![]() ![]() ![]() He has authored or edited four other books: Quasi-Rational Economics, The Winner's Curse: Paradoxes and Anomalies of Economic Life, and Advances in Behavioral Finance (editor) Volumes I and II. In 2015 he published Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics. Sunstein) of the global best seller Nudge (2008) in which the concepts of behavioral economics are used to tackle many of society’s major problems. He investigates the implications of relaxing the standard economic assumption that everyone in the economy is rational and selfish, instead entertaining the possibility that some of the agents in the economy are sometimes human. Thaler studies behavioral economics and finance as well as the psychology of decision-making which lies in the gap between economics and psychology. Thaler is the 2017 recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to behavioral economics. Nudge for the greatest benefit of mankind. So please raise your glasses and join with me in a toast, in the proper Swedish manner of course – no clinking. Tonight we will modify that phrase to honour Alfred Nobel. That phrase which is meant as a plea is “Nudge for good”. So I would like to end this with the toast I promised using a phrase I write when I’m asked to sign books. People are being helped to save more for retirement, more poor kids – especially girls – are going to school, peasant farmers are retrieving more reliable harvests, and we are all being successfully nudged to use less energy. Around the world, governments and NGOs are working with behavioural scientists to design and test scientifically informed policies that are working. Each of these problems is, at its heart, behavioural.īut in these times when all news seems to be bad – or fake – I can report on progress. Consider the most important issues facing the world now such as climate change, health care, an ageing population, income inequality, xenophobia, and mounting threats to world peace. We need these helpful nudges now more than ever. As Cass Sunstein and I have argued, we can often do so with simple nudges that point people in the right direction, but don’t force anyone to do anything. Incorporating human behaviour into economic models improves the accuracy of economics, just as those fancy microscopes improve the resolution of images in biochemistry.Ĭrucially, once we acknowledge that humans are fallible creatures, we can ask how to help them make better decisions. ![]() But to make accurate predictions we need to enrich those theories by adding insights from other social sciences. To be sure, we still need traditional economic theories. We humans are absent minded, tend to be a little overweight, we procrastinate and are notoriously over confident. Over the past 40 years, along with many colleagues, some of whom are here, I have been trying to figure out how to introduce humans into economic theory. So – not a lot of laughter over there – we have a disconnect between the people economists know and the Econs that appear in their theories. Indeed economists love telling stories that ridicule the flawed decision making made by others, such as their spouses, offspring, Deans, students, political leaders, and – please keep this part to yourself – one even hears stories criticising the decision making made by the esteemed members of the Economics Nobel Prize committee. Furthermore economists engage with humans on a rather regular basis, and often find their behaviour to be deeply flawed. Customers and employees are human, even most CEOs are quite human. Now the presence of humans in our economy might seem rather obvious. These Econs solve problems like a super computer, have the willpower of saints, are free of emotion, and have little regard for their fellow Econs. ![]() Instead of humans, the world described by economists in text books is populated by a species referred to as homo economicus but I like to just call them Econs. So what did I do to get up here? I discovered the presence of human life in a place not far, far away, where my fellow economists thought it did not exist: the economy. And what about the beautiful speech Kazuo Ishiguro just gave? Breaking a one year tradition, he managed to win the Literature Prize without a single hit song. Their discoveries of colliding black holes, genes that know the time of day, and images of biomolecules using cryo-electron microscopy are rather daunting. My feelings of humility are accentuated by the invidious comparisons with my fellow Laureates. I’m truly, truly humbled to be standing here today. I had to run back because I decided we had a deficiency of toasts. Your Majesties, your Royal Highnesses, Excellencies, dear laureates, ladies and gentlemen.

