We combine survey data on friendship networks and individual characteristics with experimental observations from dictator games. Dictator offers are primarily explained by social distance giving follows a simple inverse distance law. While student demographics play a minor role in explaining offer amounts, individual heterogeneity is important for network formation. In particular, we detect sig...

El objetivo de este trabajo es problematizar la lectura que Alexandra von Teuffenbach ha hecho sobre el actuar del sacerdote alemán Joseph Kentenich, a quien denuncia por haber cometido abuso poder, espiritual y emocional contra un grupo Hermanas María en los años 50. De acuerdo con investigadora, una revisión expedientes vaticanos daría cuenta razón Kentenich habría sufrido exilio durante 14 f...

A quantum theory of thermal reaction rates is presented which may be viewed as an extension of the recently developed "quantum instanton" (QI) model [W. H. Miller, Y. Zhao, M. Ceotto, and S. Yang, J. Chem. Phys. 119, 1329 (2003)]. It is based on using higher derivatives of the flux-flux autocorrelation function C(t) (as given by Miller, Schwartz, and Tromp) at t=0 to construct a short time appr...

In many situations, the numerical derivative of a function at a point x must be calculated since the function is not defined by a closed-form expression, but rather by values of the function at grid points at and around x. This typically arises when enforcing the boundary conditions while solving a differential equation. Usually, one employs a 2or 3-point formula to approximate the derivative. ...

in this paper, we give some characterizations for legendre spherical, legendre normal and legendre rectifying curves in the 3-dimensional sasakian space. furthermore, we show that legendre spherical curves are also legendre normal curves. in particular, we prove that the inverse of curvature of a legendre rectifying curve is a non-constant linear function of the arclength parameter.
