Nevertheless, people are observed to punish others in behavioural economic games, posing a problem fo...
متن کاملTeachers’ gestures and students’ learning: sometimes “hands off” is better
During mathematics instruction, teachers often make links between different representations of mathematical information, and they sometimes use gestures to refer to the representations that they link. In this research, we investigated the role of such gestures in students' learning from lessons about links between linear equations and corresponding graphs. Eighty-two middle-school students comp...

Consequently, the seller is willing to pay an auctioneer to credibly commit to a mech...
متن کاملAsymmetric Division: Motor Persistence Pays off
A new study shows that an antagonistic force model can explain a number of complex mitotic spindle movements in the first mitosis of the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo by simply assuming that cortical force generators become increasingly persistent in their interaction with microtubules during mitosis.
متن کاملOptical Materials: Variety pays off for nanotubes.
T he global communications infrastructure relies on optical fibre lasers and other photonics components. As traffic on these networks continues to increase by a stunning 40% per year, hardware companies are under pressure to reduce costs. There is thus a need for new, low-cost optical technologies that deliver high performance and can be manufactured in an environmentally friendly manner. On pa...
