Abstract We seek to understand collective third-party intervention in violent incidents. Based on analyses of 131 video clips captured mobile phones, we argue that bodily alignment between bystanders creates situational groups encourage de-escalatory action. Qualitative analysis reveals third parties generate when they create circular formations, providing greater opportunities notice each othe...

vegetation cover as the main factor affecting the water erosion plays an important role in preventingsoil loss. to this end, for better understanding the impact of vegetation cover on soil erosion andsediment yield over the major existing geological formations in the summer rangelands of balade inthe mazandaran province, rainfall simulation studies have been carried out using a portable rainfal...

background: monte carlo determination of tg-43 brachytherapy dosimetry parameters and dose distribution calculation for 131cs source model cs-1 are presented in this study. materials and methods: the dose distribution was calculated around the 131cs model cs-1 located in the center of 30 cm ×30 cm ×30 cm water, and soft tissue phantoms cube using mcnp code by monte carlo method. the percentage ...

  Introduction: Radioiodine (131I) is an effective and inexpensive alternative to surgery in the treatment of thyroid hyperfunction. The debate today concerns the maximum and minimum ablative doses, and factors leading to hypothyroidism. Patients & Method: 1035 hyperthyroid patients treated with weight-adjusted ablative doses of 131I were retrospectively assessed for ...

I n a multilevel secure database management system @US/DBMS) users cleared at different security levels access and share a database consisting of data at various sensitivity levels. Recently, many attempts have been made to design ML’S/ DBMSs [5-7, 131. Most of these designs concentrate on the relational data model [4]. Although the relational model has strong theoretical foundations, it does h...

Formations of multi-agent systems, such as satellites and aircraft, require that individual agents satisfy their kinematic equations while constantly maintaining inter-agent constraints. In this paper, we develop a systematic framework for studying formations of multiagent systems. In particular, we consider undirected formations for centralized formations and directed formations for decentrali...

MIS researchers have developed a number of models for studying the software utilization choices of end users. In this paper, we focus on one of these, the Task-Technology fit model. We explore the addition of various personal characteristic constructs, especially Computer Self-Efficacy and Experience.

Humans are thought to possess a unique proclivity to share with others--including strangers. This puzzling phenomenon has led many to suggest that sharing with strangers originates from human-unique language, social norms, warfare and/or cooperative breeding. However, bonobos, our closest living relative, are highly tolerant and, in the wild, are capable of having affiliative interactions with ...
