Is Bigger Better? Vehicle Size and Driver Perceptions of Safety
Large, high mass vehicles have poor fuel efficiency and a high level of pollutant emissions when compared with lighter vehicles (Beydoun & Guldmann, 2006). Despite tangible fuel savings and the environmental benefits of smaller vehicles, the New Zealand public are driving larger vehicles, with mean engine size increasing from 1.9L to 2.1L from 1990 to 2004 (MOT, 2006). A similar trend is observ...
متن کاملWhen is bigger better? The effects of group size on the evolution of helping behaviours.
Understanding the evolution of sociality in humans and other species requires understanding how selection on social behaviour varies with group size. However, the effects of group size are frequently obscured in the theoretical literature, which often makes assumptions that are at odds with empirical findings. In particular, mechanisms are suggested as supporting large-scale cooperation when th...
متن کامل802.11 Buffers: When Bigger Is Not Better?
While there have been considerable advances in the modelling of 802.11’s MAC layer in recent years, 802.11 with finite buffer space is considered difficult to analyse. In this paper, we study the impact of finite buffers’ effect on the 802.11 performance, in view of the requirements of interactive applications sensitive to delay and packet loss. Using both state-of-the art and simplified queuei...
متن کاملEvolution of the human brain: when bigger is better
Comparative studies of the brain in mammals suggest that there are general architectural principles governing its growth and evolutionary development. We are beginning to understand the geometric, biophysical and energy constraints that have governed the evolution and functional organization of the brain and its underlying neuronal network. The object of this review is to present current perspe...
متن کاملIs Bigger Always Better ? The Effect of Size on Defaults
Analyzing a large sample of Italian firms we find that the probability of default increases with size. This contrasts with the common observation, based on measures of exit from business registry data, that firms’ death rate is inversely related to the scale of their operation and suggests a rethinking of the economic role of larger companies. We gratefully acknowledge financial support from MI...
