Behave The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst / by Sapolsky, Robert M., author 656050, Penguin Random House (Online service) 655978

“…Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: he starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy. …”

A vehicle social distancing management system based on LiFi COVID pandemic: real-time monitoring for smart buildings by Murad, Sallar S., Yussof, Salman, Oraibi, Bha-Aldan Mundher, Badeel, Rozin, Badeel, Banan, Alamoodi, A. H.

“…For this reason, each time a vehicle requests entry into the facility, a real-time test or check must be performed. This study proposes a real-time vehicle social distancing decision system for managing the number of vehicles (RT-VSDD) that adds an additional testing method besides the traditional testing phase (test reports from test centers) with a real-time vital health check at the building access request in order to reduce the risk of unidentified infected individuals. …”

Globalization and environmental quality : insights from 128 countries by Le, Ha Chi

“…Fixed Effects (FE) is employed as the main estimation technique while panel Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) and Driscoll-Kraay (D-K) standard errors estimations are employed as robustness check. The results indicate that while international integration has a detrimental impact on most components of the ecosystem, effect varies across income groups. …”
