This paper constructs quantified measures of preferences for redistribution using survey data from seven OECD countries in which respondents were asked how much in taxes individuals earning given levels of income “should” pay. The resulting preferred tax rates generate reasonable budget sets, are consistent with observed tax rates, and correlate closely with conventional categorical preference ...

The Web IR experiment of TREC, otherwise known as the Web track, investigated in its initial stages the strategies for the same ad-hoc retrieval task as was done previously with plain text documents. Although many TREC participants explored methods of leveraging non-textual sources of information such as hyperlinks and document structure, the general consensus among the early Web track particip...

In recent years, neural networks have been applied widely in industry. The most commonly used model is the backpropagation (BP) multilayer neural network (Ryan, Sementilli, and Hunt, 1991; Karunanithi, Whitey, and Malaiya, 1992; Ohga and Seki, 1993; Fan, Nikolaou, and White, 1993; Huang and Lindqvist, 1995; and Malmgren and Nordlund, 1996). Among the drawbacks of the BP neural network are local...

In the March issue of this journal Patrizia Tosi and Michele Cavo reported about the use of thalidomide in multiple myeloma (MM).1 They underline that the mechanisms of action of thalidomide are poorly defined yet. Among them (some of which are only hypothesized2), one of the most controversial is whether thalidomide acts as an anti-angiogenic. The use of thalidomide in patients with endstage r...
