| pharmacoproteomics: a chess game on a protein field. | the application of proteomics in the field of drug discovery development and the assessment of drug administration is known as pharmacoproteomics. as a branch of proteomics--perhaps the most promising and rapidly evolving field of the post-genomic era--pharmacoproteomics has inherited all the promises that pharmacogenomics has hitherto left unfulfilled. on the road to tailor-made drugs, whole protein profiles of healthy individuals have been progressively expanded, either qualitatively or quanti ... | 2010 | 20969973 |
| body image and dieting attitudes among preadolescents. | differences in body image and dieting concerns were assessed in preadolescent boys and girls across the body mass index (bmi) spectrum. the hypothesis was that girls would express more concern with body size, report more dieting, and receive more advice than boys. | 2010 | 20825692 |
| how to provide care for patients suffering from terminal non-oncological diseases: barriers to a palliative care approach. | despite the seemingly evident pertinence of palliative care for patients suffering from non-oncological long-term life-threatening diseases, everyday clinical practice is far from that assumption. this study aims to explore palliative care service provision for these patients in spain. patients, family caregivers and healthcare professionals were interviewed, individually or in a group, aiming at identifying barriers in the provision of care and strategies to overcome them. ritchie and spencer's ... | 2010 | 20817747 |
| ecology and biogeography of free-living nematodes associated with chemosynthetic environments in the deep sea: a review. | here, insight is provided into the present knowledge on free-living nematodes associated with chemosynthetic environments in the deep sea. it was investigated if the same trends of high standing stock, low diversity, and the dominance of a specialized fauna, as observed for macro-invertebrates, are also present in the nematodes in both vents and seeps. | 2010 | 20805986 |
| students come to medical schools prepared to cheat: a multi-campus investigation. | to investigate high school cheating experiences and attitudes towards academic misconduct of freshmen at all four medical schools in croatia, as a post-communist country in transition, with intention of raising awareness of academic (dis)honesty. | 2010 | 20797977 |
| development of a health-related website for parents of children receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplant: hsct-chess. | parents of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant (hsct) play a pivotal role in the care of their child during and after transplant. in addition to the child's comforter, parents also serve as care coordinators and conduits of communication between various health care providers, family and community members. the stress on the parent and family is enormous during this process, which for many is compounded by geographic dislocation to accompany their child during the rigorous treatment and r ... | 2010 | 19967409 |
| automatic chessboard detection for intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameter calibration. | there are increasing applications that require precise calibration of cameras to perform accurate measurements on objects located within images, and an automatic algorithm would reduce this time consuming calibration procedure. the method proposed in this article uses a pattern similar to that of a chess board, which is found automatically in each image, when no information regarding the number of rows or columns is supplied to aid its detection. this is carried out by means of a combined analys ... | 2010 | 22294912 |
| does playing blindfold chess reduce the quality of game: comments on chabris and hearst (2003). | blindfold chess is a special type of chess game where both the board and pieces are not visible to its players. this paper aims to determine whether the quality of the game played blindfolded is lower than when played under normal conditions. the best chess program was used to analyze games played by the world's top grandmasters under both conditions. we have analyzed the monaco 1993-1998 data set introduced by chabris and hearst (2003). the results showed that although a larger number of mistak ... | 2010 | 21564205 |
| [the role of gut instinct is an important subject]. | the role of gut instinct in general practice is an important topic. the reliance on gut instinct by experienced doctors is thought to be a form of intuitive decision-making which fits in with system 1 processes in the dual process model in higher cognition. special mention is made of the theories on intuitive decision-making by the famous dutch psychologist de groot, who, when investigating thought processes of chess masters more than half a century ago, developed a fundamental theory on intuiti ... | 2010 | 20298631 |

| rice and perfluorocarbon liquid pads: comparison of fat suppression effects. | with the chemical shift selective (chess) method, lingering fat signals remain because of the effects of nonuniformity in the magnetic field. one method to reduce this phenomenon is the use of pads filled with rice (rice pad), but the improvement in fat suppression effects with rice pads, as compared with conventional perfluorocarbon liquid pads, remains unclear. | 2010 | 20235744 |
