By necessity, grizzly bear demographic models have largely ignored spatial considerations (McLellan 1989, Eberhardt et al. 1994, Eberhardt 1995, Hovey and McLellan 1996). However, ignoring spatial heterogeneity is equivalent to assuming that individuals live in a homogeneous environment and that all members of the population experience the same environmental conditions at any point in time (Pul...

A prototypical finding of social cognition is that social experiences influence later performance even though those experiences are not introspectively available. Building on social cognition research on implicit attitudes, we evaluate whether ethnic category/attribute pairs influence eye movements during the Implicit Association Test (IAT, Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz 1998). Results show that...

Recently we found that the theories related to information theory existent in the literature cannot explain the behavior of the extent of the lateral inhibition mediated by retinal horizontal cells as a function of background light intensity. These theories can explain the fall of the extent from intermediate to high intensities, but not its rise from dim to intermediate intensities. We propose...

We prove that every continuous linear functional on the space S(R) consisting of the entire analytic functions whose Fourier transforms belong to the Schwartz space D has a unique minimal carrier cone in R, which substitutes for the support. The proof is based on a relevant decomposition theorem for elements of the spaces S(K) associated naturally with closed cones K ⊂ R. These results, essenti...

since 2001 the adoption of iran accounting standards has become obligatory. this study by using a sample of companies listed in tehran stock exchange (tse) compares the value relevance of ten selected accounting variables in two periods, before mandatory adaption of accounting standards (1996-1998) and after that (2005-2007). in this study the researchers have tried to control the effect of eco...
