Theoretical models of marketing ethics propose that people first must perceive the presence of an ethical issue before the process of ethical decision making can begin. Through the concept of ethical sensitivity, the authors explore why some marketing researchers and not others recognize and ascribe importance to the ethical content in their decision situations. The authors examine two rival de...

Differences across fields and experience levels are frequently considered in discussions of ethical decision-making and ethical behavior. In the present study, doctoral students in the health, biological, and social sciences completed measures of ethical decision-making. The effects of field and level of experience with respect to ethical decision-making, metacognitive reasoning strategies, soc...

In 1992 neurophysiologists [20] found a new type of cells in areas V1 and V2 of the monkey primary visual cortex, which they called grating cells. These cells respond vigorously to a grating pattern of appropriate orientation and periodicity. Three years later a computational model inspired by these findings was published [9]. The study of this paper is to create a grating cell operator that ha...

In nature, bacterial colonies must often cope with hostile environmental conditions. To do so they have developed sophisticated cooperative behaviour and intricate communication capabilities, such as direct cell ± cell physical interactions via extra-membrane polymers, collective production of extracellular `wetting’ fluid for movement on hard surfaces, longrange chemical signalling such as quo...

integrity is the foundational basis of the accounting profession. recently, corporate scandals exposed the accounting profession to great pressure of regulators and public. understanding the ethical values of accounting students is very crucial for improving the integrity of accounting profession. the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between ethical perception and monetary e...

The history of the weak interactions may be said to have begun with the discovery of beta-decay by Henri Becquerel at the end of the 19th Century [1]. It is still evolving. Insights are expected from experiments ranging from neutrinoless double beta-decay to giant cosmic ray air showers. It has benefitted greatly from Jim Cronin’s studies of strange particles, including but not limited to his d...

This paper uses fractals to model the clustering of cache misses. The clustering of cache misses can be quantified by a single number analog to a fractional dimension, and we are intrigued by the possibility that this number can be used as a measure of software complexity. The essential intuition is that cache misses are a direct reflection of changes in locality of reference, and that complex ...
