Geiger-counter apparatus in which several counters may be placed in any position relative to each other is described. A circular arrangement of counters to give a counting rate approximately independent of the position of a so urce near the center of the circle is discussed. The relation of the I osition of the source to the counting rate of a single Geiger counter is discus ed. A method of cal...

Based on the self-licensing literature and goal theory, we expected and found that completed (im)moral actions lead to markedly different food choices (Studies 1 & 2) than intended (im)moral actions (Study 2). In Study 1, people more often chose healthy over unhealthy food options when they recalled a completed egoistic action than when they recalled a completed altruistic action. Study 2 confi...

Through the modeling of ecosystems, evolutionary game theory brings such diverse fields as biology, ecology, economics and sociology under the umbrella of mathematical sciences [1, 2, 3]. One central objective of evolutionary game theory is to understand the workings of cooperative behavior among the individuals in an ecosystem. Since the publication of the work by Axelrot on the prisoner’s dil...

concurrently, organizations must respond effectively to social expectations and moral law and to achieve success in all areas and by respecting professional ethics adopt an appropriate procedure to achieve these expectations align with organizational goals to facilitates promotion of social accountability and realization of higher goals. in this study, we have formulated a framework by reviewin...

Purpose: Past empirical investigations on financial ethics have failed to provide an analysis of the primary unethical banking practices prevalent in Kenya’s industry, or perceptions professionals type concerns they believe might be influencing their resolution making. This study aimed at investigating impact ethical performance small and medium banks Kenya. The specific objectives this researc...

Extensive United States combat operations commenced for the first time in over decade in 2003. Early in 2004 there was no human research protection regulatory review and approval mechanism based in a deployed military combatant command. The absence of such a system presented a critical impediment to implementation of the time-honored tradition of a robust combat casualty care research effort. A...

Discussions within normative ethics would be facilitated by a classification that treat actions and moral norms within the same functional framework. Based on evolutionary biology, we distinguish five categories of action. Four of these selfishness, kin selection, group egoism, and reciprocity benefit the individual's genetic interest and may be described as "broad self-interest", but not so al...

The data related in this paper are related to "Environmental-behavior studies of sustainable construction of the third place - based on outdoor environment-behavior cross-feed symbiotic analysis and verification of selective activities" (Ren, 2017) [1]. The dataset was from a field sub-time extended investigation to children of Hohhot West Inner Mongolia Electric Power Community Residential Are...

X-ray emission spectra recorded in the off-resonant regime carry information on the density of unoccupied states. It is known that by employing the Kramers-Heisenberg formalism, the high energy resolution off-resonant spectroscopy (HEROS) is equivalent to the x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) technique and provides the same electronic state information. Moreover, in the present Letter we demo...
