- Reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST) has enormous potential to become a paradigmatic model of individual differences. However, while its foundations in experimental genetic and neurophysiological research on nonhuman animals are among the strongest in personality psychology, it has perhaps not gained the foothold within the field that it deserves. It is...

- A study of the optical properties and superconductivity in semiconductors is presented using the highly precise all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) density functional calculations. Optical properties [$\varepsilon(\omega)$,$n(\omega)$,$k(\omega)$,$R(\omega)$ and $\alpha(\omega)$] of some III-V semiconductors [InAs, InSb, GaSb, and AlSb] and their critical point (CP) energies, are calculated from the...
