We investigate the strategic nature of farmers’ groundwater usage with a rich dataset from American Midwest. propose new revealed preference test for interaction as dynamic game. reject view decisions substitutes in favor complements better description.

In this study we compare revealed and stated-preference approaches to value traits of cattle in Kenya. The premise is that much can be learnt about non-market values of indigenous animal genetic resources (AnGRs) from the use of multi-attribute stated-preference methods, if these compare well with revealed-preference results. The objective is to investigate the performance of choice experiments...

Knowing whether an individual prefers the left or right hand for skilled activities is important to researchers in experimental psychology and neuroscience. The current study reports on a new measure of skilled hand preference derived from the Provins and Cunliffe (1972) handedness inventory. Undergraduates (n = 3324) indicated their lateral preference for their hands, feet, eyes and ears. A me...

BACKGROUND Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is defined as narrowing of the spinal canal. LSS is commonly treated conservatively, primarily with flexion-based exercises. We present a patient diagnosed with LSS, refractory to a flexion-based protocol who ultimately responded to an extension-based protocol following establishment of directional preference with three-step treadmill testing. DESCRIPTI...

Recognition memories are formed during perceptual experience and allow subsequent recognition of previously encountered objects as well as their distinction from novel objects. As a consequence, novel objects are generally explored longer than familiar objects by many species. This novelty preference has been documented in rodents using the novel object recognition (NOR) test, as well is in pri...

In gymnastics, most skills incorporate rotations about one or more body axes. At present, the question remains open if factors such as lateral preference and/or vestibulo-spinal asymmetry are related to gymnast's rotational preference. Therefore, we sought to explore relationships in gymnast's rotation direction between different gymnastic skills. Furthermore, we sought to explore relationships...
