Interaction between agents representing real world actors in computational models must be informed by knowledge about interaction processes occurring amongst real world actors. We propose the use of endorsements to implement the cognitive processes underlying the decisions that lead to interactions among agents. The main advantage in applying the idea of endorsements lies in the fact that they ...

Human voice pitch research has focused on perceptions of attractiveness, strength, and social dominance. Here we examine the influence of pitch on selection of leaders, and whether this influence varies by leadership role. Male and female leaders with lower-pitched (i.e., masculine) voices are generally preferred by both men and women. We asked whether this preference shifts to favor higher-pit...

• China and the United States should not see each other as competitors but rather as partners in the international energy market. The two countries have many opportunities for cooperation in joint exploration, production and shipping safety, development of new and renewable energies, and environmental protection. Energy security and cooperation should be put on the agenda of the US-China Strate...

Abstract Secure and reliable exchange of information between devices is crucial for any network in the current digital world. This maintained on storage devices, routing communication over cloud. Cryptographic techniques are used to ensure secure transmission data, ensuring user’s privacy by storing transmitting data a particular format. Using encryption, only intended user possessing key can a...

Congress recently considered some proposals to split the Ninth Circuit, proposals that could have far-reaching effects on the environment, public lands, and natural resources. This Article first looks at some of the recent developments in Congress, particularly the authorization of a national study commission to examine the federal appeals courts. Professor Tobias predicts that the Ninth Circui...

By combining diamond-anvil-cell and laser-driven shock wave techniques, we produced dense He samples up to 1.5 g/cm(3) at temperatures reaching 60 kK. Optical measurements of reflectivity and temperature show that electronic conduction in He at these conditions is temperature-activated (semiconducting). A fit to the data suggests that the mobility gap closes with increasing density, and that ho...

The cross section and tensor analysing power t20 of the ~ d d → He η reaction have been measured at six c.m. momenta, 10 ≤ pη ≤ 90 MeV/c. The threshold value of t20 is consistent with 1/ √ 2, which follows from parity conservation and Bose symmetry. The much slower momentum variation observed for the reaction amplitude, as compared to that for the analogous p d → He η case, suggests strongly th...

BACKGROUND One of the characteristics of hypoglycemic encephalopathy (HE) is selective vulnerability of different brain regions. CASE REPORT We observed a patient with unilateral HE affecting the right internal capsule and the subcortical white matter. The patient had a preexisting stroke in the opposite hemisphere. The hemisphere that was affected by HE exhibited greater regional blood flow ...

conclusions rectifying the life style is one of the most effective factors on the individuals’ health. an important part in the life style of individuals which is related to fasting is sleeping. early rising, in other words, the optimum time for sleeping is an aspect of fasting and it can be concluded that fasting is meaningful with early rising. sleeping well and having enough time to sleep fo...
