The ability to discriminate between pairs of photographs according to the portrayed model’s visual attention status was examined in four olive baboons. Two baboons successfully managed to solve the problem, even when attention was demonstrated by eye direction alone. A third showed an ability to discriminate head direction but not eye direction. In order to investigate further their ability to ...

The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) produces a compensatory eye movement of equal and opposite amplitude to the motion of the head. This reflex effectively stabilizes the visual world on the retina for the wide range of head motions that are generated during daily activities1,2. However, primates can also voluntarily redirect their visual axes to new targets in their environment. Under natural co...

Extracting γ from Bs(d) → J/ψ KS and Bd(s) → D + − d(s) Dd(s)

A completely general parametrization of the time-dependent decay rates of the modes B s → J/ψ K S and B d → J/ψ K S is given, which are related to each other through the U-spin flavour symmetry of strong interactions. Owing to the interference of current–current and penguin processes, the B s → J/ψ K S observables probe the angle γ of the unitarity triangle. Using the U-spin symmetry, the overa...

JEL Classification Code(s): J 31, J 71) "Perceptions of Discrimination, Effort to Obtain Psychological Balance, and Relative Wages: Can We Infer a Happiness Gradient?" There is a substantial literature that finds a linkage between happiness and relative economic well being as measured by earnings or wages. There is also a well documented racial gap in wages. One explanation for this is disparat...
