This paper empirically investigates the link between ethics, earnings and gender. Using a self-reported measure from a longitudinal survey of registrants for the Graduate Management Admission Test, we find that ethical character is negatively associated with males’ wages. For females, however, this relationship does not hold. In addition, using measures of the degree to which ethics is emphasiz...

The interactive approach of character animation requires sophisticated motion synthesis algorithms to generate poses and motions for unpredictable events. Traditional animation techniques used alone cannot produce the needed degree of realism or the degree of controllability required for virtual characters. Motion-capture techniques and the physical simulation of characters, when combined, offe...

a nontrivial multiplicative character of k. We extend χ to k by defining χ(0) = 0. We wish to consider character sums over An, n ≥ 1, of the following form. We are given a polynomial f (x) := f (x1, . . . , xn) in k[x1, . . . ,Xn] of degree d ≥ 1, and we are given a second polynomial g(X) := g(x1, . . . , xn) in k[x1, . . . , xn] of degree e ≥ 1. We are interested in understanding when the sum ...

The task of informing the cancer patient is considered an arduous one as it typically involves breaking bad news to the patient. It appears that the adoption of an empathic approach is vital within a therapeutic relationship. This applies to every character or personality type, perhaps more so to the arrogant patient with a feeling of superiority. The question "Is it possible to determine who s...

by a quasi-permutation matrix we mean a square matrix over the complex field c with non-negative integral trace. thus every permutation matrix over c is a quasipermutation matrix. for a given finite group g, let p(g) denote the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation of g (or of a faithful representation of g by permutation matrices), let q(g) denote the minimal degree of a fait...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Trainees' interpretations of neuroradiologic studies are finalized by faculty neuroradiologists. We aimed to identify the factors that determine the degree to which the preliminary reports are modified. MATERIALS AND METHODS The character length of the preliminary and final reports and the percentage character change between the 2 reports were determined for neuroradiol...

While we were graduate students, Marty Isaacs and I worked together on the character theory of finite groups, studying in particular the character degrees of finite p-groups. Somewhat later, my interests turned to ring theory and infinite group theory. On the other hand, Marty continued with character theory and soon became a leader in the field. Indeed, he has had a superb career as a research...

As digital cameras have been used widely, a technology to extract features of character string areas from scenery (nature) image is required. However, it is very difficult to extract character string areas from a complex background of scenery image as compared wit,h a relatively simple background of documentary image. Human can extract of character string areas from scenery image having complex...

allama qutb al-din shirazi, is one of the elders and luminaries of iran and the islamic world and one of the great characters in the history of science in the world. despite of the popularity of allameh qutb al-din in medicine, he had reached to a degree of scientific development in different fields of science, literature, art and even folk art that he can be cited as an expert in that field. a...
