Sex, Power and Consent: Youth Culture and the Unwritten Rules

Green gimmicks for greenbacks.

The fluorescent stain Hoechst 33342, when injected i.v. into mice, has an LD50 of 300 gg-1. The stain exits rapidly from the blood, with a half-life of 110 sec following an injection of I0sg g-1, but remains bound within target cells, redistributing with a half-life longer than 2 h. This results in a gradient of drug binding outward from capillaries which can be used to estimate regional perfus...

Normalising Audio Transcriptions for Unwritten Languages

The task of documenting the world’s languages is a mainstream activity in linguistics which is yet to spill over into computational linguistics. We propose a new task of transcription normalisation as an algorithmic method for speeding up the process of transcribing audio sources, leading to text collections of usable quality. We report on the application of sentence and word alignment algorith...

Unwritten rules: virtual bargaining underpins social interaction, culture, and society

Many social interactions require humans to coordinate their behavior across a range of scales. However, aspects of intentional coordination remain puzzling from within several approaches in cognitive science. Sketching a new perspective, we propose that the complex behavioral patterns - or 'unwritten rules' - governing such coordination emerge from an ongoing process of 'virtual bargaining'. So...
