Across six field and lab experiments, we found that impaired self-control fosters compliance with charitable requests. Experiments 1 and 2 showed that self-regulatory resource depletion was induced when participants yielded to the initial requests of a foot-in-the-door script aimed at procuring volunteer behavior. Experiment 3 demonstrated that self-regulatory resource depletion mediated the ef...

Gender and Work Hours Transitions in Australia: Drop Ceilings and Trap-Door Floors We introduce the ideas of “drop ceilings”, that full-time employees who switch to reduced hours thereafter face an hours ceiling such that a return to full-time employment is difficult, and of “trap-door floors”, that full-time employees may be denied the opportunity to reduce their hours and instead face a choic...

The present study investigates the effects of different types of concurrent feedback on the acquisition of perceptual-motor skills. Twenty participants walked through virtual corridors in which rhythmically opening and closing sliding doors were placed. The participants aimed to adjust their walking speed so as to cross the doors when the doors were close to their maximal aperture width. The hi...

Stalking is a dangerous and devastating crime that irrevocably changes the lives of victims but is frequently misunderstood and minimized. Victims report that their lives are never the same after they have been stalked. Stalking is prevalent and gender-neutral and occurs across all socioeconomic lines and in all clinical settings. The prevalence of stalking provides many opportunities for socia...

1. A back-to-back cargo movement is generally understood as the transfer of loose goods from one truck to another---in its literal form, positioning two trucks with their backs to one another. Primitive variants involve laborintensive handling and placement of cargo on the ground during the transfer. This process inflicts serious time delays and damage to cargo and is widely avoided in modern t...

background:the door-to-needle-time (dnt) is considered a standard time for scheduling thrombolysis for acute st-segment elevation of myocardial infarction and this time can be reduced by minimizing the delay in starting thrombolytic treatment once the patient has reached to the hospital. this study was carried out on a sample of iranian patients with acute myocardial infarction to determine the...

When I was street homeless, the challenge was getting to see a general practitioner. So many obstacles were in the way—no address, out of area, no proof of who I was. It was as if I needed three forms of identification and a letter from God just to get past the receptionist. Surgery doors closed in my face, and excuse after excuse was given as to why I couldn’t see the doctor. I was sent to oth...

Translation model size is growing at a pace that outstrips improvements in computing power, and this hinders research on many interesting models. We show how an algorithmic scaling technique can be used to easily handle very large models. Using this technique, we explore several large model variants and show an improvement 1.4 BLEU on the NIST 2006 ChineseEnglish task. This opens the door for w...
