Malloy, Thomas E.; Jensen, Gary C. | Emergence of dynamic form through phase relations in dynamic systems | Gregory Bateson construes mental process as the flow and transforms of differences in a system. Stuart Kauffman uses NK Boolean systems to model the emergence of order in biological evolution. Because the Boolean base (0, 1) maps to Bateson's idea of difference, we simulate Bateson's epistemology wi... | Systems; Psychology; Models | 2005-10-24 |

McDaniel, Susan | Emotional support and family contacts of older Canadians | Elderly people can no longer expect to spend their senior years living with their families. This is particularly true for older women, who as widows are more and more likely to be living alone. With more seniors living on their own, emotional support from family may not be as easy to come by as i... | | 1993 |

Drews, Frank; Westenskow, Dwayne R.; Bermudez, Julio Cesar; Syroid, Noah Daniel; Agutter, James A.; Strayer, David Lee | Evaluation of a cardiovascular display in a high fidelity simulator | Human error in anesthesia can be attributed to misleading information from patient monitors or to the physician's failure to recognize a pattern. A graphic representation of monitored data may provide better support for detection, diagnosis, and treatment. We designed a graphic display to show hemod... | Patient monitors; Visual information; Graphic displays | 2003 |

McCullough, John M. | Evidence for assortative mating and selection in surnames: a case from Yucatan, Mexico | Surnames are often used as metaphors for genetic material on the assumption of neutrality and general immunity from systematic pressures. The Yucatec Maya use surnames of both Maya and Spanish origin. We find evidence of positive assortative mating by ethnic origin of surname and a slight bias away ... | Surnames; Assortative mating; Maya | 1985 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Evolution of time preference by natural selection | This paper entertains the hypothesis that human time preferences are in evolutionary equilibrium (i.e. that no mutation changing time preferences could be favored by natural selection). This hypothesis implies that the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) holding Darwinian fitness constant must equal... | Capitalism; Econometric models; Equilibrium | 1994-06 |

Francis, John G. | Evolving regulatory structure of European church-state relationships | In Western Europe, many contemporary churches have achieved remarkable levels of administrative autonomy and tangible resource support. Yet paradoxically, public participation in the traditional churches appears marginal. In Eastern Europe under Communism, churches experienced varying levels of hos... | Regimes; Environment; Regulation | 1992 |

Fogel, Alan Dale | Expressing affection and love to young children | Few people would seriously contest the proposition that children need love. The belief that children thrive on love is not universal, but in our western culture it has become the foundation for the work of educators and parents (Kagan, 1978). Yet, for all of our certainty about the principle, the p... | Expressing affection | 1980 |