| [ontogenetic formation of stereognosis brain mechanism (eeg study)]. | in this study the age specificity of inter- and intrahemispheric relations during stereognostic task (tactile identification of predetermined chess-like pieces with right or left hand) in adults and children of 5-6, 7-8 an 9-10 years old is considered. the combined pattern of cortical interactions was revealed in adults. its appeared in significant increasing (compared to baseline) of interhemispheric eeg relations along with increasing of system interactions of anterior and posterior cortex are ... | 2010 | 20196444 |
| predictors and effects of training on an online health education and support system for women with breast cancer. | many breast cancer patients currently turn to internet-based education and support to help them cope with their illness. this study explores the role of training in influencing how patients use a particular interactive cancer communication system (iccs) over time and also examines what pre-test characteristics predict which people are most likely to opt in or out of training in the first place. with use of pre-test survey and unobtrusive individual records of iccs system use data (n = 216), nonp ... | 2010 | 21949474 |
| impact of plant flowering phenology on the cost/benefit balance in a nursery pollination mutualism, with honest males and cheating females. | this study documents the flowering phenology and its potential consequences on a nursery pollination mutualism between a dioecious plant, in which honest male plants, but not cheating females, allow the specific pollinator to reproduce within inflorescences. very few pollinators were found to emerge during plant anthesis, leading to a low (if any) potential benefit through pollen dispersal. this opens the question why male plants do not also cheat their pollinators. female plants flowered late i ... | 2010 | 20345818 |
| physician assistant students' attitudes and behaviors toward cheating and academic integrity. | to examine physician assistant (pa) students' attitudes towards academic integrity. three integrity factors were assessed: academic environment, personal cheating behaviors, and perceived seriousness of specific cheating behaviors. | 2010 | 21141417 |
| selection on signal–reward correlation: limits and opportunities to the evolution of deceit in turnera ulmifolia l. | because pollinators are unable to directly assess the amount of rewards offered by flowers, they rely on the information provided by advertising floral traits. thus, having a lower intra-individual correlation between signal and reward (signal accuracy) than other plants in the population provides the opportunity to reduce investment in rewards and cheat pollinators. however, pollinators' cognitive capacities can impose a limit to the evolution of this plant cheating strategy if they can punish ... | 2010 | 21121090 |
| biogeography and potential exchanges among the atlantic equatorial belt cold-seep faunas. | like hydrothermal vents along oceanic ridges, cold seeps are patchy and isolated ecosystems along continental margins, extending from bathyal to abyssal depths. the atlantic equatorial belt (aeb), from the gulf of mexico to the gulf of guinea, was one focus of the census of marine life chess (chemosynthetic ecosystems) program to study biogeography of seep and vent fauna. we present a review and analysis of collections from five seep regions along the aeb: the gulf of mexico where extensive faun ... | 2010 | 20700528 |
| the interplay of cognition and cooperation. | cooperation often involves behaviours that reduce immediate payoffs for actors. delayed benefits have often been argued to pose problems for the evolution of cooperation because learning such contingencies may be difficult as partners may cheat in return. therefore, the ability to achieve stable cooperation has often been linked to a species' cognitive abilities, which is in turn linked to the evolution of increasingly complex central nervous systems. however, in their famous 1981 paper, axelrod ... | 2010 | 20679113 |
| child health ecological surveillance system (chess) for childhood obesity: a feasibility study. | to assess the feasibility of employing an ecologically guided childhood obesity relevant surveillance system. | 2010 | 20609293 |
| crime and punishment in a roaming cleanerfish. | cheating is common in cooperative interactions, but its occurrence can be controlled by various means ranging from rewarding cooperators to active punishment of cheaters. punishment occurs in the mutualism involving the cleanerfish labroides dimidiatus and its reef fish clients. when l. dimidiatus cheats, by taking scales and mucus rather than ectoparasites, wronged clients either chase or withhold further visits to the dishonest cleaner, which leads to more cooperative future interactions. puni ... | 2010 | 20573626 |
| improved chess imaging with the use of rice pads: investigation in the neck, shoulder, and elbow. | to investigate the feasibility of rice pads for improving nonuniform fat suppression in magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of the neck, shoulder, and elbow using the chemical shift selective (chess) technique. | 2010 | 20512907 |

