We compare the behavior of car mechanics and college students as sellers in experimental credence goods markets. Finding largely similar behavior, we note much more overtreatment by car mechanics, probably due to decision heuristics they learned in their professional training. JEL classifications: C91, D82, C72

Body mechanics in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans are central to both mechanosensation and locomotion. Previous work revealed that the mechanics of the outer shell, rather than internal hydrostatic pressure, dominates stiffness. This shell is comprised of the cuticle and the body wall muscles, either of which could contribute to the body mechanics. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the mu...

backgroundbody image is a determinant of individual attractiveness and physical activity among the young people. this study was aimed to assess the association of trans-theoretical model based exercise behavior change with body image evaluation among the female iranian students.materials and methodsthis cross-sectional study was conducted in sanandaj city, iran in 2016. using multistage samplin...

heat stress is a significant occupational health and safety for workers in petrochemical industries. heat stress is a combination of heat load individual and environmental factors impose on workers’ bodies, which in turn, have impacts on workers’ performance, safety, and health. the present paper is carried out to determine the heat stress levels in workplace and to compare it with allowed wet ...

The recently discovered nonequilibrium turbulence dissipation law implies the existence of axisymmetric turbulent wake regions where the mean flow velocity deficit decays as the inverse of the distance from the wake-generating body and the wake width grows as the square root of that distance. This behavior is different from any documented boundary-free turbulent shear flow to date. Its existenc...
