Women’s rights are closely related to economic development. This is true both across countries, where women have most rights in the richest countries, and in time series data: women have slowly improved their legal position in parallel with fast improvements in the standard of living. In most cases, the initial extension of rights to women amounted to a voluntary renouncement of power by men. I...

Despite the historical importance of translational research to social psychological investigations of social justice issues, the culture and incentives of contemporary social psychology are ambivalent towards non-experimental field research. This ambivalence poses a significant impediment to social psychology’s role in societal change. This paper offers a brief history of how the field evolved ...

Translational physiology, and for that matter translational sciences, has long been a buzzword discussed in multiple forums; however, often the term translational is equated to clinical or preclinical studies. Although these studies are translational, there is a much wider swath of scientific inquiry, especially within the field of physiology, that should fall under the rubric of translational ...

the proposal lateral load pattern for pushover analysis is given in two forms for symmetric concrete buildings: 1-(x/h)0.5 for low-rise and mid-rise buildings, 2- sin(πx/h) for high-rise buildings. these two forms give more realistic results as compared to conventional load patterns such as triangular and uniform load patterns. the assumed buildings of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 30 story concrete bui...

understanding of the natural history of chronic hbv infection is useful for presenting the optimal management of chronic hbv infection. the aim of this study was to evaluate the natural history of chronic hepatitis b infection.in this cross sectional study, 219 untreated chronic hepatitis b patients from jan. 2010 to aug. 2012 were included. the subjects were classified in four groups based on ...

This work is on the influence of rotational component earthquake excitations to response steel structures. In most studies, seismic input being modeled only using translational ground acceleration, while one ignored. was due observation that had minimal effect low-rise buildings. Hence, accelerometers used would not measure it, leading a lack records. Nowadays, technology provides such instrume...

Word embeddings are a powerful approach for unsupervised analysis of language. Recently, Rudolph et al. (2016) developed exponential family embeddings, which cast word embeddings in a probabilistic framework. Here, we develop dynamic embeddings, building on exponential family embeddings to capture how the meanings of words change over time. We use dynamic embeddings to analyze three large colle...
