The provision of information to consumers is a common input tackling various public health issues. By comparison the given on food and alcohol products, gambling products either not at all, or shown in low-prominence locations suboptimal format, e.g. ‘return-to-player’ ‘this game has an average percentage payout 90%’. Some previous research suggests that it would be advantageous communicate thi...

Abstract The Uganda National GeneBank is a key reservoir of genetic diversity for sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), with over 3333 accessions which are predominantly landraces (96.48%), but also includes the weedy (0.63%), breeding lines (2.5%) and released varieties (0.39%). This resource from primary center domestication important broadening elite cultivars through breeding. However, du...

A longstanding literature has highlighted the tension between the altruism of physicians and their desire for profit. This paper develops new implications for how these competing forces drive pricing and utilization in healthcare markets. Altruism dictates that providers reduce utilization in response to higher prices, but profit-maximization does the opposite. Rational physicians will behave m...

Although modern operating systems provide powerful abstractions to application programs, they often fail to implement those abstractions in a way that provides applications programs, especially specialized application programs, with the best utilization of the physical resources of the computer system[And92]. The operating system community has implicitly recognized this problem by providing mec...

In this study, we examine the neural substrates underlying Tone 3 sandhi and tone sequencing in Mandarin Chinese using fMRI. Tone 3 sandhi is traditionally described as the substitution of Tone 3 with Tone 2 when followed by another Tone 3 (i.e., 33→23). According to current speech production models, target substitution is expected to engage the posterior inferior frontal gyrus. Since Tone 3 sa...
