The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis Facilitates Evolutionary Models of Culture Change

The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) is beginning to fulfill the whole promise of Darwinian insight through its extension of evolutionary understanding from the biological domain to include cultural information evolution. Several decades of important foundation-laying work took a social Darwinist approach and exhibited and ecologically-deterministic elements. This is not the case with more recent developments to the evolutionary study of culture, which emphasize non-Darwinian processes such as self-organization, potentiality, and epigenetic change.Comment: 19 pages, 1 figure, 3 tables; in Cliodynamics: The Journal of Quantitative History and Cultural Evolution, 9(2), 84-10

A method for evaluating MPSK performance using a (M/2)PSK signal set

As data rate demands on existing satellite systems increase, the need to evaluate more bandwidth efficient modulation schemes such as M-ary phase Shift Keying (MPSK) becomes important. However, the unavailability of higher order modems operational at higher data rates and the construction of such a complex device for testing purposes can make evaluation difficult. In support of NASA grant NAG 5-1491, New Mexico State University has developed a method of evaluating the performance of 8PSK in a satellite channel using a QPSK signal set. This paper will discuss this technique and will generalize the results to the use of any (M/2)PSK signal set to evaluate MPSK modulation. Verification by both computer simulation and hardware implementation will also be discussed

Transparency, Translucence of Opacity? A Field Investigation of The Mediating Role of Positive Emotions In Trustful Leader-Follower Relations

In this study, the relationship between transparency and trust is hypothesized and investigated. Furthermore, the positive emotions variable was hypothesized to mediate the transparency � trust relationship. Participants’ perceptions of a leader’s transparency were more predictive of trust than experimenter designed manipulations. Study limitations, implications for management, and future research directions are discussed
