This paper studies comparative risk aversion between risk averse agents in the presence of a background risk. Although the literature covers this question extensively, our contribution differs from most of the literature in two respects. First, background risk does not need to be additive or multiplicative. Second, the two risks are not necessary mean independent, and may be conditional expecta...

are preserved in the Ross Archives at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), and others in the Seamen's Hospital Society archive. One letter not mentioned in Cook's paper was written by Lockwood Stevens many years later, to his former secretary, Miss Ethne Roberts, who had joined him at the Ross Institute in 1926. She had transferred with him, and it, to the London School o...

A grounded ice sheet fed from the Ross Embayment filled McMurdo Sound at the last glacial maximum (LGM). This sheet deposited the little-weathered Ross Sea drift sheet, with far-traveled Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) erratics, on lower slopes of volcanic islands and peninsulas in the Sound, as well as on coastal forelands along the TAM front. The mapped upper limit of this drift, commonly mark...

Donald Nixon Ross, FRCS (4 October 1922 to 7 July 2014) was a South African-born British cardiothoracic surgeon, who developed the pulmonary autograft, known as the Ross procedure, for the treatment of aortic valve disease, and also performed the first heart transplant in the United Kingdom in 1968. This paper, written by Jane Somerville, Professor of Cardiology [Retired], Imperial College Lond...

Ocean measurements in the Ross Sea over the past four decades, one of the longest records near Antarctica, reveal marked decreases in shelf water salinity and the surface salinity within the Ross Gyre. These changes have been accompanied by atmospheric warming on Ross Island, ocean warming at depths of approximately 300 meters north of the continental shelf, a more negative Southern Oscillation...

A multidisciplinary approach incorporating otolith chemistry, age data, and numerical Lagrangian particle simulations indicated a single, self-recruiting population of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in the Southeast Pacific Basin (SPB) and Ross Sea, with a life history structured by the large-scale circulation. Chemistry deposited prior to capture along otolith edges demonstrated st...

Heterogeneous clustered sensor networks (HCSNs) help meet the cost, lifetime, and scalability requirements of real applications. However, the security solution should be reconsidered for their unique properties, such as uneven resources and innetwork processing. In this paper, we provide a resource oriented security solution (ROSS) to protect the network connectivity of HCSNs. ROSS is a robust ...

We have read with very great interest this little book published bj7 Mr. W. H. S. Jones, with added chapters by Major R. Ross, F.R.S., C.B., and Dr. C. G. Ellett * The chief author, Mr. Jones, is a classical scholar of distinction, and his views are, therefore, entitled to respect. We may agree with much of what Major Ross says in the introductory chapter that widespread disease is an important...