| attachment, authenticity, and honesty: dispositional and experimentally induced security can reduce self- and other-deception. | attachment security is hypothesized to promote authenticity and sincerity, or honesty, whereas insecurity is hypothesized to increase various forms of inauthenticity and dishonesty. the authors tested these ideas in 8 studies of dispositional and situational attachment insecurities and their influence on inauthenticity and dishonesty. the first 4 studies showed that authenticity is related to scoring low on the 2 dimensions of dispositional attachment insecurity-anxiety and avoidance-and that th ... | 2010 | 20438228 |
| fat suppression with short inversion time inversion-recovery and chemical-shift selective saturation: a dual stir-chess combination prepulse for turbo spin echo pulse sequences. | to test a newly developed fat suppression magnetic resonance imaging (mri) prepulse that synergistically uses the principles of fat suppression via inversion recovery (stir) and spectral fat saturation (chess), relative to pure chess and stir. this new technique is termed dual fat suppression (dual-fs). | 2010 | 20432368 |
| do green products make us better people? | consumer choices reflect not only price and quality preferences but also social and moral values, as witnessed in the remarkable growth of the global market for organic and environmentally friendly products. building on recent research on behavioral priming and moral regulation, we found that mere exposure to green products and the purchase of such products lead to markedly different behavioral consequences. in line with the halo associated with green consumerism, results showed that people act ... | 2010 | 20424089 |
| lineages that cheat death: surviving the squeeze on range size. | evolutionary lineages differ greatly in their net diversification rates, implying differences in rates of extinction and speciation. lineages with a large average range size are commonly thought to have reduced extinction risk (although linking low extinction to high diversification has proved elusive). however, climate change cycles can dramatically reduce the geographic range size of even widespread species, and so most species may be periodically reduced to a few populations in small, isolate ... | 2010 | 20408877 |
| when will evolution lead to deceptive signaling in the sir philip sidney game? | sir philip sidney games are a widely used model of simple signaling. johnstone and grafen [johnstone, r.a., grafen, a., 1993. dishonesty and the handicap principle. animal behaviour 46, 759-764] present a version in which the evolutionarily stable strategy (ess) is for most signalers to "honestly" signal, with a small minority of signalers who "cheat". this model is among the most frequently cited papers on the topic of "dishonest" signaling and supports the view that signals may be "dishonest" ... | 2010 | 19268678 |
| clean olympians? doping and anti-doping: the views of talented young british athletes. | review articles suggest a small but significant proportion (between 3 and 12%) of male adolescents have used anabolic-androgenic steroids (aas) at some point (yesalis and bahrke, 2000; calfee and fadale, 2006). in sport, the use of prohibited substances or processes to enhance performance, collectively referred to as 'doping', is banned by both sports' national and international governing bodies, and by the world anti-doping agency (wada) who run an extensive testing programme and educational in ... | 2010 | 20056401 |

| rice pads: novel devices for homogeneous fat suppression in the knee. | in magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of the knee joint, when imaging the knee in a flexed position using the chemical-shift-selective (chess) method, lingering fat signals in the popliteal region are sometimes seen. | 2010 | 20144143 |
| feasibility of one-shot-per-crystal structure determination using laue diffraction. | crystal size is an important factor in determining the number of diffraction patterns which may be obtained from a protein crystal before severe radiation damage sets in. as crystal dimensions decrease this number is reduced, eventually falling to one, at which point a complete data set must be assembled using data from multiple crystals. when only a single exposure is to be collected from each crystal, the polychromatic laue technique may be preferable to monochromatic methods owing to its simu ... | 2010 | 20057043 |
| a case of seizures induced by abstract reasoning. | we describe a case of reflex seizures induced by abstract reasoning but not other cognitive processes. the patient, a 46-year-old man, experienced myoclonic seizures whenever he played shogi (japanese chess). to identify the critical thought processes responsible for inducing his seizures, we monitored his clinical seizures and epileptiform discharges while he performed comprehensive neuropsychological tests, including the wechsler adult intelligence scale-revised (wais-r), spatial working memor ... | 2010 | 20171146 |
| cooperation stimulation strategies for peer-to-peer wireless live video-sharing social networks. | human behavior analysis in video sharing social networks is an emerging research area, which analyzes the behavior of users who share multimedia content and investigates the impact of human dynamics on video sharing systems. users watching live streaming in the same wireless network share the same limited bandwidth of backbone connection to the internet, thus, they might want to cooperate with each other to obtain better video quality. these users form a wireless live-streaming social network. e ... | 2010 | 20227979 |
