JEL Classification Code(s): J 31, J 71) "Perceptions of Discrimination, Effort to Obtain Psychological Balance, and Relative Wages: Can We Infer a Happiness Gradient?" There is a substantial literature that finds a linkage between happiness and relative economic well being as measured by earnings or wages. There is also a well documented racial gap in wages. One explanation for this is disparat...

We present detections of the CO(J = 1–0) emission line in a sample of four massive star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 1.5 − 2.2 obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). Combining these observations with previous CO(2–1) and CO(3–2) detections of these galaxies, we study the excitation properties of the molecular gas in our sample sources. We find an average line brightness temperature...

In this paper, by the studying of the Gauss map, Laplacian operator, curvatures of surfaces in R 1 and Bour’s theorem, we are going to identify surfaces of revolution with pointwise 1-type Gauss map property in 3−dimensional Minkowski space. Introduction The classification of submanifolds in Euclidean and Non-Euclidean spaces is one of the interesting topics in differential geometry and in this...

An important question in taste research is how 25 receptors of the human TAS2R family detect thousands of structurally diverse compounds. An answer to this question may arise from the observation that TAS2Rs in general are broadly tuned to interact with numerous substances. Ultimately, interaction with chemically diverse agonists requires architectures of binding pockets tailored to combine fle...

White mold caused by the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary limits common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in temperate climates. Disease resistance has been identifi ed, but breeding is hampered by a paucity of resistance sources and complex inheritance, as numerous quantitative trait loci (QTL) conditioning partial resistance have been found. Our objectives wer...

This paper considers two methods for pricing assets and examines the relations between them. The +rst method is based on the principle of no-arbitrage, which asserts that introduction of the new asset should not create an arbitrage in a market that was before arbitrage free. This condition is satis+ed by prices for the new asset between speci+c lower and upper limits, determined as the values o...
