Behavioral economics has demonstrated systematic decision-making biases in both lab and field data. Do these biases extend across contexts, cultures, or even species? We investigate this question by introducing fiat currency and trade to a colony of capuchin monkeys and recovering their preferences over a range of goods and gambles. We show that capuchins react rationally to both price and weal...

since the beginning of human history, one of the basic dilemmas that every political institution must solve is how to exercise legitimate authority- that is, how to govern with the consent. “you can’t sit on bayonets,” goes an old political expression. this is a way of saying that although a state can exercise its power through the use of police force or coercion, in the long run the use of for...

background: an explosion of research has been done in discovering how human health is affected by environmental factors. i will discuss the impacts of environmental cancer causing factors and how they continue to cause multiple disruptions in cellular networking. some risk factors may not cause cancer. other factors initiate consecutive genetic mutations that would eventually alter the normal p...

mystical language has always been one of the most prominent fields of investigation since the very beginning of its evolution. it has also been taken deep into account not only by the mystics, but also by the researchers concerned. after the flourishing of theorising in the 20th century, and the emergence of the theory of formalism, due to its analytical and scientific strength, many researcher...

a fundamental topic in computational fluid dynamics is the role of coordinate particularly for searching optimized coordinates. the objective of this study is the numerical modeling of supersonic flows using a new coordinate system i.e. unified coordinate system (ucs) uses moving mesh with motionless viewing window technique. ucs has an advantage over traditional coordinate systems (eulerian an...