![]() ![]() It is a biennial because the next year the seeds germinate and produce small plants. There is also a less commonly encountered white-flowered variety. The ½-inch flowers are pleasantly fragrant and make for excellent cut flowers. However, the colorful effect of the magenta flowers from a grouping of plants is quite magnificent. It is usually grown for the coin-like, silvery, translucent seed pods that are used in dried flower arrangements. Money plant ( Lunaria annua), also known as “Honesty”, is an herbaceous biennial in the mustard family (Brassicaceae). Photo by Joey Williamson, ©2013 HGIC, Clemson Extension This is so that the money energy can flow freely.Īs you probably have guessed I simply love Jade plants and have several in my home in different areas, close to the entrance, in the South-East corner and close to my desk as that is where I have my computer and deal with bank statements.Īn extra plus is that that the Jade plants are so decorative and pretty and can get quite large as the years go by.The money plant ( Lunaria annua) flower stalk with blooms is botanically called a raceme because the flowers are arranged in a spiral going up and around the main stalk. Actually, I would never dream of having cactus plants in my home.Īlso keep the area around your Jade plant tidy. The sharp needles do kill the positive energy. Never keep any cactus plants with sharp needles in the same area as your Jade plant. Placing it in the bathroom is simply an insult to this magnificent plant. Keep your Jade plant out of the bathroom. The South-East area of your home is the money sone and absolutely perfect for the Jade plant! If your entrance is not ideal, see if you can place it in the South-East area of your home. Not too much water and some hours of light during the day. The important thing is to keep your Jade plant happy. My Jade plants certainly help me stay positive when it comes to all money issues! Your Jade plant is a positive energy plant for money, it should give you uplifting vibes and encouragement when it comes to money issues. If you live in a warmer climate you can place it outside your entrance door. Also, this plant likes a few hours of dark during the night. If you have light coming in from a window it is fine. If your hallway is very dark than this might not be a good place for your Jade plant. Thing to considerer is that this plant needs at least four hours of light every day. Remember your plant is inviting the positive money energy flow into your home or place of work. It really doesn’t matter what side of the door you place it at, but it needs to be visible as you enter your home. If possible, place it by an entrance to the house. Several times I have been close to broke and somehow a good solution comes right on time – go figure! Reply Just looking at them makes me feel more positive and happier. I have a several Jade plants, both inside and on my tiny balcony and I love them! They are beautiful and they really do work wonders. If not keep it inside and in the lightest area of your home, but not in the bathroom. ![]() If you live in a warm climate and have a terrace or balcony, you can place it there. Even though it cost me next to nothing, it has been a huge success! I have done this several times and given Jade plants as a gift to close friends. ![]() By feeling more positive you are much more likely to attain success.Īlso, Jade plants are so easy to propagate. The important thing is to love your Jade plant, and you will feel more positive. If that is not possible, you can place it in the best suited spot in your apartment. If possible, place it in the South-East area of your apartment, as that is the area representing wealth. You will have to keep it in a bright spot and it will thrive. It will bring you lots of positive vibes and be a constant reminder of your prosperity, money coming to you. You can keep your Jade plant inside your apartment. Lots of people are in your situation, including me. ![]() ![]() Listen across all your devices – mobile, tablet, desktop at radioplayer.ca and through any station’s web player.Ĭheck out Radioplayer Canada or download the FREE Radio Player App, available for iOS and Android.

Note: Beyond 100% Fertility, high Fertility Sensitivity becomes a bonus rather than a penalty. In contrast, a plant with a of 1 will not grow so well if it is planted on anything less fertile than standard soil. A plant with a of 0 will not care if it is planted on fertile soil or sand it will grow at the same rate on any possible terrain tile. Ingame, this is also denoted as "Fertility sensitivity". Most plants have a, which is used to determine how "picky" a plant is about terrain fertility. Different terrains or growing apparatuses have different fertilities. However, fertility does not affect the harvested yield from a plant, just the time to mature to that yield. Plant growth speed is also positively correlated to soil Fertility. Most plants have a Fertility requirement of at least 50% (except trees at a measly 30% Fertility). ![]() Growth rate factors Fertility įertility is a measure of a location's efficacy for growing plants. Plants are essential to producing food, textiles, feed for animals, dye, wood, chemfuel, drugs, and medicine. With adequate time and environmental conditions, plants will age into a mature lifestage when they can be harvested by colonists assigned to Grow work. Plants may spontaneously grow in available tiles or can be cultivated by colonists in growing zones or hydroponics basins. Plants are generally passable, minifiable, provide no cover, and are not susceptible to Sharp or Blunt damage (except trees, cacti, and bushes.) All plants can be destroyed by Fire, cutting, a Defoliator ship, or being consumed by an animal. Plants are passive, flammable objects available in numerous species of different appearance, growth rate, lifespan, fertility requirements, and biome. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other app updates to Paint and Windows Media Player soon appeared in the 'Beta Channel'.

