چکیده

Humans are social creatures that interact in a number of different and at least partially independent social settings, such as work, home, social and political organisations, and church. In each setting one has an identity, or set of identities, which one is called upon to achieve. To obtain and maintain an identity one must dedicate scarce resources. The benefits of expending these resources may be, among other things, income; wealth; success; prestige; power; security; respect; social acceptance; spiritual fulfillment; and salvation. To better understand how the individual makes his resource allocation decisions given the many possible interactions, both positive and negative, across his identities, changes in collective beliefs defining identity, and the substitutability or complementarity of identities, we develop a simple behavioural model of an individual whose personal identity is an amalgam of two identities. We interpret the model in the context of an individual with a secular and a religious identity.

This result contrasts with the theoretical findings of Jeitschko and Taylor [Jeitschko, T.D., Taylor, C., 2001. Local dis...

YCoC: A Simple Organometallic Polymer in the Solid State with Strong Co-C T Bonding

Gerss and Jeitschko recently synthesized YCoC, which contains well-isolated infinite linear CoC’ chains, marked by a short Co-C distance. We have examined the bonding in this polymer. It has substantial ?r character, and that bonding could be strengthened by decreasing the electron count or oxidation. We think the chains should be magnetic. Gerss and Jeitschko recently synthesized a series of t...
