Bargaining, Yield Curves, and Wage Settlements: An Empirical Analysis

It has been found that the mass yield curves for 232Th, 233U, 235U, 238U and 239pU neutron fission can be fitted, with an accuracy of better than 20 %, by the superposition of two pairs of asymmetric gaussian curves and a single symmetric gaussian curve. The parameters of the fit have been investigated as a function of the nuclear temperature at the saddle point of the fissioning compound nucleus, and the widths and positions are found to vary linearly with this temperature. In addition, broad peaks are found in the weights of the gaussians, the weights being related to partial fission cross sections. This empirical analysis has been compared with the predictions of the Nix (1969) model of fission and deficiencies in the existing theory are discussed.

Abstract. In this article, the authors provide an empirical analysis of the obtrusiveness of and participants' compliance with a relatively new psychological ambulatory assessment method, called the electronically activated recorder or EAR. The EAR is a modified portable audio-recorder that periodically records snippets of ambient sounds from participants' daily environments. In tracking moment-to-moment ambient sounds, the EAR yields an acoustic log of a person's day as it unfolds. As a naturalistic observation sampling method, it provides an observer's account of daily life and is optimized for the assessment of audible aspects of participants' naturally-occurring social behaviors and interactions. Measures of self-reported and behaviorally-assessed EAR obtrusiveness and compliance were analyzed in two samples. After an initial 2-h period of relative obtrusiveness, participants habituated to wearing the EAR and perceived it as fairly unobtrusive both in a short-term (2 days, N = 96) and a longer-term (10-11 days, N = 11) monitoring. Compliance with the method was high both during the short-term and longer-term monitoring. Somewhat reduced compliance was identified over the weekend; this effect appears to be specific to student populations. Important privacy and data confidentiality considerations around the EAR method are discussed.