| a multimodal interface device for online board games designed for sight-impaired people. | online games between remote opponents playing over computer networks are becoming a common activity of everyday life. however, computer interfaces for board games are usually based on the visual channel. for example, they require players to check their moves on a video display and interact by using pointing devices such as a mouse. hence, they are not suitable for visually impaired people. the present paper discusses a multipurpose system that allows especially blind and deafblind people playing ... | 2010 | 19858031 |
| colloquium paper: adaptive specializations, social exchange, and the evolution of human intelligence. | blank-slate theories of human intelligence propose that reasoning is carried out by general-purpose operations applied uniformly across contents. an evolutionary approach implies a radically different model of human intelligence. the task demands of different adaptive problems select for functionally specialized problem-solving strategies, unleashing massive increases in problem-solving power for ancestrally recurrent adaptive problems. because exchange can evolve only if cooperators can detect ... | 2010 | 20445099 |
| interactivity and presence of three ehealth interventions. | a number of researchers have identified interactivity and presence as potentially important attributes of e-health applications, because they are believed to influence users to interact with systems in ways that increase commitment, learning, and other desirable responses. this paper reports on the development of brief scales to assess the two concepts, and on use of them with participants in six conditions of a large-scale trial of interventions for breast cancer patients. overall, the internet ... | 2010 | 20617154 |

| on classical and quantum error-correction in ciliate mate selection. | ciliated protozoa sensing pheromones secreted from nonself mating types engage in preconjugal "courtship" dances and contacts. using simulated "social" trials, i recently showed the heterotrich ciliate, spirostomum ambiguum, can learn to advertise degrees of mating fitness to "suitors" and "rivals" when serially contracting or (ciliary) reversing at variable rates. conspicuous consumers signal higher quality reproductive status by playing "harder-to-get" via metabolically wasteful avoidance disp ... | 2010 | 20798831 |
| a mixture of "cheats" and "co-operators" can enable maximal group benefit. | is a group best off if everyone co-operates? theory often considers this to be so (e.g. the "conspiracy of doves"), this understanding underpinning social and economic policy. we observe, however, that after competition between "cheat" and "co-operator" strains of yeast, population fitness is maximized under co-existence. to address whether this might just be a peculiarity of our experimental system or a result with broader applicability, we assemble, benchmark, dissect, and test a systems model ... | 2010 | 20856906 |
| "the king is dead": checkmating ion channels with tethered toxins. | the quickest possible checkmate in the game of chess requires two moves using a pawn and the queen. metaphorically speaking, the pawn (a membrane tether) and the queen (a toxin) work together to checkmate an ion channel within a neuronal circuit. this strategy termed "tethered toxin" (t-toxin) is based on the use of genetically encoded peptide toxins that are anchored to the cell-membrane via a glycolipid or transmembrane tether. because of their mode of action at the cell surface, t-toxins act ... | 2010 | 20932988 |

| it takes two-skilled recognition of objects engages lateral areas in both hemispheres. | our object recognition abilities, a direct product of our experience with objects, are fine-tuned to perfection. left temporal and lateral areas along the dorsal, action related stream, as well as left infero-temporal areas along the ventral, object related stream are engaged in object recognition. here we show that expertise modulates the activity of dorsal areas in the recognition of man-made objects with clearly specified functions. expert chess players were faster than chess novices in ident ... | 2011 | 21283683 |
| community health environment scan survey (chess): a novel tool that captures the impact of the built environment on lifestyle factors. | novel efforts and accompanying tools are needed to tackle the global burden of chronic disease. this paper presents an approach to describe the environments in which people live, work, and play. community health environment scan survey (chess) is an empirical assessment tool that measures the availability and accessibility, of healthy lifestyle options lifestyle options. chess reveals existing community assets as well as opportunities for change, shaping community intervention planning efforts b ... | 2011 | 21394246 |
| incipient cognition solves the spatial reciprocity conundrum of cooperation. | from the simplest living organisms to human societies, cooperation among individuals emerges as a paradox difficult to explain and describe mathematically, although very often observed in reality. evolutionary game theory offers an excellent toolbar to investigate this issue. spatial structure has been one of the first mechanisms promoting cooperation; however, alone it only opens a narrow window of viability. | 2011 | 21423580 |
