The paper sets out to explore boundary conditions for process effects (that affected persons’ reactions towards authoritative decisions are affected by the way decisions are made). First, to find out whether decent authorities in search of acceptance for difficult decisions can gain from choosing the one or the other form of decision-making, we analyze the effects of different legitimate proced...

the sno2 films deposited from inorganic precursors via sol–gel dip coating method have been found to be highly sensitive to methanol and ethanol vapor. three dimensional nano-structure materials have attracted the attention of many researches because the possibility to apply them for near future devices in sensors, catalysis and energy related. the sensitivity and selectivity of sno2 (110) nano...

social phobia is characterized by a fear of negative evaluation within social or performance situations, where individuals believe that they are under scrutiny and may be embarrassed (american psychiatric association, 2013). the present study was carried out to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness and acceptance-based group therapy on decreasing fears of scrutiny by others in patients with ...

We characterize a family of proposal-refusal school choice mechanisms, including the Boston, Shanghai, and Deferred Acceptance (DA) mechanisms as special cases. Moving from one extreme member towards the other results in a systematic change in the incentive properties and nested Nash equilibria. In the laboratory, the proportion of truth-telling follows DA > Shanghai > Boston. While DA is signi...

Previous work on the Daily Car-Pooling problem includes an algorithm that consists of greedy assignment alternating with random perturbation. In this study, we examine the effect of varying the move acceptance policy, specifically Late-acceptance criteria with and without reheating. Late acceptance-based move acceptance criteria were chosen because there is strong empirical evidence in the lite...
