For many years, the business management literature proposed that managers could help their fi rms discover win/ win opportunities that protect the environment while simultaneously increasing profi ts (Porter and van der Linde 1995b ; Hart 1995 ).

Resources are often distributed in clumps or patches in space, unless an agent is trying to protect them from discovery and theft using a dispersed distribution. We uncover human expectations of such spatial resource patterns in collaborative and competitive settings via a sequential multi-person game in which participants hid resources for the next participant to seek. When collaborating, reso...

in this study, the binding of amlodipine (a ca ++ channel blocker) and arsenic (metalloid) to bovine serum albumin (bsa) was studied by equilibrium dialysis(ed) method in order to have an insight into their binding chemistry to bsa. free amlodipine concentration was increased due to addition of arsenic which reduced the binding of the compounds to bsa. however, the free fraction was not increas...

We derive learning rates such that all training patterns are equally important statistically and the learning outcome is independent of the order in which training patterns are presented, if the competitive neurons win the same sets of training patterns regardless the order of presentation. We show that under these schemes, the learning rules in the two different weight normalization approaches...

In this paper I introduce what I call the reduced form approach to studying the plaintiff’s win rate in litigation selection models. A reduced form comprises a joint distribution of plaintiff’s and defendant’s beliefs concerning the probability that the plaintiff would win in the event a dispute were litigated; a conditional win rate function that tells us the actual probability of a plaintiff ...

The experimental group was given eight session trainin...

Previous research has argued that skills acquired explicitly are more likely to fail under stressful conditions than skills that have been learned implicitly. The present study addressed an alternative explanation for the robustness under stress of implicit task performance. As implicit learners acquired the skill of golf putting while generating random letters, it is possible that they became ...
