The influence of individual or combined treatments of the chloroacetanilide herbicide preti­ lachlor and the safener fenclorim on glutathione content and the activity of glutathione reduc­ tase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST, EC 2.5.1.18) of rice (O ryza sativa L., var. Lamont) was investigated in a time-course study including 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h peri­ ods after treatme...

This paper investigates behavior in the Traveler’s Dilemma game and isolates deviations from textbook predictions caused by differences in welfare perceptions and strategic miscalculations. It presents the results of an experimental analysis based on a 2x2 design where the own and the other subject’s bonus-penalty parameters are changed independently. We find that the change in own bonus-penalt...

METHODS Prospective cohort study among 39 783 US women participating in the Women's Health S...

The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a technique that is heavily researched and used in applications for engineering and scientific fields for various purposes ranging from control systems to artificial intelligence. Its generalization powers have not only received admiration from the engineering and scientific fields, but in recent years, the finance researchers and practitioners are taking ...

KLEIN is a family of lightweight block ciphers presented at RFIDSec 2011 that combines a 4-bit Sbox with Rijndael’s byte-oriented MixColumn. This approach allows compact implementations of KLEIN in both low-end software and hardware. This paper shows that interactions between those two components lead to the existence of differentials of unexpectedly high probability: using an iterative collect...
