This study analyzed the relationships between the inclination to help the others and prosocial moral reasoning (PMR) in a sample of 548 Italian adolescents and young adults. We used the Italian version of Prosocial Tendencies Measure to evaluate the tendencies to adopt prosocial behaviors in different conditions (public, anonymous, and helping behavior in emotionally critical and dire situation...

The decay of the elastic X-ray intensity peak versus perpendicular transferred momentum is theoretically studied at energies close to the LII edge, for single crystal Fe surfaces and thin Fe films. For the single crystal surface, large intensity changes are observed upon reversal of the direction of the magnetisation. For thin Fe films, which are known to exhibit perpendicular magnetisation, an...

In 1978, Chvátal and Thomassen proved that every 2-edge-connected graph with diameter 2 has an orientation with diameter at most 6. They also gave general bounds on the smallest value f(d) such that every 2-edge-connected graph G with diameter d has an orientation with diameter at most f(d). For d = 3, their general bounds reduce to 8 ≤ f(3) ≤ 24. We improve these bounds to 9 ≤ f(3) ≤ 11.

Magnetic field based micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) devices are proposed that use 10 nm diameter magnetic particles, with and without a carrier fluid, for a new class of nanoduct flows, nanomotors, nanogenerators, nanopumps, nanoactuators, and other similar nanoscale devices. A few examples of macroscopic ferrohydrodynamic instabilities that result in patterns, lines, and struc...

Observing the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect during a planetary transit allows determination of angle λ between sky projections star's spin axis and planet's orbital axis. Such observations have revealed large population well-aligned systems smaller misaligned systems, with values ranging up to 180°. For subset 57 we can now go beyond projection determine 3D obliquity ψ by combining data constraint...
