PERSONAL VALUE PREFERENCES, THREAT-BENEFIT APPRAISAL OF IMMIGRANTS AND LEVELS OF SOCIAL CONTACT: LOOKING THROUGH THE LENS OF THE STEREOTYPE CONTENT MODEL

The study examines a model proposing relationships between personal values, positive (i.e., benefits) and negative (i.e., threats) appraisal of immigrants, and social contact.Based on a values-attitudes-behavior paradigm, the study extends previous work on personal values and attitudes to immigrants by examining not only negative but also positive

We introduce ACTIVE an open-source, scalable, and distributed architecture, called Megalos, that supports the implementation of virtual network scenarios consisting of virtual devices (VDs) where each VD may have several Layer 2 interfaces assigned to virtual LANs.We rely on Docker containers to realize vendor-independent VDs and we leverage Kubern

The lungs of birds have long been known to move air in only one direction during both inspiration and expiration through most of the tubular gas-exchanging bronchi (parabronchi).Recently a similar pattern of airflow has been observed in American alligators, a sister taxon to birds.The pattern of flow appears to be due to the arrangement of the prim

Apocynum venetum L.is an endangered perennial species mainly distributed in the semi-arid lands and plays an Raspberry Ketones important role in protecting ecological environment; meanwhile, it is also widely used as a traditional Chinese medicine.While physiological changes of seed germination under drought stress have been conducted, the adaptive

Stability problems of the stationary trajectories of the tool elastic deformational displacement under the longitudinal endmilling are Garden considered.In the moving coordinates which displacement is determined by the actuators motion, the stationary steady state is not an equilibrium point (as when turning), but some closed trajectory.The synerge
