One- and two-year-old peer dyads were presented with a simple cooperative task. Age differences were found in amount of coordinated activity, monitoring the peer's activity and location in relation to the goal, and attempting to achieve the goal when the peer was (or was not) available as a partner. One-year-olds' coordinated actions appeared more coincidental than cooperative whereas older chi...

2 hypotheses about resistance to influence were tested: (a) warning Ss that they are going to be exposed to a communication with which they disagree will increase their resistance to influence; (b) distracting Ss from the content of such a communication will decrease resistance to influence. The results support the 1st hypothesis, but provide only minimal support for the 2nd. In addition the st...

Looking back into the history of welfare facilities for employees in an organization, they have always and will keep playing a pivotal role in enhancing employee morale. The welfare schemes in every organization facilitate impetus for employee and employer relations. Employees’ welfare is inherent core component, as they act as life blood for achieving the objectives of an organization. The mai...

In this paper the "Value Engineering (VE) item system-development table" and the "VE portfolio" are introduced and the effective VE is investigated through our actual 2nd-Look VE propulsion. __________

We present the results of the O(αs) two-loop virtual corrections to the differential decay width dΓ(B → Xsll)/dŝ, where ŝ is the invariant mass squared of the lepton pair, normalized to m b . Those contributions from gluon bremsstrahlung which are needed to cancel infrared and collinear singularities are also included. Our calculation is restricted to the range 0.05 ≤ ŝ ≤ 0.25 where the effects...

This position paper provides an overview of Understanding the Multi-Screen Household, an interdisciplinary project investigating how domestic media audiences use second screen technologies in relation to primary screen viewing. It describes the novel methods developed for this problem space by a diverse group of researchers and reflects on the practical, ethical and theoretical challenges atten...

In this paper, we present an interaction mechanism that allows TV viewers to synchronise their second screen applications in a simple and effortless way. This mechanism relies on the user feedback to deliver in-sync second screen events, and was designed as a universal solution that can be used on any live broadcast.
