Behavioural economists have employed beauty contest games in order to test for agents’ depth of reasoning. In multi-player beauty contest games, fully rational players should all bid zero. In experiments, it is observed that average bids are consistently much greater than zero, which may reflect a population of players consisting of a combination of full and bounded rationality. In contrast, in...

Speakers from the forefront of fields including mathematics, physics, neuroscience, art and psychology explored the experience of beauty. Over two days, they considered what beauty from sensory sources such as music and art has in common with beauty from cognitive ones such as mathematics or from moral sources. Sir David Attenborough also considered whether some animals make judgments for aesth...

It is argued that M-theory compactifications on any of Joyce's Spin(7) holonomy 8-manifolds are dual to compactifications of het-erotic string theory on Joyce 7-manifolds of G 2 holonomy.

The distinctly over-developed American beauty culture virtually compels women to take part in a quest for physical perfection from the age of 5 until the day they die. Personal liberty amounts to the freedom to choose which of the available stereotypes one selects for oneself. This sad and horrific quest is well-established in Britain, only the intensity is different. 'Children basically don't ...

From measurements of tritium incorporation following the perfusion in situ of livers with blood enriched in 3HZ0, the rate of hepatic fatty acid and cholesterol biosynthesis in young nonfasted rats was found to be 7.0 and 0.09 pmoles per g of liver per hour, respectively. Newly synthesized fatty acids were utilized by liver in the same manner as has been shown by others for preformed fatty acid...

Rats fed a purified diet supplemented with erotic acid (1%) have gross alterations in their lipid metabolism that can be essentially nullified by further supplementation of the diet with adenine sulfate (0.25%), as described in the first paper of this series (1). Accompanying these changes are certain alterations in the metabolism of pyrimidine derivatives, which have been described in an earli...

This paper proposes a method for helping to identify adult web sites by using the image-content as means of detecting erotic material. The image content is classified by investigating probable skinregions, and extracting their feature vectors. These feature vectors are based on color-, texture-, contour-, placementand relative sizeinformation for a given region. The importance of the different ...

After emergence female houseflies were fed for 4 days on a diet containing r4C-erotic acid and 3H-thymidine-5-triphosphate, or 3H-leucine. Nucleic acids and ribosomes were then isolated from the ovaries and studied by MAK column chromatography and sedimentation analysis respectively. The ultraviolet absorption and radioactivity of the fractions were also measured. After MAK column chromatograph...

Experienced value representations within the human orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) are thought to be organized through an antero-posterior gradient corresponding to secondary versus primary rewards. Whether this gradient depends upon specific morphological features within this region, which displays considerable intersubject variability, remains unknown. To test the existence of such relationships, ...

Abstract E. T. A. Hoffmann's Haimatochare , an epistolary fiction set in Hawaii, defamiliarizes the narrative of erotic colonial fantasy by coaxing reader into assumption that its alluring central figure is Indigenous woman and then revealing her to be insect. This article studies dynamics misapprehension within text, beginning with Walter Benjamin's misreading title as “Heimatochare,” a mistak...
