Perceptions of Pie - Expanders and Pie - Slicers in Negotiations

Inspired by Kelley and Stahelski (1970), we examined selfand peer-evaluations of negotiator behavior and how they related to actual performance. People had more accurate perceptions of their pie-slicing skills than their pie-expanding skills. Pieexpanders tended to see others as more competitive in general than did pie-slicers. Meanwhile, pie-slicers out-performed pie-expanders. Further, those ...

Contamination of pigs by nose-to-nose contact or airborne transmission of Salmonella Typhimurium.

The aim of this study is to assess the risk of contamination by Salmonella Typhimurium of pigs by nose-to-nose contact or the airborne route. Thirty twelve-week-old SPF pigs were divided into 4 groups housed in 4 different rooms: the first room contained Salmonella-free control pigs (n = 4), the second room had 10(3) CFU S. Typhimurium inoculated pigs (n = 5) and non-inoculated "contact" pigs (...

Pie Chart Sonification

Different acoustic variables such as pitch, volume, timbre and position can be used to represent quantitative, qualitative and categorical aspects of the information. Such sonifications are particularly useful for those with visual impairments; they are also beneficial in circumstances where visual representations would be impossible to use or to enrich a graphical realization. We demonstrate m...

Portioning up PIE-1

S neuroprotects The neuronal guardian protein, Wld S , like a true superhero, gained its powers by chance mutation. Now, thanks to two studies, we are closer to understanding how Wld S exerts its protective force. The slow Wallerian degeneration (Wld S) protein and its neuroprotective powers came to exist thanks to a spontaneous mutation that fused the genes for Nmnat1 (a NAD + synthesizing enz...
