A theory of government policy determination, based on intertemporal distortion-smoothing and limited commitment, matches the set of stylized facts of U.S. wartime policy.

In this research, the complexation of a new recently synthesized phenothiazine with 10 different metals was evaluated by Density functional theory. At the first step, the structures of 6,15-diazabenzo[a][1,4]benzothiazino[3,2-c]phenothiazine, cations and their complexes with the mentioned material were optimized geometrically. Then, IR calculations were performed on them to obtain the values of...

The 20th-century theory of mammalian sex determination states that the embryo is sexually indifferent until the differentiation of gonads, after which sex differences in phenotype are caused by the differential effects of gonadal hormones. However, this theory is inadequate because some sex differences precede differentiation of the gonads and/or are determined by non-gonadal effects of the sex...

Motivational characteristics are influential in shaping adolescents' desire to persist in sport or to discontinue their sport participation. Self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) was utilized as the theoretical framework for this study. This theory examines whether sustained participatory involvement, defined as continued participation in the sport through the next year, was influenced ...

This paper deals with a Speed Limit determination Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) performing the combination of information given by a navigation system and a Speed Limit Sign Recognition system. The present strategy is based on a multi-level data fusion using the Evidence theory (also called Dempster-Shafer theory or Belief Theory) and the sensors respective confidence values. This pa...