| chemical entity semantic specification: knowledge representation for efficient semantic cheminformatics and facile data integration. | abstract: background: over the past several centuries, chemistry has permeated virtually every facet of human lifestyle, enriching fields as diverse as medicine, agriculture, manufacturing, warfare, and electronics, among numerous others. unfortunately, application-specific, incompatible chemical information formats and representation strategies have emerged as a result of such diverse adoption of chemistry. although a number of efforts have been dedicated to unifying the computational represent ... | 2011 | 21595881 |
| the neural organization of perception in chess experts. | the human visual system responds to expertise, and it has been suggested that regions that process faces also process other objects of expertise including chess boards by experts. we tested whether chess and face processing overlap in brain activity using fmri. chess experts and novices exhibited face selective areas, but these regions showed no selectivity to chess configurations relative to other stimuli. we next compared neural responses to chess and to scrambled chess displays to isolate are ... | 2011 | 21635936 |
| many faces of expertise: fusiform face area in chess experts and novices. | the fusiform face area (ffa) is involved in face perception to such an extent that some claim it is a brain module for faces exclusively. the other possibility is that ffa is modulated by experience in individuation in any visual domain, not only faces. here we test this latter ffa expertise hypothesis using the game of chess as a domain of investigation. we exploited the characteristic of chess, which features multiple objects forming meaningful spatial relations. in three experiments, we show ... | 2011 | 21752997 |
| exponential growth combined with exponential decline explains lifetime performance evolution in individual and human species. | the physiological parameters characterizing human capacities (the ability to move, reproduce or perform tasks) evolve with ageing: performance is limited at birth, increases to a maximum and then decreases back to zero at the day of death. physical and intellectual skills follow such a pattern. here, we investigate the development of sport and chess performances during the lifetime at two different scales: the individual athletes' careers and the world record by age class in 25 olympic sports ev ... | 2011 | 21695422 |
| Optimal dimensionality reduction of complex dynamics: the chess game as diffusion on a free-energy landscape. | Dimensionality reduction is ubiquitous in the analysis of complex dynamics. The conventional dimensionality reduction techniques, however, focus on reproducing the underlying configuration space, rather than the dynamics itself. The constructed low-dimensional space does not provide a complete and accurate description of the dynamics. Here I describe how to perform dimensionality reduction while preserving the essential properties of the dynamics. The approach is illustrated by analyzing the che ... | 2011 | 21867141 |
| [doppler and valvular prostheses]. | the principle of examination of prosthetic valves is not different from that of the original valves in terms of bioprosthesis. on the contrary, mechanical prosthesis are markedly opaque to ultrasounds and cause masking and non-flow phenomena behind the prosthesis, which are capable to completely hide abnormal retrograde flows, in traditional views (apical 4 cavities to demonstrate a mitral leakage). therefore, with mechanical prostheses, it is necessary to "cheat" and use atypical views which av ... | 2011 | 3223725 |
| non-contrast-enhanced hepatic mr angiography: do two-dimensional parallel imaging and short tau inversion recovery methods shorten acquisition time without image quality deterioration? | to study whether shortening the acquisition time for selective hepatic artery visualization is feasible without image quality deterioration by adopting two-dimensional (2d) parallel imaging (pi) and short tau inversion recovery (stir) methods. | 2011 | 19556088 |
| two rfid-based solutions to enhance inpatient medication safety. | owing to the low cost and convenience of identifying an object without physical contact, radio frequency identification (rfid) systems provide innovative, promising and efficient applications in many domains. an rfid grouping protocol is a protocol that allows an off-line verifier to collect and verify the evidence of two or more tags simultaneously present. recently, huang and ku (j. med. syst, 2009) proposed an efficient grouping protocol to enhance medication safety for inpatients based on lo ... | 2011 | 20703553 |

| magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the cervical cord in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. | the objective of this study was to use magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) to compare metabolite ratios in the cervical spinal cord of als patients to healthy controls. fourteen als patients and 16 controls were scanned using a 3t scanner. a rectangular voxel (8 × 5 × 35 mm) was placed along the main axis of the cord with the lower limit at the inferior aspect of the c2 vertebral body. mrs was performed with a point-resolved spectroscopy (press) sequence. water signals were suppressed using a ... | 2011 | 21143004 |
