This study examined the relation between the acquisition of false-beliefs theory of mind (ToM) and reciprocity in preschoolers. Preschool-aged children completed a task assessing the understanding of false beliefs, and played an Ultimatum Game (UG) with another child in a face-to-face setting. Negative reciprocity was assessed by examining the rejection of unfair offers made by another child in...

Precise mass flow control is an essential requirement for novel, small-scale fluidic systems. However, a small-volume, low-leakage proportional control valve for minute fluid flows has not yet been designed or manufactured. A survey is therefore made of the primary design considerations of a micromachined, proportional control valve. Performance requirements are identified based on various appl...

The US Security and Exchange Commission implemented Regulation Fair Disclosure in 2000, requiring that an issuer must make relevant information disclosed to any investor available to the general public in a fair manner. Focusing on firms that are affected by the regulation, we propose a model that characterizes the behavior of two types of investors—one professional investor and many small inve...

The FAIR Principles were designed to improve the findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability of data holdings by humans machines. principles can be applied research information too. We present results discussions that took place during series online workshops with experts on Research Information Guiding Principles. provide high-level criteria how foster findable, accessible, in...

Principles and applications are described for a new method for measuring the shielding performance of materials. The new method avoids the problems of common mode signal linkage to observations circuits, is fair to materials of various constructions and provides the basis for matching shielding performance to specific practical applications.

We present the rationale and the key design decisions for an ontology currently being built to support linking, sharing and further processing of pharmacovigilance signals. The main goal of the presented ontology is to provide a conceptual model describing such information towards FAIR data principles using the Linked Data paradigm.

We evaluate the W-exchange diagram within the framework of light cone sum rules (LCSR), taking B0 d → D s K+ as an example. This decay mode, though proceeding via the W-exchange diagram only and therefore expected to be highly suppressed, has the branching ratio 3.2 × 10−5. We estimate the W-exchange amplitude within LCSR, including soft gluon corrections, to twist-3 accuracy and show that ther...

Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) research seeks to promote fair collaboration between scientists in Africa and those from elsewhere. Here, we outline how concerns over inequality and exploitation led to a policy framework that places a firm focus on African leadership and capacity building as guiding principles for African genomics research.
