Why we should all care about social institutions related to gender inequality
Institutions are a major factor explaining development outcomes. This study focuses on social institutions related to gender inequality understood as long-lasting norms, values and codes of conduct that shape gender roles, and presents evidence on why they matter for development. We derive hypothese...
The hidden quantum group of the eight-vertex free fermion model: q-Clifford algebras
5 pages, no figures.-- MSC2000 codes: Primary: 82B23; Secondary: 17B37, 81R50.-- ArXiv pre-print available at: http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9302089 | MR#: MR1235537 (94g:82014) | We prove in this paper that the elliptic R-matrix of the eight vertex free fermion model is the intertwiner R-matrix of a ...
"The implementation of a Refusal Avoidance Training (RAT) within wave 2 of the German part of the European Social Survey (ESS) successful reduced the amount of reported refusal by nearly 7%. The effect of the reduction was compensated by a nearly equal increase in the proportion of non-contacted des...
Regulierung durch Corporate Governance Kodizes
Der Deutsche Corporate Governance Kodex (DCGK) entfaltet trotz seiner rechtlichen Unverbindlichkeit als sog. „Weiches Recht“ oder „Soft Law“ erhebliche tatsächliche Wirkungen. Für Vorstände und Aufsichtsräte bestehen starke Anreize zur Befolgung, vor allem, um damit einen positiven Signalling-Effekt...

Die Arbeit untersucht die Einflussfaktoren, die am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts und bis heute dazu geführt haben, dass das flache Dach die Architektur so nachhaltig prägt, wie das gegenwärtig der Fall ist. Neben den architektonischen Aspekten, die das Erscheinungsbild eines Gebäudes wesentlich beeinf...
Active summation of excitatory postsynaptic potentials in hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons
The manner in which the thousands of synaptic inputs received by a pyramidal neuron are summed is critical both to our understanding of the computations that may be performed by single neurons and of the codes used by neurons to transmit information. Recent work on pyramidal cell dendrites has shown...
