Social Distance and Reciprocity

Contrary to the predictions of non-cooperative game theory, trust and reciprocity are commonly reported in simple games. We conduct a one-shot investment game to examine how social distance affects behavior in two-person exchanges. Two aspects of social distance are examined: ex post revelation of complete information on the second playerâ??s choice set and ex post revelation of information regarding the second playerâ??s identity. The results indicate that reciprocity is not affected by knowledge of the choice set, but depends critically on the possible revelation of the decision makerâ??s identity. That is, the possibility that the second playerâ??s identity (picture) is revealed to his/her counterpart has a profound effect on the degree of reciprocity extended.

Nanoscale content-addressable memory

A combined content addressable memory device and memory interface is provided. The combined device and interface includes one or more one molecular wire crossbar memories having spaced-apart key nanowires, spaced-apart value nanowires adjacent to the key nanowires, and configurable switches between the key nanowires and the value nanowires. The combination further includes a key microwire-nanowire grid (key MNG) electrically connected to the spaced-apart key nanowires, and a value microwire-nanowire grid (value MNG) electrically connected to the spaced-apart value nanowires. A key or value MNGs selects multiple nanowires for a given key or value

Nivel de ansiedad y valoración del comportamiento de pacientes odontopediátricos atendidos en la Clínica Estomatológica de la Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego - Trujillo 2015

El presente estudio tuvo como propósito determinar el nivel de ansiedad y valoración del comportamiento de pacientes odontopediátricos atendidos en la Clínica Estomatológica de la Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego. El estudio, prospectivo, transversal, descriptivo y observacional se desarrolló en la Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego e incluyó un total de 104 pacientes odontopediátricos, entre las edades de 4, 5, 6, 7 y 8 años de edad, atendidos en la Clínica Estomatológica. Para determinar el nivel de ansiedad se aplicó el cuestionario de escala “Face Image Scale”, así mismo para determinar la valoración del comportamiento se aplicó el cuestionario de la Escala de Valoración de Frankl. El instrumento de Face Image Scale (FIS) consto de 5 items donde van desde la total felicidad a total tristeza y con respecto al instrumento de Frankl se dividió en 4 categorías que van desde definitivamente negativo a definitivamente positivo. La confiabilidad del cuestionario fue determinado empleando el coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach. La significancia fue considerada al 5%. Los resultados muestran que los niños entre las edades de 4 años presentan niveles de ansiedad más altos y que a medida que va aumentando la edad, los porcentajes sobre la existencia de Ansiedad Dental disminuye.The present study was to determine the level of anxiety and behavioral assessment of odontopediátricos patients treated at the dental clinic of the Private University Antenor Orrego. The study, prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive and observational developed in the Private University Antenor Orrego and included a total of 104 odontopediátricos patients between the ages of 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 years old, treated at the Stomatology Clinic. To determine the level of anxiety scale questionnaire ""Face Image Scale"" it was applied, also to determine the behavior assessment questionnaire Frankl Rating Scale was applied. The instrument of Face Image Scale (FIS) consisted of 5 items where they go from total happiness and sadness all over Frankl instrument was divided into 4 categories ranging from negative to definitely definitely positive. The reliability of the questionnaire was determined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Significance was considered 5%. The results show that children between the ages of 4 years of age have higher levels of anxiety and that as age increases the percentages of the existence of Dental Anxiety decreases.Tesi

Reducing fishing vessel capsizing in Newfoundland and Labrador by establishing a relationship between common causes and operators' understanding of stability and risk

Commercial fishing is considered one of the most dangerous industries in the world. Among the different types of fishing vessel accidents, capsizing has one of the highest fatality rates. In Newfoundland and Labrador, fatalities, due to the loss of stability in fishing vessels, have been identified as a significant problem. This study’s primary objective was to determine the main causes of fishing vessel capsizing and recommend preventative measures to reduce the frequency of fishing vessel capsizes in Newfoundland and Labrador. Through an analysis of fishing vessel capsizing investigation reports, and a series of discussions with operators, the study identified the primary causes of these events. In 57 of the 60 capsizes analyzed, operators’ actions were determined to play a significant role. A second component of the discussion portion of the study focused on operator and crew understanding of vessel stability. This portion of the study revealed a correlation between the amount of formal training an operator had received and their understanding of stability. Those who had received some form of stability education appeared better equipped to avoid or manage potential capsizing events. Many fishing vessel capsize events were attributed to operator error and operators with no stability training are more likely to make poor decisions based on common misconceptions of vessel stability. Based on this conclusion, it is recommended that a compulsory stability education course be offered in the province. An outline and proposed curriculum including potential delivery methods for such a course is presented
