Although empathic accuracy is considered a stable skill, few individual difference measures consistently predict performance on Ickes’ (e.g., 2001) empathic accuracy measure. Because past work has shown that women are more empathically accurate than men when female gender roles are made salient before an empathic accuracy task, we hypothesized that self-reported communion and related variables ...

We explain the isomorphism between the G-Hilbert scheme and the F-blowup from the noncommutative viewpoint after Van den Bergh. In doing this, we immediately and naturally arrive at the notion of D-modules. We also find, as a byproduct, a canonical way to construct a noncommutative resolution at least for a few classes of singularities in positive characteristic.
