Third-Generation TB-LMTO

Third-generation prospect theory

We present a new theory of decision under uncertainty: third-generation prospect theory (PT). This retains the predictive power of previous versions of prospect theory, but extends that theory by allowing reference points to be uncertain while decision weights are specified in a rank-dependent way. We show that PT preferences respect a state-conditional form of stochastic dominance. The theory ...

Third generation photovoltaics

We review recent progress towards increasing solar cell efficiencies beyond the Shockley-Queisser efficiency limit. Four main approaches are highlighted: multi-junction cells, intermediate-band cells, hot carrier cells and spectrum conversion. Multi-junction cells use multiple solar cells that selectively absorb different regions of the solar spectrum. Intermediateband cells use one junction wi...

5.2 Third Generation Multimedia Applications

11 generating contextual information which can be used to make applications which are adaptive and far more exible. The third generation of multimedia applications will not only exploit improvements in the network technology, but more importantly will take advantage of any contextual or location information made available. As mentioned earlier, this information will come from agents interpretin...
