Negative Magnetoresistance in Amorphous Indium Oxide Wires
We study magneto-transport properties of several amorphous Indium oxide
nanowires of different widths. The wires show superconducting transition at
zero magnetic field, but, there exist a finite resistance at the lowest
temperature. The broadening was explained by available phase slip
models. At low field, and far below the superconducting critical temperature,
the wires with diameter equal to or less than 100 nm, show negative
magnetoresistance (nMR). The magnitude of nMR and the crossover field are found
to be dependent on both temperature and the cross-sectional area. We find that
this intriguing behavior originates from the interplay between two field
dependent contributions.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figure

Self-serving Altruism? The Lure of Unethical Actions That Benefit Others
In three experiments, we propose and find that individuals cheat more when others can benefit from their cheating and when the number of beneficiaries of wrongdoing increases. Our results indicate that people use moral flexibility to justify their self-interested actions when such actions benefit others in addition to the self. Namely, our findings suggest that when people's dishonesty would benefit others, they are more likely to view dishonesty as morally acceptable and thus feel less guilty about benefiting from cheating. We discuss the implications of these results for collaborations in the social realm

Self-Serving Altruism? When Unethical Actions That Benefit Others Do Not Trigger Guilt
In three experiments, we examine whether individuals cheat more when other individuals can benefit from their cheating (they do) and when the number of beneficiaries of wrongdoing is larger (they do). Our results indicate that people use moral flexibility in justifying their self-interested actions when such actions benefit others in addition to the self. Namely, our findings suggest that when others can benefit from one’s dishonesty people consider larger dishonesty as morally acceptable and thus can benefit from their cheating and simultaneously feel less guilty about it. We discuss the implications of these results for collaborations in the social realm
