Persuasion Strategies

43.5K
Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Physiological Pharmacokinetic Models: Incorporating Hepatic Transporter-Mediated Clearance

299
Drug transporters are critical in drug absorption, distribution, and excretion processes. They should be included in physiological-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models, which help predict human drug disposition. However, predicting this is challenging during drug development, especially when liver transport is involved. However, with a realistic representation of body transport processes, an accurate model may be possible.
A recent model describes pravastatin's hepatobiliary excretion,...

DC Generator01:19

DC Generator

2.1K
An alternator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy that varies sinusoidally, resulting in AC current. Meanwhile, a DC generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, which are DC pulses with the same polarity. The construction of a DC generator is similar to that of an alternator, except that the pair of slip rings is replaced by a single split ring, also called a commutator. The commutator functions like a periodic rotary switch; it changes the contacts with the...

Next-generation Sequencing

98.6K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Generation Time01:22

Generation Time

1.5K
Bacterial generation time, the period required for a bacterial population to double during its exponential growth phase, serves as a critical measure of microbial growth dynamics under optimal conditions. This parameter varies significantly across bacterial species and can be influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, and the availability of nutrients. For example, Escherichia coli can achieve a generation time of approximately 20 minutes, while Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a much...

Electric Generator: Alternator01:25

Electric Generator: Alternator

3.4K
Electric generators induce an emf by rotating a coil in a magnetic field. A simple alternator is an AC generator that creates electrical energy that varies sinusoidally with time. A simple alternator consists of a conducting loop that is placed inside a uniform magnetic field. The loop is connected to split rings connected to the external circuit with the help of brushes.
The magnetic flux passing through the coil varies sinusoidally as the loop rotates inside the magnetic field. This...

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral Economics
  • Environmental Psychology
  • Sustainability Science

Background:

  • A fundamental disconnect exists between present-day decision-makers and future generations who inherit the planet.
  • This temporal gap leads to present-oriented behavior, posing significant challenges for long-term sustainability.
  • Current policies often fail to adequately represent the interests of unborn populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and test a novel framework for bridging the intergenerational disconnect in sustainability decision-making.
  • To investigate the impact of an 'imaginary future generation' on present-day individuals' sustainability choices.
  • To enhance the consideration of future environmental consequences in current actions.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a laboratory-controlled intergenerational sustainability dilemma game (ISDG).
  • Participants engaged in the ISDG under two conditions: with and without the presence of negotiators representing an imaginary future generation.
  • Quantitative analysis of participant choices to assess the impact of the imaginary future generation's salience.

Main Results:

  • When participants negotiated with an imaginary future generation, 60% chose options promoting sustainability.
  • In contrast, only 28% of participants selected sustainable options when the imaginary future generation was not salient.
  • The presence of negotiators for a future generation significantly increased the likelihood of sustainable choices.

Conclusions:

  • Introducing an imaginary future generation into decision-making processes can effectively increase sustainable behaviors.
  • This framework offers a practical method to reconcile the disconnect between present actions and future consequences.
  • The study highlights the potential of psychological interventions to foster long-term environmental responsibility.
