Toddlers are remarkably prosocial toward adults, yet little is known about their helping behavior toward peers. In the present study with 18- and 30-month-old toddlers (n = 192, 48 dyads per age group), one child needed help reaching an object to continue a task that was engaging for both children. The object was within reach of the second child who helped significantly more often compared to a...

Group Membership for Peer-to-Peer Communication

This paper studies the problem of maintaining eventual consistent group membership without any synchrony assumption inside an unbounded group G of processes that varies over the time (processes may join and leave the group). Eventual consistency means that if at any time all group membership changes cease, processes will converge in a finite time to a single consistent view. Due to the lack of ...

However, its major drawback is that its computation time is very high or often impractical to construct large-scale gene networks. We propose a variable selection method that are not only reduces BN computation times significantly but also obtains optim...
