Proponents of epistocracy worry that high levels voter ignorance can harm democracies. To combat such ignorance, they recommend allocating comparatively more political power to politically knowledgeable citizens. In response, some recent critics contend epistocratic institutions risk causing even harm, since much evidence from psychology indicates citizens are typically biased, less open-minded...

A rational function can always be integrated, that is, the integral of such a is an elementary function. The integration procedure complex and consists four steps: elimination common zero-points numerator denominator, reduction to true function, decomposition into partial fractions obtained expressions using direct integration, substitution method or method. Integrating functions important beca...

The Game of Life, invented by John Horton Conway over 30 years ago, is probably the best known cellular automaton. An infinite rectangular grid divides the plane into squares called cells. Each cell can be dead or alive, but at any given moment only finitely many cells are alive. Each cell has eight neighbors. The evolution in (discrete) time follows simple rules: if at the moment n a cell is a...

The purpose of this symposium is to consider the implications of important recent work at the intersection of behavioral economics and information privacy. There is much to celebrate in this work, which has improved our understanding of the ways that markets in personal information actually function. Yet behavioral economic analysis has done little to defuse the most intractable problem that em...

in this article, a multi-objective function for placement of distributed generation (dg) and capacitors with thetap setting of under load tap changer (ultc) transformer is introduced. most of the recent articles have paidless attention to dg, capacitor placement and ultc effects in the distribution network simultaneously. insimulations, a comparison between different modes was carried out with,...
