In a pairwise interaction, an individual who uses costly punishment must pay a cost in order that the opponent incurs a cost. It has been argued that individuals will behave more cooperatively if they know that their opponent has the option of using costly punishment. We examined this hypothesis by conducting two repeated two-player Prisoner's Dilemma experiments, that differed in their payoffs...

Punjabi and Hindi are two closely related languages as both originated from the same origin and having lot of syntactic and semantic similarities. These similarities make direct translation methodology an obvious choice for Punjabi-Hindi language pair. The purposed system for Punjabi to Hindi translation has been implemented with various research techniques based on Direct MT architecture and l...

Research is connected with elaboration of the calculating module VarWELD, using MS Excel software, for item-by-item examination of various combinations of variable parameters of spot resistance welding as well as analysis of possible solutions for managing the characteristics of the process. Mentioned examination is one of the main stages of analogue modeling. Analogue modeling is new perspecti...

Three competing hypotheses have been proposed for the cortical representation of the blind spot. These are: (i) the regions surrounding the blind spot maintain their spatial values; (ii) the opposite sides of the blind spot are represented adjacently at the cortex, so that the blind spot is "sewn-up"; and (iii) the blind spot is sewn-up with compensation occurring in the immediate surround of t...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Standard (static) CT angiography is used to identify the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) spot sign. We used dynamic CT-angiography to describe spot sign characteristics and measurement parameters over 60-seconds of image acquisition. METHODS We prospectively identified consecutive patients presenting with acute ICH within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, and collected whole b...

In this paper, we deene and formalize the concept of software diversity, which characterizes N-Version Software (NVS) from four diierent points of view that are designated as: structural diversity, fault diversity, tough-spot diversity, and failure diversity. Our goals are to nd a way to quantify software diversity and to investigate the measurements which can be applied during the life cycle o...

The use of metamerism index & color inconstancy index is studied for approval of spot colors used in decorative gravure products, especially spot colors, which are viewed under different light sources at the customer’s end. This work shows that the metamerism index is not sufficient for approval of spot colors, because it doesn’t provide any idea about how colors will transform under different ...

Background: In intracavitary brachytherapy for gynecological cancers, various techniques are used to locate the anterior rectal wall nearest to the sources but there is no consensus on the best method to do so. This study aimed to compare a technique used routinely in some centers that employs a wire marker to locate the position of the maximum rectal dose point, versus the method recommended b...

There is a body of literature concerning or related to the detection of source code texts that have the same origin. This paper presents a survey of such literature, and provides an overview of the topic.
