The Electronic Communications and Transactions Act of 2002 contain comprehensive on-line consumer protection provisions. In addition, the ECT Act offers safeguards and remedies for natural persons transacting with electronic agents. Yet, the dividing line between consumer transactions and automated transactions is spurious. More often than not, a transaction will fall within both the ambit of a...

This paper presents a model for the “gambling e¤ect,” i.e., the e¤ect that risky gambles are evaluated di¤erently than riskless outcomes due to an intrinsic utility (or disutility) of gambling. The model turns out to violate stochastic dominance and therefore its primary applications will be descriptive. It sheds new light on empirical observations of risk attitudes and provides new insights in...

To clarify advantages of unilateral electrode placement as an optimisation technique for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for depression, aims were to meta-analyse unilateral ECT effects on cognitive performance relative to: (1) bitemporal electrode placement, (2) electrical dosage, and (3) time interval between final treatment and cognitive reassessment. Relevant electronic databases were syste...

Because of the long colonial history of Filipinos and the highly Americanized climate of postcolonial Philippines, many scholars from various disciplines have speculated that colonialism and its legacies may play major roles in Filipino emigration to the United States. However, there are no known empirical studies in psychology that specifically investigate whether colonialism and its effects h...

to explore the possibility of using graphene based biosensor, adsorption of hydrogen peroxide on graphene has been investigated using density functional theory. the electronic properties of defect free and defective graphene in the presence of different number of hydrogen peroxide have been studied. the graphene with the most stable configuration defect named as sw defect is considered. the hig...

In the explosive growth of Business to Business (B2B) Electronic Trades, electronic markets have received a great deal of attention recently. The obtained profit of trading in E-B2B market encourage market participants to remain in the market. Market participants consist of: sellers, buyers, and market owner. In this paper the expected profit function for each market participant has been define...

Benefiting from the ability to image permittivity distribution of dielectric materials, electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) has been applied for multiphase flow metering decades as a contactless method. However, water-continuous brings challenges ECT since conductivity in water makes fail reconstruct distribution. Therefore, complex-valued (CV-ECT) is introduced both and based on measuremen...

Purpose: Determining whether adjunctive electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) with clozapine leads to better treatment response and fewer days in hospital for patients schizophrenia. Methods: Medical records of schizophrenia who were treated ECT-clozapine combination our women’s mental health clinic a period 5 years (between 01.02.2014 01.02.2019) investigated retrospectively. Clinical Global Impress...
