Why is there little dust in elliptical galaxies? Here is a promising answer. Firstly, galaxies are rational. Rationality means that the density distribution of stars is proportional. Secondly, galaxy arms are linearly-shaped and irrational. The presence of arms is the disturbance to the rational disks and bars. Therefore, any disturbance to rational structure produces cosmic dust. c © Electroni...

The Ultimatum Game (UG) is a widely used and well-studied laboratory model of economic decision-making. Here, we studied 129 healthy adults and compared demographic (i.e., age, gender, education), cognitive (i.e., intelligence, attention/working memory, speed, language, visuospatial, memory, executive functions), and personality (i.e., "Big Five", positive affect, negative affect) variables bet...

The importance of structural biology has been highlighted in the past few years not only as part of drug discovery programs in the pharmaceutical industry but also by structural genomics programs. Mutations of human proteins have been long recognized as the source of severe diseases and a structural knowledge of the consequences of a mutation might open up new approaches of drugs and cure. Alth...

Evidence on the efficacy of breast screening from randomized controlled trials conducted in the last decades of the 1900s is reviewed. For decades, controversy about their results has centered on the magnitude of benefit in terms of breast cancer mortality reduction that can be achieved. However more recently, several expert bodies have estimated the benefits to be smaller than initially expect...

democray is the most importantn element in dewey’s thought. in this paper dewey’s theory on democray will be evaluated, furthermor some challenges are ascrbed to it: first, dewey has not presented any philosophical argument about his idea: “democracy is a moral ideal”. second: if it is known by a posteriori method that democracy is the best, this idea can not be generalized to future, so it cou...

Across many domains of decision making, people seem both rational and irrational. We review recent work that aims to reconcile these apparently contradictory views by modeling human decisions as optimal under a set cognitive resource constraints. This ‘resource-rational’ analysis connects psychology neuroscience ideas from engineering, economics, machine learning. Here, we focus on an informati...
