Although 10 studies have been published on the empirical overlap of the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and measures of self-reported attachment style, results in this literature have been inconsistently interpreted in narrative reviews. This report was designed as a rapprochement of the AAI and attachment style literatures and includes 3 studies. Study 1 (combined N = 961) is a meta-analytic ...

The purpose of this study was to apply the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to assist decision-making when planning animal health programmes, by assigning priorities to issues of concern to producers in Chile's main goat production region. This process allows a multi-criteria approach to problems, by analysing and ranking them in a hierarchical structure. Industry experts have highlighted the f...

This paper shows how reported recreation values can be systematically underestimated when they are derived from price coefficients. Simulations show that these publication selection biases can be very large. Because selected price coefficients are transformed into estimates of value, conventional meta-analytic methods used to deal with publication selection will often make the bias worse. Simul...

We examine the measurable ergodic theory of analytic maps F of complex projective space. We focus on two different classes of maps, Ueda maps of Pn, and rational maps of the sphere with parabolic orbifold and Julia set equal to the entire sphere. We construct measures which are invariant, ergodic, weakor strong-mixing, exact, or automorphically Bernoulli with respect to these maps. We discuss t...

globalization, increasing the global regulations of governmental and non-governmental organizations and customers’ request regarding to environmental compliance issues have led to organizations considering the green supply chain management to improve the environmental and economical performance. in order to maximize the efficiency of energy consumption and resources across the supply chain, gre...

Stieltjes-type polynomials corresponding to measures supported on the unit circle T are introduced and their asymptotic properties away from T are studied for general classes of measures. As an application, we prove the convergence of an associated sequence of interpolating rational functions to the corresponding Carathéodory function. In turn, this is used to give an estimate of the rate of co...

The dual attainment of the Monge–Kantorovich transport problem is analyzed in a general setting. The spaces X,Y are assumed to be polish and equipped with Borel probability measures μ and ν. The transport cost function c : X × Y → [0,∞] is assumed to be Borel measurable. We show that a dual optimizer always exists, provided we interpret it as a projective limit of certain finitely additive meas...

In this series of three 90 minute lectures I will give a gentle introduction to the topic of Aleksandrov-Clark measures which turn out to have an uncanny way of appearing in various areas of analysis. In short, for an analytic map φ : D→ D, where D is the open unit disk, there is a family {μα : |α| = 1} of positive finite measures on the unit circle T associated with φ by the formula 1− |φ(z)|2...
