April 2008 Abstract This paper presents an axiomatic model of probabilistic choice under risk. In this model, when it comes to choosing one lottery over another, each alternative has a chance of being selected, unless one lottery stochastically dominates the other. An individual behaves as if he compares lotteries to a reference lottery—a least upper bound or a greatest lower bound in terms of ...

We prove that hyperbolic groups are weakly amenable. This partially extends the result of Cowling and Haagerup showing that lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank one are weakly amenable. We take a combinatorial approach in the spirit of Haagerup and prove that for the word length metric d on a hyperbolic group, the Schur multipliers associated with r have uniformly bounded norms for 0 < r ...

This article examines the elite construction of cultural landscapes in Harare. Since assuming reins power Zimbabwe African Nation Union (ZANU) 1977, Robert Mugabe invented a political culture that conflated him with spirit mediums whom nationalist movement had elevated to national deities and dead kings. continued cultivate this post-colonial era using different discourses self-presentation. Th...

We construct a universal prediction system in the spirit of Popper’s falsifiability and Kolmogorov complexity. This prediction system does not depend on any statistical assumptions, but under the IID assumption it dominates, although in a rather weak sense, conformal prediction. Not for nothing do we call the laws of nature “laws”: the more they prohibit, the more they say. The Logic of Scienti...

We prove an inequality for the entropy numbers in terms of nonlinear Kolmogorov’s widths. This inequality is in a spirit of known inequalities of this type and it is adjusted to the form convenient in applications for m-term approximations with respect to a given system. Also, we obtain upper bounds for the m-term approximation by the Weak Relaxed Greedy Algorithm with respect to a system which...

 The purpose of this paper is to explore the influential factors on entrepreneurial spirit of wood and paper industries students in two universities, namely Agriculture and natural resources faculty of Tehran University and Shahid Rajaiee teacher training University. A sample of 100 students were selected from a target population of 572 students using the Cochran formula. The respondents ...

Prediction of drug response based on genomic alterations is an important task in the research of personalized medicine. Current elastic net model utilized a sure independence screening to select relevant genomic features with drug response, but it may neglect the combination effect of some marginally weak features. In this work, we applied an iterative sure independence screening scheme to sele...

Traditional Iranian Medicine (T.I.M.) is a branch of natural history sciences that has originated from theoretical wisdom. The philosophy of this medicine is dependent on the hakims and philosophers viewpoint to the world and then to the fashion and general quality of its parts. This holisticly viewpoint to the human beside available intellectual comparisons and partition in medicine (Unlike wh...