| expertise in complex decision making: the role of search in chess 70 years after de groot. | one of the most influential studies in all expertise research is de groot's (1946) study of chess players, which suggested that pattern recognition, rather than search, was the key determinant of expertise. many changes have occurred in the chess world since de groot's study, leading some authors to argue that the cognitive mechanisms underlying expertise have also changed. we decided to replicate de groot's study to empirically test these claims and to examine whether the trends in the data hav ... | 2011 | 21981829 |
| the body image, weight satisfaction, and eating disorder tendency of school children: the 2-year follow-up study. | this 2-year follow-up study was conducted to enhance our understanding of changes and rates of disturbed eating attitudes/behaviors, weight satisfaction, and prevalence of obesity in elementary school students between the ages of 10 and 12 years. | 2011 | 21730220 |
| optimizing ehealth breast cancer interventions: which types of ehealth services are effective? | little is known about the effective elements of interactive cancer communication systems (iccss). a randomized trial explored which types of services of a multifaceted iccs benefited patients and the nature of the benefit. women with breast cancer (n=450) were randomized to different types of iccs services or to a control condition that provided internet access. the comprehensive health enhancement support system (chess), served as the iccs. iccs services providing information and support, but n ... | 2011 | 21709810 |
| sociosexual orientation, commitment, and infidelity: a mediation analysis. | individuals with an unrestricted sociosexual orientation (so) are less committed to their romantic relationships and more likely to engage in infidelity. furthermore, commitment is negatively associated with tendencies to cheat. however, no previous research has examined the possible mediating role of commitment in the relationship between so and infidelity. the current study examined whether commitment mediated the relationship between so and willingness to engage in three types of cheating beh ... | 2011 | 21675178 |
| testing the accuracy of the retrospective recall method used in expertise research. | expertise typically develops slowly over years, and controlled experiments to study its development may be impractical. researchers often use a correlational, retrospective recall method in which participants recall career data, sometimes over many years before. however, recall accuracy is uncertain. the present study investigated the accuracy of recalled career data for up to 38 years, in over 600 international chess players. participants' estimates of their entry year into international chess, ... | 2011 | 21671138 |
| resolving the iterated prisoner's dilemma: theory and reality. | pairs of unrelated individuals face a prisoner's dilemma if cooperation is the best mutual outcome, but each player does best to defect regardless of his partner's behaviour. although mutual defection is the only evolutionarily stable strategy in one-shot games, cooperative solutions based on reciprocity can emerge in iterated games. among the most prominent theoretical solutions are the so-called bookkeeping strategies, such as tit-for-tat, where individuals copy their partner's behaviour in th ... | 2011 | 21599777 |
| emotional eating scale for children and adolescents: psychometric characteristics in a spanish sample. | the aims of this study were to validate the emotional eating scale version for children (ees-c) in a spanish population and study the differences in emotional eating among children with binge eating (be), overeating (oe), and no episodes of disordered eating (ned). the questionnaire was completed by 199 children aged 9 to 16 years. confirmatory factor analysis revealed five scales: eating in response to anger, anxiety, restlessness, helplessness, and depression. the ees-c showed good internal co ... | 2011 | 21534053 |

| moral credentialing and the rationalization of misconduct. | recent studies lead to the paradoxical conclusion that the act of affirming one's egalitarian or pro-social values and virtues might subsequently facilitate prejudiced or self-serving behavior, an effect previously referred to as "moral credentialing." the present study extends this paradox to the domain of academic misconduct and investigates the hypothesis that such an effect might be limited by the extent to which misbehavior is rationalizable. using a paradigm designed to investigate deliber ... | 2011 | 21503267 |
| temporal and geographic variation in the validity and internal consistency of the nursing home resident assessment minimum data set 2.0. | the minimum data set (mds) for nursing home resident assessment has been required in all u.s. nursing homes since 1990 and has been universally computerized since 1998. initially intended to structure clinical care planning, uses of the mds expanded to include policy applications such as case-mix reimbursement, quality monitoring and research. the purpose of this paper is to summarize a series of analyses examining the internal consistency and predictive validity of the mds data as used in the " ... | 2011 | 21496257 |
