We examine the extent to which multiple social identities are associated with enhanced health and well-being in retirement because they provide a basis for giving and receiving social support. Results from a cross-sectional study show that retirees (N = 171) who had multiple social identities following (but not prior to) retirement report being (a) more satisfied with retirement, (b) in better ...

The traditional identity-based cryptography requires a user, who holds multiple identities, to hold multiple private keys, where each private key is associated with an identity. Managing multiple private/public keys is a heavy burden to a user due to key management and storage. The recent advancement of identity-based cryptography allow a single private key to map multiple public keys (identiti...

where a = 0 or 1, are among the most famous q-series identities in partitions and combinatorics. Since their discovery the Rogers-Ramanujan identities have been proved and generalized in various ways (see [2, 4, 5, 13] and the references cited there). In [13], by adapting a method of Macdonald for calculating partial fraction expansions of symmetric formal power series, Stembridge gave an unusu...

We make four contributions to the literature on voter coordination and identities: First, we find that natural identities have a stronger negative influence on coordination than payoff relevant minimal identities. Second, communication and repeated interaction can significantly increase coordination in both cases. Third, we show that multiple natural identities negatively affect coordination, b...

Social impacts associated with new telecommunication innovations greatly affect both globalisation and territorial identities. Apparently contradictory trends bring with them elements of rapid social change and political uncertainty. This chapter reflects on the conjunction of both dimensions of the local and the global, and carries out a prescription of the progressive consolidation of a new c...

R ecently, companies have been experiencing a period where the corporate identity landscape has become more active and more crowded. For example: • Mergers, spin-offs, acquisitions, and alliances have led to many new or meaningfully changed companies, in turn calling for new identities by name and/or business focus. • The proliferation of dot.com and new technology companies created many new (a...

A topic that is keeping cell biologists across several fields occupied is how the AAA ATPase p97 can have so many apparently unrelated functions. A recent model that proposed sets of adaptors for p97 selected according to the type of p97 activity seemed to afford a simple solution. For example, one known adaptor, the Ufd1-Npl4 complex, has been implicated in ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis wher...

This introductory essay explores the span of forensic psychology and examines the roles of forensic psychology practitioners. We adopt a broad definition for forensic psychology as witnessed by the topics included in the handbook. However, we argue that the term forensic psychologist is unhelpful and potentially misleading as no one individual can hope to have the breadth and depth of knowledge...

Abstract. We define two finite q-analogs of certain multiple harmonic series with an arbitrary number of free parameters, and prove identities for these q-analogs, expressing them in terms of multiply nested sums involving the Gaussian binomial coefficients. Special cases of these identities—for example, with all parameters equal to 1—have occurred in the literature. The special case with only ...

We argue that the current approaches to online social networking give rise to numerous challenges regarding the management of the multiple facets of people’s digital identities within and around social networking sites (SNS). We propose an architecture for enabling people to better manage their SNS identities that is informed by the way the core Internet protocols developed to support interoper...
