations and not adequate in some other cases. For instance, if we want to study the motion of planets it is common to consider each planet as a particle

Abstract-We study tight wavelet frames associated with given refinable func tions which are obtained with the unitary extension principles. All possible solu- tions of the corresponding matrix equations are found. It is proved that the problem
