Human Preferences For Facial Symmetry In Dogs (Canis Familiaris)
(Psychology, 2009-09-16)
Previous studies on facial symmetry have documented a positive correlation between symmetry and perceived attractiveness in both human and non-human subjects. Evolutionary psychologists believe this may be evidence of a ...
Moment Calculations For Low Energy Ions In Jupiter's Magnetotail From Nasa's New Horizons Mission
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
Jupiter's magnetosphere and magnetotail is the largest cohesive structure in our solar system which extends to the orbit of Saturn. One of NASA's objectives is to understand how universal bodies interact with its surroundings. ...
Opinions In Context: Reconsidering Endoxa In Aristotle's On Rhetoric
(English, 2009-09-16)
In On Rhetoric, Aristotle describes rhetoric as an ability of seeing the available means of persuasion. Rather than suggesting that rhetoric is persuasive discourse, Aristotle presents it as a skill one utilizes to assess ...
