Intersectoral cooperation as a basis for social security

A Neural Basis for Social Cooperation

Cooperation based on reciprocal altruism has evolved in only a small number of species, yet it constitutes the core behavioral principle of human social life. The iterated Prisoner's Dilemma Game has been used to model this form of cooperation. We used fMRI to scan 36 women as they played an iterated Prisoner's Dilemma Game with another woman to investigate the neurobiological basis of cooperat...

Configuration Management as a Basis for Internet Cooperation

Several document management systems supporting asynchronous cooperation over the world– wide web have been proposed. Such systems provide access controlled areas for sharing objects related to a specific topic among a group of people working together. Support for configuration management is not present or very much restricted in these systems. We present an object–oriented CM data model which s...

Cooperation Among Libraries as a Basis for Networking

Psychrometric chart as a basis for outdoor thermal analysis

Preparing thermal comfort conditions in outdoor public spaces is one of the considerations of architectural design. If the constructed area does not support comfortable conditions in outdoor spaces, it will cause microclimatic problems for pedestrians and adjacent buildings. Regarding the different thermal comfort conditions in outdoor spaces in comparison with indoor, several indices have b...

View security as the basis for data warehouse security

Access permissions in a data warehouse are currently managed in a separate world from the sources’ policies. The consequences are inconsistencies, slow response to change, and wasted administrative work. We present a different approach, which treats the sources’ exported tables and the warehouse as part of the same distributed database. Our main result is a way to control derived products by ex...
