Mtbe: a Precautionary Tale
In the 1980s and 1990s, methyl tertiary-butyl ether (“MTBE”) became the petroleum industry’s gasoline additive of choice to replace tetra-ethyl lead. MTBE fuel blends were viewed as an environmental boon; MTBE signiacantly reduces emissions of smog-producing air pollutants and can be produced relatively cheaply. Yet by the end of the 1990s, MTBE had leaked from tens of thousands of underground ...
متن کاملA Precautionary Tale of Uncertain Tail Fattening
Suppose that there is a probability density function for how bad things might get, but that the overall rate at which this probability density function slims down to approach zero in the tail is uncertain. The paper shows how a basic precautionary principle of tail fattening could then apply. The worse is the contemplated damage, the more should a decision maker consider the bad tail to be amon...

متن کاملWhat Makes Planners Predictable?
In recent work we showed that models constructed from planner performance data over a large suite of benchmark problems are surprisingly accurate; 91-99% accuracy for success and 3-496 seconds RMSE for runtime. In this paper, we examine the underlying causes of these accurate models. We deconstruct the learned models to assess how the features, the planners, the search space topology and the am...
متن کاملA Precautionary Tale: Mental Health and Risk Communication
Background: The chicken genome contains a BBP-A gene showing similar characteristics to avidin family genes. In a previous study we reported that the BBP-A gene may encode a biotin-binding protein due to the high sequence similarity with chicken avidin, especially at regions encoding residues known to be located at the ligand-binding site of avidin. Results: Here, we expand the repertoire of kn...