(Image credit: Microsoft) How to test the WindUpdate before launchīefore Microsoft pushes out any big update to Windows 11, it passes through the various channels in the Windows Insider Program (opens in new tab). There will be several changes underneath that aren’t user-facing, as always, and a number that will be.īut from what Microsoft is working on and showcasing through the Insider Program, it's clear that the company wants to update the apps of Windows 11, not just the front-facing features. Windows 11 updates look to already be about more than visual flair, and 22H2 is set to be no exception. This will be available in the Microsoft Store, but will be scheduled to appear as the default app to play media files once the 2022 Update is available to everyone. It will be replacing the rather basic Groove Music, an app that debuted back in Windows 8 in 2012. While Paint is another app to gain from a refreshed look, Microsoft surprised many at the end of 2021 by bringing back Windows Media Player. Notepad is one of the examples for the 2022 Update, gaining dark mode and a re-arranged menu bar. Other OS improvements are more apps from Microsoft that will be refreshed with the Fluent Design language that's across Windows 11. In the 2022 Update, the taskbar looks to be bringing back some features and listening to some feedback, with drag and drop coming back to the taskbar. ![]() The start menu has seen a redesign in Windows 11, but while the new look has been a positive, some features that were present in Windows 10, cannot be found here. One feature that's been divided by users has been the taskbar. We also recently reminded readers about disabling VBS to speed up Windows 10 or 11 by up to 15%.This first update to Windows 11 looks to be built on feedback from users, alongside more refinements that Microsoft presumably didn't have time to include in the first release in November.

![]() This is desirable as we aim only at detecting the presence of the tone. Note that this signal has double frequency of the original and, will have also some extra harmonic content due to the discontinuity around zero, so this signal is suitable only to evaluate average power, for later processing the original signal minus the DC will be used.Īfter that we apply an AGC (Automatic Gain Conttrol), this doesn't enhance the SNR, since it's done after the D/A, anyhow it allows to keep the signal level constat, so that the output of the following stages is independent of the captured signal level. The signal after rectification looks like this, and the red line represents the average: ![]() If we didn't rectify it the average would be zero. After removing the DC we are left with the signal centered aroud zero:Īt this point we rectify it and calculate an average level.

Any researcher looking for deep biophysical understanding of their favorite protein can benefit from the information provided by DLS. The ability to monitor how buffers, additives, and substrates can help drive better understanding of mechanisms and stability. Self-interaction can be measured with DLS, giving researchers the K d of their protein of interest.ĭLS is a powerful tool for characterizing your protein. The ability to monitor this process in vitro can help researchers to develop assays that allow them to better understand how the changes in protein-self interaction triggers other responses. Oligomerization affects protein activityĬell biologists know the importance of oligomerization in cellular processes. Subtle changes in the r h can be screened to determine binders.Ĥ. But binding often introduces a change in the structure of the protein, which can expand or contract to bind small molecules. No method is 100% reliable in avoiding either false positives or false negatives. Binding events affect a protein’s sizeĭrug developers looking for the next big breakthrough often have huge libraries of compounds to screen. Having a better picture of how this affects your protein’s size and polydispersity allows researchers to make better decisions about what constructs to move forward with in the lab.ģ. Each mutation offers the potential to alter protein behaviour for better or worse. By editing the sequence of a protein or antibody, researchers can create a biological molecule with increased substrate affinity, better long-term storage stability, or additional binding sites. Protein engineering is a key element in optimizing proteins for everything from benchtop assays to therapeutics in the clinic. If a buffer has a negative impact on protein stability, this will be reflected in the broadening of that peak and an increase in PDI. Proteins that are tightly folded and stable give a single, sharp peak at the r h when looking at the size distribution. Anyone who has worked in biologics formulation knows that storage and assay buffers alike must be optimized to ensure a protein remains stable and functional for a long time. Researchers almost exclusively work with proteins in buffer. Why is it useful to have particle sizing information? It can also determine if there are multiple particle sizes present in the sample by determining the polydispersity index (PDI). This information can be correlated to the hydrodynamic radius (r h) of the particle that scattered the light. The DLS instrument then collects how intense or bright that scattered light is at a fixed angle. It works by sending a monochromatic beam of light into your sample the sample bounces, or scatters, that light in different directions. Here’s an overview of DLS and how it’s useful for your protein research.ĭynamic Light Scattering, or DLS, is a technique that gives you detailed information about the size of your biological particles.
