Dependent Interviewing and Sub-Optimal Responding
With proactive dependent interviewing (PDI) respondents are reminded of the answer they gave in the previous interview, before being asked about their current status. PDI is used in panel surveys to assist respondent recall and reduce spurious changes in

Golden Eggs and Hyperbolic Discounting
Hyperbolic discount functions induce dynamically inconsistent preferences, implying a motive for consumers to constrain their own future choices. This paper analyzes the decisions of a hyperbolic consumer who has access to an imperfect commitment ...

Optimization of Temperature and Relative Humidity in an Automatic Egg Incubator Using Mamdani Interference System [PDF]
Temperature and humidity are two of the rudimentary factors that must be controlled during egg incubation. Improper temperature and humidity levels during the incubation period often result in unwanted conditions. This paper proposes the design of an efficient Mamdani fuzzy interference system instead of the widely used Takagi-Sugeno system in this ...

Why do we need to pour less water in an egg steamer to prepare more eggs to the same degree of doneness? We discuss the physical processes at work in the electric egg steamer and resolve this seeming paradox. We demonstrate that the main heat transfer mechanism from steam to egg is due to latent heat through condensation.

Sex Detection in the Early Stage of Fertilized Chicken Eggs via Image Recognition [PDF]
Culling newly hatched male chicks in industrial hatcheries poses a serious ethical problem. Both laying and broiler breeders need males, but it is a problem because they are produced more than needed. Being able to determine the sex of chicks in the egg at the beginning or early stage of incubation can eliminate ethical problems as well as many ...
