Capital Deepening and Wage Differentials: Germany vs. US Capital deepening may affect the evolution of the wage differential between skilled and unskilled workers differently in countries with different labor market institutions.

The existence of compact dimensions which are accessible only to gravity represents an intriguing possible solution to the hierarchy problem. At present the strongest constraint on the existence of such compact Gravity-Only Dimensions (GODs) comes from SN 1987a. Here we report on the first self-consistent simulations of the early, neutrino-emitting phase of a proto-neutron star which include en...

Biblical texts attribute the same activities and features to biblical gods Yahweh Jesus, as other – mostly older of Ancient Near East gods. Almost all non-biblical have been transfered It means that religious thinkers shared common worldview. Our analysis undermines opinion uniqueness Judaism Christianity.

Both comparative and experimental evidence indicate that beliefs in moralizing high gods promote cooperation among humans, a behavioral attribute known to correlate with environmental harshness in nonhuman animals. Here we...

While physical note taking tools such as Post-Its afford lightweight reminding facilities through their ability to be situated in highly visible locations, available screen real estate limits how many digital notes we can have visible at the same time. In this paper, we present initial work towards achieving scalable lightweight reminding in large personal note collections, through Notes that F...

Charles J. Gomez on The Quantified Scholar and Study Gods.

Darius offered the political order of “king of kings” to solve the political crisis of his era. He legitimized it based on an order of gods. In his belief, the nature of politics was based on a dualistic religious worldview that is the fight between true divinity and false divinity’s will and performance in the world.
