This study investigates if and why assessing relevance of clinical records for a clinical retrieval task is cognitively demanding. Previous research has highlighted the challenges and issues information retrieval systems are faced with when determining the relevance of documents in this domain, e.g., the vocabulary mismatch problem. Determining if this assessment imposes cognitive load on human...

Although everyday life is often demanding, it remains unclear how demanding conditions impact self-regulation. Some theories suggest that demanding conditions impair self-regulation, by undermining autonomy, interfering with skilled performance and working memory, and depleting energy resources. Other theories, however, suggest that demanding conditions improve self-regulation by mobilizing sup...

The electrocatalytic proton reduction activity of a Ni bis(diphosphine) (NiP) and a cobaloxime (CoP) catalyst has been studied in water in the presence of the gaseous inhibitors O2 and CO. CoP shows an appreciable tolerance towards O2, but its activity suffers severely in the presence of CO. In contrast, NiP is strongly inhibited by O2, but produces H2 under high CO concentrations.

We introduce a new perspective on how assumptions about preferences and demand affect firm behavior and economic performance. Our key innovation is the “Demand Manifold,” which links the elasticity and convexity of an arbitrary demand function. We show that it is a sufficient statistic for many comparative statics questions, leads naturally to some new families of demand functions, and relates ...

Aalesund University College (AAUC) is situated in an area of industry companies developing the most advanced equipment and procedures for safe ship operations. AAUC has established a close cooperation with these private technology developers for the purpose of joint research and testing in this field. This work deals with the design of tomorrow’s ship bridges. In the light of the bridge officer...

We discuss a model, in which two agents may distribute finitely many objects among themselves. The conflict is resolved by means of a market procedure. Depending on the specifications, this procedure serves to implement bargaining solutions such as the discrete Raiffa solution, the Kalai-Smorodinsky solution and the Perles-Maschler solution. The latter is axiomatized using the superadditivity a...
