BACKGROUND There is a need to better understand the perceived experiences of workers in green buildings as the literature to this point has been mixed. OBJECTIVES To re-evaluate occupant experiences within a LEED platinum building and investigate current experiences in general.

Three experiments elicited phonological speech errors using the SLIP procedure to investigate whether there is a tendency for speech errors on specific words to reoccur, and whether this effect can be attributed to implicit learning of an incorrect mapping from lemma to phonology for that word. In Experiment 1, when speakers made a phonological speech error in the study phase of the experiment ...

In the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction carried out in a reverse microemulsion with Aerosol OT as surfactant, the existence of two different sizes of droplets containing the BZ reactants leads to the emergence of segmented (dashed) waves. This bimodal distribution of sizes is stabilized by adding small amounts of the homopolymer poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). Addition of PEO lengthens the period...

The Asian currency crises occurred in the year 1997. We focused on exchange rates of the Asian countries/regions among several causes and examined how they were determined with a currency basket peg framework. We also constructed an international input-output model linked with macroeconometric models. Using the model, we have analyzed trade pattern changes in relation to the yen-dollar rate. Es...

When firms form an alliance, it often involves one firm acquiring an equity stake in its alliance partner. Such an alliance lessens the competition, but induces knowledge transfer within the alliance. This paper explores oligopoly models that capture this important link between partial equity ownership (PEO) and knowledge transfer. We consider an industry consisting of three firms, where firm 1...
