Many moral codes place a special emphasis on bodily purity, and manipulations that directly target bodily purity have been shown to influence a variety of moral judgments. Across two studies, we demonstrated that reminders of physical purity influence specific moral judgments regarding behaviors in the sexual domain as well as broad political attitudes. In Study 1, individuals in a public setti...

When the exchange rate is either fixed or floating, the currency trading of the central bank is relatively well understood. In intermediate regimes, or ‘dirty floats’, three different alternative behaviours of the central bank can be conjectured: symmetrically preventing changes of the exchange rate vs. preventing appreciation vs. preventing depreciation. In this paper, we describe a testing st...

INTRODUCTION Terrorist use of a radiological dispersal device (RDD, or "dirty bomb"), which combines a conventional explosive device with radiological materials, is among the National Planning Scenarios of the United States government. Understanding employee willingness to respond is critical for planning experts. Previous research has demonstrated that perception of threat and efficacy is key ...

in this article the effect of fouling on tube side and the overall performance of preheat exchangers of crude distillation unit of petroleum refinery have been investigated. for this purpose the experimental data of australian light crude oil in surface temperature of 200-260oc and the velocity between 0.25 to 0.4 m/s have been used. first, an overall dirty heat transfer coefficient was calcula...

Abstract This paper defends the possibility of dirty hands against longstanding skepticism that an action cannot be simultaneously right and wrong cases are therefore impossible. While skeptics to recognize prima facie reasons violating moral duties may overridden, they deny actions required by necessity nevertheless remain wrong. Dirty capture simultaneous disregarding in certain circumstances...

The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), is an important pest of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., in the mid-southern United States. It is exclusively controlled with foliar insecticide applications, and sampling methods and thresholds need to be revisited. The current experiment was designed to establish a plant-based threshold during the flowering period of cotton develo...

Future wireless communications systems are expected to provide ever higher data rates. Still, devices have to be produced at reasonable cost in order to be affordable to customers. The widely known impairments – ”dirt effects” – in analog RF tend to aggravate as we go for the large transmission bandwidths and high carrier frequencies that usually come with an increased data throughput. To date,...
