Strategy-proof choice of acts : a preliminary study
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2016-06)
We model social choices as acts mapping states of the world to (social) outcomes. A (social choice) rule assigns an act to every profile of subjective expected utility preferences over acts. A rule is strategy-proof if no ...
Longitudinal links between gambling participation and academic performance in youth : a test of four models
Gambling participation and academic achievement
(Springer, 2018-09-30)
Gambling participation and low academic performance are related during adolescence, but the causal mechanisms underlying this link are unclear. It is possible that gambling participation impairs academic performance. ...
Hydrogen analysis depth calibration by CORTEO Monte-Carlo simulation
(Elsevier, 2015-10-21)
Hydrogen imaging with sub-μm lateral resolution and sub-ppm sensitivity has become possible with coincident proton–proton (pp) scattering analysis (Reichart et al., 2004). Depth information is evaluated from the energy sum ...
Age at first febrile seizure correlates with perinatal maternal emotional symptoms
(2017-09-30)
Objective: Prenatal exposure to stress and fever are factors lowering seizure threshold in animal models. The
fever effect on seizure threshold is well documented in human infants, however the associations between ...
A longitudinal empirical investigation of the pathways model of problem gambling
Longitudinal investigation of the pathways model
(Springer, 2017-12-31)
Background and Aims: The Pathways Model of Problem Gambling suggests the existence of
three developmental pathways to problem gambling, each differentiated by a set of predisposing
biopsychosocial characteristics: ...
Ordinally consistent tournament solutions
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2016-03)
A set ranking method assigns to each tournament on a given set an ordering of the subsets of that set. Such a method is consistent if (i) the items in the set are ranked in the same order as the sets of items they beat and ...
Reconstruction of machine-made shapes from bitmap sketches
(Association for computing machinery, 2023-12)
We propose a method of reconstructing 3D machine-made shapes from
bitmap sketches by separating an input image into individual patches and
jointly optimizing their geometry. We rely on two main observations: (1)
human ...
Continuity and Incentive Compatibility in Cardinal Voting Mechanisms
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2016-03)
We show that every cardinal incentive compatible voting mechanism satisfying a continuity condition, must be ordinal. Our results apply to many standard models in mechanism design without transfers, including the standard ...
A mindfulness-based intervention pilot easibility study for elementary school students with severe learning difficulties : effects on internalized and externalized symptoms from an emotional regulation perspective
(Sage Publications, 2016-12-30)
Objective.
Students with severe learning disabilities often show signs of anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors such as inattention and conduct problems. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in school settings ...
(Il)legal Assignments in School Choice
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2017-05)
In public school choice, students with strict preferences are assigned to schools.
Schools are endowed with priorities over students. Incorporating different constraints
from applications, priorities are often modeled ...
