When the interests of interlocutors are not aligned, either party may wish to avoid truthful disclosure. A sender wishing to conceal the truth from a receiver may lie by providing false information, mislead by actively encouraging the receiver to reach a false conclusion, or simply be uninformative by providing little or no relevant information. Lying entails moral and other hazards, such as de...

Examining the characteristics of an animal's lying behaviour, such as frequency and duration of lying bouts, has become increasingly relevant for animal welfare research. Triaxial accelerometers have the advantage of being able to continuously monitor an animal's standing and lying behaviour without relying on live observations or video recordings. Multiple models of accelerometers have been va...

We study the magnetic moments of octet, decuplet, low-lying charm, and bottom baryons with nonzero light quarks in symmetric nuclear matter using quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which satisfies constraint for allowed maximum change (swelling) in-medium nucleon size derived from $y$-scaling data $^3$He$(e,e')$ $^{56}$Fe$(e,e')$. The present QMC model also expected enhancement matter. Moreover,...

Restricting the spread of sensitive information is important in domains ranging from commerce to military operations. In this position paper, we propose research aimed at exploring techniques for privacy enforcement when humans are the recipient of — possibly obfuscated — information. Such obfuscation could be considered to be a white lie, and we argue that determining what information to share...

Lying is a pervasive phenomenon with important social and economic implications. However, despite substantial interest in the prevalence and determinants of lying, little is known about its biological foundations. Here we study a potential hormonal influence, focusing on the steroid hormone testosterone, which has been shown to play an important role in social behavior. In a double-blind placeb...

We investigated the production and perception of paralinguistic cues to deception in a two-person, interactive game. Speakers tried to mislead their partner by lying some of the time, while listeners tried to catch speakers out by guessing when they were lying. Our results show that listeners were more likely to associate disfluencies with deception, despite the fact that speakers were in fact ...

The σ particle was firstly introduced by Gell-Mann and Levy in association with the linear σ model.1 In such a model, the σ meson develops a non-vanishing vacuum expectation value which triggers the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. Pions act as the (pseudo-)goldstone bosons associated with the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking (SχSB). In the linear σ model the σ meson fills in the li...
