The Game of Life, invented by John Horton Conway over 30 years ago, is probably the best known cellular automaton. An infinite rectangular grid divides the plane into squares called cells. Each cell can be dead or alive, but at any given moment only finitely many cells are alive. Each cell has eight neighbors. The evolution in (discrete) time follows simple rules: if at the moment n a cell is a...

The purpose of this symposium is to consider the implications of important recent work at the intersection of behavioral economics and information privacy. There is much to celebrate in this work, which has improved our understanding of the ways that markets in personal information actually function. Yet behavioral economic analysis has done little to defuse the most intractable problem that em...

Introduction: We have developed a model to calculate the cooling rate (or burial depth) by using the Fe-Mg chemical zoning profile of olivine, considering diffusional modification of zoning profiles as crystals grow by fractional crystallization from a melt [e.g., 1]. We applied the model to calculating cooling rates of olivines in the Semarkona (LL3.00) chondrite [2]. In this abstract, we appl...

In most transport planning studies one of the first steps is the definition of a zoning scheme with which the study area is divided and the corresponding space is disaggregated. There are no clear rules on how to carry out this operation in an optimal way, and the dominating practice is to do it based on experience, trying to mix a certain degree of within-zone homogeneity and the convenience o...

Present study is aimed at evaluating the effect of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) on anxiety and irrational beliefs among infertile women. To assess the level of anxiety and irrational beliefs, 50 infertile women were selected randomly from Mediwave IVF and fertility research hospital in Mysore city and were administered Cattle questionnaires for surveying anxiety and The shortened ge...

objective: this study aimed to compare irrational beliefs, defense mechanisms and marital satisfaction in fertile and  infertile women. materials and methods: this study was a causal comparative survey performed on 30 fertile and 30 infertile women chosen by available and simple random sampling out of the whole clients referred to vali-e-asr reproductive health research center from february 200...
