Numerous signaling models in economics assume image concerns. These take two forms, as relating either to social image or self-image. While empirical work has identified the behavioral importance of the former, less is known about the role of enhanced self-image concerns. In this paper, we exogenously vary self-image concerns in manipulating selfdirected attention and study the impact on moral ...

effects of formulation parameters on the fractional release profile of diclofenac sodium from matrices having the manufacturing formulation ingredients are studied. as a content of cetyl alcohol (rate controlling agent) in the matrix increases, the fractional release decreases. the fractional release increases either by increasing sucrose content outside the granule or by decreasing sucrose con...

BACKGROUND Little is known about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) awareness among Afghan injecting drug users (IDUs), many of whom initiated injecting as refugees. We explored whether differences in HIV awareness and knowledge exist between Afghan IDUs who were refugees compared to those never having left Afghanistan. METHODS A convenience sample of IDUs in Kabul, Afghanistan was recruited ...

The relationship between attention and awareness and the processing of visual information outside of attention and awareness remain controversial issues. We employed the motion aftereffect (MAE) illusion and continuous flash suppression (CFS) to study the behavioral effects of unseen and unattended visual motion. The main finding was that either withdrawal of attention or the lack of visual awa...

Thirty-six pilots (31 men, 5 women) were tested in a flight simulator on their ability to intercept a pathway depicted on a highway-in-the-sky (HITS) display. While intercepting and flying the pathway, pilots were required to watch for traffic outside the cockpit. Additionally, pilots were tested on their awareness of speed, altitude, and heading during the flight. Results indicated that the pr...

How should judges decide which linguistic canons to apply in interpreting statutes? One important answer looks the inside of legislative process: Follow rules that lawmakers contemplate. A different answer, based on “ordinary meaning” doctrine, outside: would guide an ordinary person’s understanding legal text. Empirical scholars have studied statutory interpretation from inside—revealing what ...