| initial growth of lutetium(iii) bis-phthalocyanine on ag(111) surface. | the adsorption of lutetium(iii) bis-phthalocyanine (lupc(2)) on ag(111) was investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (stm/sts). a comprehensive study was carried out toward understanding the driving mechanism responsible for the formation of the first and second monolayers (mls). in both mls, the adsorbed molecules are found to exhibit different in-plane orientations arranged according to a "chess-board" like pattern. highly resolved stm images allowed an exact determina ... | 2011 | 21417330 |
| are we more moral than we think? exploring the role of affect in moral behavior and moral forecasting. | can people accurately predict how they will act in a moral dilemma? our research suggests that in some situations, they cannot, and that emotions play a pivotal role in this dissociation between behavior and forecasting. in the current experiment, individuals in a moral action condition cheated significantly less on a math task than participants in a forecasting condition predicted they themselves would cheat. furthermore, we found that participants in the action condition displayed significantl ... | 2011 | 21415242 |
| temporal view of the costs and benefits of self-deception. | researchers have documented many cases in which individuals rationalize their regrettable actions. four experiments examine situations in which people go beyond merely explaining away their misconduct to actively deceiving themselves. we find that those who exploit opportunities to cheat on tests are likely to engage in self-deception, inferring that their elevated performance is a sign of intelligence. this short-term psychological benefit of self-deception, however, can come with longer-term c ... | 2011 | 21383150 |

| dishonest deed, clear conscience: when cheating leads to moral disengagement and motivated forgetting. | people routinely engage in dishonest acts without feeling guilty about their behavior. when and why does this occur? across four studies, people justified their dishonest deeds through moral disengagement and exhibited motivated forgetting of information that might otherwise limit their dishonesty. using hypothetical scenarios (studies 1 and 2) and real tasks involving the opportunity to cheat (studies 3 and 4), the authors find that one's own dishonest behavior increased moral disengagement and ... | 2011 | 21307176 |
| development and evaluation of low cost game-based balance rehabilitation tool using the microsoft kinect sensor. | the use of the commercial video games as rehabilitation tools, such as the nintendo wiifit, has recently gained much interest in the physical therapy arena. motion tracking controllers such as the nintendo wiimote are not sensitive enough to accurately measure performance in all components of balance. additionally, users can figure out how to "cheat" inaccurate trackers by performing minimal movement (e.g. wrist twisting a wiimote instead of a full arm swing). physical rehabilitation requires ac ... | 2011 | 22254685 |
| experimental loss-tolerant quantum coin flipping. | coin flipping is a cryptographic primitive in which two distrustful parties wish to generate a random bit to choose between two alternatives. this task is impossible to realize when it relies solely on the asynchronous exchange of classical bits: one dishonest player has complete control over the final outcome. it is only when coin flipping is supplemented with quantum communication that this problem can be alleviated, although partial bias remains. unfortunately, practical systems are subject t ... | 2011 | 22127057 |
| internet addiction and antisocial internet behavior of adolescents. | internet addiction and the moral implication of antisocial internet behavior will be investigated in this paper. more and more people use the internet in their daily life. unfortunately the percentage of people who use the internet excessively also increases. the concept of internet addiction or pathological use of internet is discussed in detail, and the characteristics of internet addicts are also delineated. the social (especially the antisocial) use of internet is discussed. it is argued tha ... | 2011 | 22125466 |

| revising superior planning performance in chess players: the impact of time restriction and motivation aspects. | in a previous study (unterrainer, kaller, halsband, & rahm, 2006), chess players outperformed non-chess players in the tower of london planning task but exhibited disproportionately longer processing times. this pattern of results raises the question of whether chess players' planning capabilities are superior or whether the results reflect differences in the speed-accuracy trade-off between the groups, possibly attributable to sports motivation. the present study was designed to disambiguate th ... | 2011 | 21834406 |
