My paper has two parts. First, I talk about the golden rule. After introducing the rule and its global importance, I explain why many scholars dismiss it as a vague proverb that leads to absurdities when we try to formulate it clearly. I defend the golden rule against such objections. Second, I talk about the golden rule in Persia and Islam; I consider Persian sources (Muslim and non-Muslim) an...

packaging is one of the most effective marketing instruments in selling most of the products, in particular the consuming products. due to the fact that most purchases particularly in department and chain stores are performed randomly and without a previous programming, packaging has a key role in attracting buyers and their selling products. a package with a charming and elegant design can be ...

Background Assessing outcomes of habitat management is critical for informing and adapting conservation plans. From 2013-2019, a multi-stage management initiative, led by the American Bird Conservancy (ABC), aims to create >25,000 ha of shrubland and early-successional vegetation to benefit Golden-winged Warblers (Vermivora chrysoptera) in managed forested landscapes of the western Great Lakes ...

This study examines conditional golden rule optimality (CGRO) in stochastic overlapping generations models to complement the existing results on conditional Pareto optimality (CPO). Although an example in which CPO implies CGRO is presented, it is shown that such a situation is avoidable under strictly convex preferences. Under such preferences, both CPO and CGRO are characterized by the condit...

The Wnt pathway has been found to play a role in the development of many tissues and to spur growth and differentiation of adult osteoblasts, sparking interest in its potential clinical application for bone growth. However, when deregulated, this pathway can be oncogenic in some tissues. In this issue of the JCI, Kansara and colleagues reveal that Wnt inhibitory factor 1 is epigenetically silen...

During hibernation at ambient temperatures (T(a)) above 0 degrees C, rodents typically maintain body temperature (T(b)) approximately 1 degrees C above T(a), reduce metabolic rate, and suspend or substantially reduce many physiological functions. We tested the extent to which the presence of an insulative pelage affects hibernation. T(b) was recorded telemetrically in golden-mantled ground squi...
