How does partisan identification shape the attitudes of US military officers toward protection civilians in war? Drawing on unique cross-cohort surveys soon-to-be commissioned 12 Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) training battalions, we find that Democratic-leaning cadets generally prioritize norms civilian more than Republican-leaning when confronted with competing values advantage ...

Existing studies on predicting election results are under the assumption that all the users should be treated equally. However, recent work [14] shows that social media users from different groups (e.g., “silent majority” vs. “vocal minority”) have significant differences in the generated content and tweeting behavior. The effect of these differences on predicting election results has not been ...

But pundits’ opinions and news coverage are often marked by a clear political bias, as widely evidenced during the fiercely contested 2012 U.S. presidential elections.

Presently there exists partisan controversies state-level legislation in United States regarding Critical Race Theory (CRT).

Membrane bioreactor technology exists for a couple of decades, but has not yet overwhelmed the market due to some serious drawbacks of which operational cost due to fouling is the major contributor. Knowledge buildup and optimisation for such complex systems can heavily benefit from mathematical modelling. In this paper, the vast literature on hydrodynamic and integrated MBR modelling is critic...

Leaning toward user requirements and constructing a standard method to build up a high-quality application in limited developing time, and enhancing the model flexibility for user to change their requirements in time are main objectives of this research. In this study, we created ontology to represent user domain in a deposit system, including operation procedure, entity, interaction and action...

We provide a model of rational bubbles in a DNK framework. Entrepreneurs are heterogeneous in investment efficiency and face credit constraints. They can trade bubble assets to raise their net worth. The bubble assets command a liquidity premium and can have a positive value. Monetary policy affects the conditions for the existence of a bubble, its steady-state size, and its dynamics including ...
