Love is blind, according to Shakespeare. Everybody would agree with that. But

testing this important issue explicitly. In this book the author reasons that romantic
attraction is an important motivational force that drives people to
develop biased perceptions of the partner and the self. In other words, it is more
likely that love makes us blind rather than blindness leads to love. In particular, it
is hypothesized that romantic...

It is very important to understand the mechanical properties of polymers at the nanoscale with the continuing demand of decreasing the size of circuit in the electronic industry. There has been considerable research on the confinement effect in thin films with a variety of techniques, often with conflicting results. We developed the stress-strain analysis and energy balance approach to separate the surface tension contribution to the observed rubbery stiffening. Further, the geometry effect in the nanobubble inflation technique was investigated by comparing the creep behavior of circular...

The wedding ring effect-or mate-choice copying in humans-is the notion that individuals, particularly women, have a greater preference for those who are currently involved in romantic relationships as their partners over uninvolved individuals. This book provides a thorough, critical review of previous research on the wedding ring effect and presents a study that examined two manipulated independent variables of romantic targets (i.e., relationship availability and openness to commitment), as well as one independent individual difference variable of participants (i.e., ...
