Killing Them with Kindness? In-Hive Medications May Inhibit Xenobiotic Efflux Transporters and Endanger Honey Bees

BACKGROUND Honey bees (Apis mellifera) have recently experienced higher than normal overwintering colony losses. Many factors have been evoked to explain the losses, among which are the presence of residues of pesticides and veterinary products in hives. Multiple residues are present at the same time, though most often in low concentrations so that no single product has yet been associated with...

Killing with kindness? Drug reaction eosinophilia with systemic symptoms (DRESS) masquerading as acute severe sepsis.

Daisy chains with three generators

For many positive odd integers n, whether prime, prime power or composite, the set Un of units of Zn contains members u, v and w, say with respective orders ψ, ω and π, such that we can write Un as the direct product Un = 〈u〉 × 〈v〉 × 〈w〉. Each element of Un can then be written in the form uvw where 0 ≤ i ≤ ψ − 1, 0 ≤ j ≤ ω− 1 and 0 ≤ k ≤ π− 1. We can then often use the structure of 〈u〉×〈v〉×〈w〉 ...

Modelling Kindness∗

Kindness is an important concept in reciprocity theory, and may matter also for other forms of motivation. We critically compare definitions proposed by Rabin (1993) and by Dufwenberg & Kirchsteiger (2004). Several reasons to prefer the latter definition are highlighted, but also a flaw (discovered by Isoni & Sugden 2018) which we show can be eliminated using a slightly revised definition.

Daisy chains with four generators

For many positive odd integers n, whether prime or not, the set Un of units of Zn contains members t, u, v and w, say with respective orders τ , ψ, ω and π, such that we can write Un as the direct product Un = 〈t〉 × 〈u〉 × 〈v〉 × 〈w〉. Each element of Un can then be written in the form tuvw where 0 ≤ h < τ , 0 ≤ i < ψ, 0 ≤ j < ω and 0 ≤ k < π. We can then often use the structure of 〈t〉 × 〈u〉 × 〈v〉...
