Mobility increases the capacity of ad-hoc wireless networks

by Matthias Grossglauser, David Tse - IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING , 2002
"... The capacity of ad-hoc wireless networks is constrained by the mutual interference of concurrent transmissions between nodes. We study a model of an ad-hoc network where n nodes communicate in random source-destination pairs. These nodes are assumed to be mobile. We examine the per-session throughpu ..."

-session throughput for applications with loose delay constraints, such that the topology changes over the time-scale of packet delivery. Under this assumption, the per-user throughput can increase dramatically when nodes are mobile rather than fixed. This improvement can be achieved by exploiting node mobility as a

Understanding Social Preferences with Simple Tests

by Gary Charness, Matthew Rabin , 2001
"... Departures from self-interest in economic experiments have recently inspired models of “social preferences”. We design a range of simple experimental games that test these theories more directly than existing experiments. Our experiments show that subjects are more concerned with increasing social w ..."

welfare—sacrificing to increase the payoffs for all recipients, especially lowpayoff recipients—than with reducing differences in payoffs (as supposed in recent models). Subjects are also motivated by reciprocity: They withdraw willingness to sacrifice to achieve a fair outcome when others are themselves

Adolescence-limited and life-course-persistent antisocial behavior: A developmental taxonomy

by Terrie E. Moffitt - PSYCHOLOGICAL REVIEW , 1993
"... A dual taxonomy is presented to reconcile 2 incongruous facts about antisocial behavior: (a) It shows impressive continuity over age, but (b) its prevalence changes dramatically over age, increasing almost 10-fold temporarily during adolescence. This article suggests that delinquency conceals 2 dist ..."

The Protein Data Bank

by Helen M. Berman, John Westbrook, Zukang Feng, Gary Gilliland, T. N. Bhat, Helge Weissig, Ilya N. Shindyalov, Philip E. Bourne - Nucleic Acids Res , 2000
"... The Protein Data Bank (PDB; http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/ ) is the single worldwide archive of structural data of biological macromolecules. This paper describes the goals of the PDB, the systems in place for data deposition and access, how to obtain further information, and near-term plans for the futur ..."

deposited. In the 1980s the number of deposited structures began to increase dramatically. This was due to the improved technology for all aspects of the crystallographic process, the addition of structures determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods, and changes in the community views about data

Distributed hierarchical processing in the primate cerebral cortex

by Daniel J. Felleman, David C. Van Essen - Cereb Cortex , 1991
"... In recent years, many new cortical areas have been identified in the macaque monkey. The number of identified connections between areas has increased even more dramatically. We report here on (1) a summary of the layout of cortical areas associated with vision and with other modalities, (2) a comput ..."

An ecological perspective on health promotion programs

by Kenneth R. Mcleroy, Daniel Bibeau Phd, Allan Steckler Drph, Karen Glanz, Kenneth R. Mcleroy, Daniel Bibeau, Department Public Health - Health Education Quarterly , 1988
"... During the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in societal interest in preventing disability and death in the United States by changing individual behaviors linked to the risk of contracting chronic diseases. This renewed interest in health pro-motion and disease prevention has not been ..."

Review Of The Satisfaction With Life Scale

by William Pavot, Ed Diener , 2009
"... The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) was developed to assess satis-faction with the respondent’s life as a whole. The scale does not assess satisfaction with life domains such as health or finances but allows subjects to integrate and weight these domains in whatever way they choose. Normative d ..."

it assesses an individuals’ conscious evaluative judgment of his or her life by using the person’s own criteria. The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in research on the construct of sub-jective well-being (SWB; Diener, 1984; Diener & Larsen, 1993). This research has

A Simple, Fast, and Accurate Algorithm to Estimate Large Phylogenies by Maximum Likelihood

by Stéphane Guindon, Olivier Gascuel , 2003
"... The increase in the number of large data sets and the complexity of current probabilistic sequence evolution models necessitates fast and reliable phylogeny reconstruction methods. We describe a new approach, based on the maximumlikelihood principle, which clearly satisfies these requirements. The ..."

The effect of national culture on the choice of entry mode

by Bruce Kogut, Harbir Singh - Journal of International Business Studies , 1988
"... Abstract. Characteristics of national cultures have frequently been claimed to influence the selection of entry modes. This article investigates this claim by developing a theoretical argument for why culture should influence the choice of entry. Two hypotheses are derived which relate culture to en ..."

, wholly owned greenfield, and joint venture. Empirical support for the effect of national culture on entry choice is found. Foreign direct investment into the United States has grown dramatically since the early 1970s. Accompanying this increase has been a growth of academic work studying the phenomenon.1