| deep-water chemosynthetic ecosystem research during the census of marine life decade and beyond: a proposed deep-ocean road map. | the chess project of the census of marine life (2002-2010) helped foster internationally-coordinated studies worldwide focusing on exploration for, and characterization of new deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystem sites. this work has advanced our understanding of the nature and factors controlling the biogeography and biodiversity of these ecosystems in four geographic locations: the atlantic equatorial belt (aeb), the new zealand region, the arctic and antarctic and the se pacific off chile. in th ... | 2011 | 21829722 |

| the use of genes for performance enhancement: doping or therapy? | recent biotechnological advances have permitted the manipulation of genetic sequences to treat several diseases in a process called gene therapy. however, the advance of gene therapy has opened the door to the possibility of using genetic manipulation (gm) to enhance athletic performance. in such 'gene doping', exogenous genetic sequences are inserted into a specific tissue, altering cellular gene activity or leading to the expression of a protein product. the exogenous genes most likely to be u ... | 2011 | 22030863 |
| combination of two fat saturation pulses improves detectability of glucose signals in carbon-13 mr spectroscopy. | in order to improve the fat suppression performance of in vivo (13)c-mrs operating at 3.0 tesla, a phantom model study was conducted using a combination of two fat suppression techniques; a set of pulses for frequency (chemical shift) selective suppression (chess), and spatial saturation (sat). by optimizing the slab thickness for sat and the irradiation bandwidth for chess, the signals of the -(13)ch(3) peak at 49 ppm and the -(13)ch(2)- peak at 26 ppm simulating fat components were suppressed ... | 2011 | 21785260 |

| bad to the bone: facial structure predicts unethical behaviour. | researchers spanning many scientific domains, including primatology, evolutionary biology and psychology, have sought to establish an evolutionary basis for morality. while researchers have identified social and cognitive adaptations that support ethical behaviour, a consensus has emerged that genetically determined physical traits are not reliable signals of unethical intentions or actions. challenging this view, we show that genetically determined physical traits can serve as reliable predicto ... | 2012 | 21733897 |
| do not fear your opponent: suboptimal changes of a prevention strategy when facing stronger opponents. | the time spent making a decision and its quality define a widely studied trade-off. some models suggest that the time spent is set to optimize reward, as verified empirically in simple-decision making experiments. however, in a more complex perspective compromising components of regulation focus, ambitions, fear, risk and social variables, adjustment of the speed-accuracy trade-off may not be optimal. specifically, regulatory focus theory shows that people can be set in a promotion mode, where f ... | 2012 | 22004170 |
| creating a bond between caregivers online: effect on caregivers' coping strategies. | numerous studies have investigated the effect of interactive cancer communication systems (iccss) on system users' improvements in psychosocial status. research in this area, however, has focused mostly on cancer patients, rather than on caregivers, and on the direct effects of iccss on improved outcomes, rather than on the psychological mechanisms of iccs effects. to understand the underlying mechanisms, this study examines the mediating role of perceived caregiver bonding in the relation betwe ... | 2012 | 22004055 |
| treatment with the glucocorticoid antagonist ru486 reduces cooperative cleaning visits of a common reef fish, the lined bristletooth. | cooperation often involves a conflict of interest. this is particularly true in situations where one individual seeks out a service but cannot properly control the quality of the service given by the partner who would gain from defecting. an example is cleaning mutualism involving the bluestreak cleaner wrasse (labroides dimidiatus) and its reef-fish 'clients'. these cleaners may reduce the stress experienced by their clients by removing parasites; however they occasionally cheat clients (i.e. d ... | 2012 | 22001873 |
| expertise modulates the neural basis of context dependent recognition of objects and their relations. | recognition of objects and their relations is necessary for orienting in real life. we examined cognitive processes related to recognition of objects, their relations, and the patterns they form by using the game of chess. chess enables us to compare experts with novices and thus gain insight in the nature of development of recognition skills. eye movement recordings showed that experts were generally faster than novices on a task that required enumeration of relations between chess objects beca ... | 2012 | 21998070 |
| reproduction numbers in malaria and their implications. | the malariologist lewis wendell hackett famously observed that, "like chess, (malaria) is played with a few pieces, but is capable of an infinite variety of situations". this paper discusses one such piece, the red queen. red queen phenomena arise when an intensification of effort leads to a need for further intensification to maintain the new status quo. such phenomena represent dangers for current strategies to combat the disease. understanding reproduction numbers is key to understanding thes ... | 2012 | 21996375 |
