Recent discoveries in behavioral economics have led scholars to question the underpinnings of neoclassical economics. We use insights gained from one of the most influential lines of behavioral research—gift exchange—in an attempt to maximize worker effort in two quite distinct tasks: data entry for a university library and door-to-door fundraising for a research center. In support of the recei...

Abstract This article examines gift-giving within the Persian empire and its perception in Greek literary sources. Gift-giving world was often framed language of friendship, authors subsequently articulated traditions using cultural norms their intended audience. There were fundamental differences concepts gift-exchange reciprocity between Greeks Persians. will examine followed by gift-giving, ...

In this paper, the implications of applying the idea of gift exchange mechanism, inspired from Pierre Bourdieu's sociological theories, into a market-based multiagent system are explored. Our work is directed in the continuation of investigations by Knabe (2002), who addressed the formation of different organizations structures between providers in a profit-oriented market. We nevertheless scru...

GIFT, a lightweight block cipher proposed at CHES2017, has been widely cryptanalyzed this years. This paper studies the differential diffusion characteristics of round function GIFT first, and proposes random nibble-based fault attack. The key recovery scheme is developed on statistical properties we found for distribution table S-box. A lot experiments had done experimental results show that o...

The title of my lecture is “Nature’s gift to Science.” It is not a lecture about one scientific journal paying respects to another, but about how the great diversity of the living world can both inspire and serve innovation in biological research. Current ideas of the uses of Model Organisms spring from the exemplars of the past and choosing the right organism for one’s research is as important...

In this paper, we propose a novel geospatial image and video filtering tool (GIFT) to select the most relevant input images and videos for computer vision applications with geo-tagged mobile videos. GIFT tightly couples mobile media content and their geospatial metadata for fine granularity video manipulation in the spatial and temporal domain and intelligently indexes field of views (FOVs) to ...

titlan in the Valley of Mexico, that Aztec city was the capital of a far-flung tributary empire. The emperor Motecuhzoma sat atop a complex social and political hierarchy, and the Aztec populace owed allegiance and tribute to nobles at several levels. Below the emperor were the kings of subject city-states. The Aztec dominion employed a policy of indirect rule, and imperial authorities supporte...

This paper presents the 2005 MIRACLE’s team participation in the ImageCLEFmed task of ImageCLEF 2005. This task certainly requires the use of image retrieval techniques and therefore it is mainly aimed at image analysis research groups. Although our areas of expertise don’t include image analysis research, we decided to make the effort to participate in this task to promote and encourage multid...

In reconfigurable systems, reconfiguration latency has a significant impact on the system performance. In this work, a temporal partitioning algorithm is presented to partition data flow graphs for reconfigurable computing systems. Life-time of a node in a data flow graph represents the number of times it executes during the application run. A new factor, called residing eligibility, inspired f...

We consider the non-linear properties and boundaries in the three forms of sharing, gift, and reselling economy. We decode the economic rationality and marketplace mechanisms in today’s ever booming sharing/gifting/reselling networks. We contribute to the fundamental economics literature by decomposing a merchandise into two parts: the ownership good and the detached good. The ownership good ca...
