Six conditions under which MPAs might not appear effective (when they are)

When Things Are Not as They Appear: Assessing the Adequacy of Cluster Randomization When Outcome Events Are Rare at Baseline

The present study randomly assigned 15 Bahamian elementary schools to one of three intervention conditions. To assess the adequacy of cluster randomization, we examined two concerns identified by the local research team: inequality of gender distribution and environmental risk among groups. Baseline significant differences in risk and protective behaviors were minimal. There were significantly ...

When Six Gates are Not Enough

We apply the pigeonhole principle to show that there must exist Boolean functions on 7 inputs with a multiplicative complexity of at least 7, i.e., that cannot be computed with only 6 multiplications in the Galois field with two elements.

Are Not Minimal under Certain Conditions

INFINITE LOCALLY FINITE GROUPS OF TYPE PSL(2, K) OR Sz(K) ARE NOT MINIMAL UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS JAVIER OTAL AND JUAN MANUEL PENA In classifying certain infinite groups under minimal conditions it is needed to find non-simplicity criteria for the groups under consideration . We obtain some of such criteria as a consequence of the main result of the paper and the classification of finite simpl...

Are Those with Darker Personality Traits more Willing to Corrupt When They Feel Anxious?

This unprecedented research endeavors to investigate the relationship between dark personality traits (i.e., narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) and corruption intention through the mediation of anxiety.  Based on the resource conservation theory, it is hypothesized that those higher in dark personality traits are more inclined to corrupt when they feel anxious. Having collected data...
