A high-speed interface has been designed for interconnection of the S/390 I/O subsystem to the IBM S/390 G5 processor. The self-timed interface (STI) provides high bandwidth, greater communication distances, and simpler timing within the S/390 servers than traditional interfaces. The STI communicates between the memory bus adapter and the expanded S/390 I/O subsystem, which now includes the new...

Opinions I t's a feeling we all remember: crossing the stage on graduation day. You were a somebody, and a new chapter of your life was about to begin. Your degree in hand, you headed to the real world to make your mark. For us, time has moved at warp speed since our MBA convocation in 2010, and this felt like an appropriate " anniversary " to reflect on our first two years as young MBAs workin...

A s those haunting dreams of failing an exam start to fade, older Americans are heading back to school. As many as 50% of enrolled students are now classified as " those returning to education, " according to research at the University of Missouri-Rolla. This trend makes perfect sense to Guruprasad Madhavan, who, following basic engineering training in instrumentation and control systems and gr...

7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, benz(a)anthracene, and benzo(a)pyrene as well as the 24 monomethylbenzo(a)pyrenes (MBPs) and monomethylbenz(a)anthracenes (MBAs), compounds which differ in carcinogenicity from very potent to apparently inactive, were investigated for mutagenicity (reversion to histidine prototrophy) in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 using either intact or NADPH-fortified homogeniz...

Subjective expected utility, prospect theory and most other formal models of decision making under uncertainty are probabilistic: they assume that in making choices people judge the likelihood of relevant uncertainties. Clearly, in many situations people do indeed judge likelihood. However, we present experiments suggesting that there are also many situations in which people do not judge likeli...

After decades of publications investigating male-female earnings differences, economists have formed a c...

There is a large body of literature documenting both a preference for immediacy and a tendency to procrastinate. O'Donoghue and Rabin (1999a,b, 2001) and Choi et al. (2005) model these behaviors as the two faces of the same phenomenon. In this paper, we use a combination of lab, field, and survey evidence to study whether these two types of behavior are indeed linked. To measure immediacy we ha...

A review of observations and theories regarding binary asteroids and binary transNeptunian objects [collectively, binary minor planets (BMPs)] is presented. To date, these objects have been discovered using a combination of direct imaging, lightcurve analysis, and radar. They are found throughout the Solar System, and present a challenge for theorists modeling their formation in the context of ...

Using sophisticated subjects in an environment that should make the norms of economic behavior highly salient (MBAs in a corporate finance class), we test three theories about how people respond to previous investments: escalating commitment, mental budgeting, and marginal decision making. The results support mental budgeting. PREMATURE DE-ESCALATION IN RESPONSE TO FAILED INVESTMENT: A TEST OF ...
