Transparency and reciprocal behavior in employment relations

Reciprocal Relations in Evolutionary Processes

In nature, our biological world consists of many species of biological contents such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, etc. We frequently ask a question: “Which is first, egg or chicken?” In the evolution of life, we also encounter a similar question: “Which is first, RNA, DNA, or protein?” or “How do they co-evolute?” In such biological systems, a theory of co-evolution of biopolymers is necessary. H...

Understanding and Predicting Delay in Reciprocal Relations

Reciprocity in directed networks points to user’s willingness to return favors in building mutual interactions. High reciprocity has been widely observed in many directed social media networks such as following relations in Twitter and Tumblr. Therefore, reciprocal relations between users are often regarded as a basic mechanism to create stable social ties and play a crucial role in the formati...

Creating Reciprocal Value Through Operational Transparency

Reciprocal relations between kinetic curves

We study coupled irreversible processes. For linear or linearized kinetics with microreversibility, ẋ=Kx, the kinetic operator K is symmetric in the entropic inner product. This form of Onsager’s reciprocal relations implies that the shift in time, exp(Kt), is also a symmetric operator. This generates the reciprocity relations between the kinetic curves. For example, for the Master equation, if...

Criticism of Onsager's Reciprocal Relations

| Onsager's second kind of \reciprocal relations" state that (~ H) = T (? ~ H) where is the 3 3 conductance matrix, ~ H is an externally applied magnetic eld, and T means matrix transpose. This is only supposed to hold for \linear" materials for which the current density ~ J is related to the electric eld ~ E by h ~ Ji = ~ E. This is just one instance of a class of mathematically equivalent but...
