The semantics of languages, including the semantic rules which valid programs must obey, erect many interactions among language constructs. When implementing the interactions, the resulting coupling among constructs cripple future evolutions. Effectively reducing this coupling requires a large arsenal of implementation techniques, which we refer to as interaction strategies. These range from of...

Although metal-based anticancer drugs have been recognized as the most effective agents over the organic compounds, non-selectivity and high toxic effects have limited their applications in a way that only three Pt-analogues have progressed into clinical use. These problems have spurred chemists to develop different strategies based on alternative targets. This work focuses on predicting potenc...

How do Whites approach interracial interactions? We argue that a previously unexamined factor-beliefs about the malleability of racial bias-guides Whites' strategies for difficult interracial interactions. We predicted and found that those who believe racial bias is malleable favor learning-oriented strategies such as taking the other person's perspective and trying to learn why an interaction ...
