This research proposed parrondo’s paradox strategies in the serious game of Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) using forest fire model, which develop the existence of the parrondo paradox and applied in serious game of RTGS system as switching in the settlement process. The settlement process, that our proposed at this paper, is managed by clearing house. The mechanism at clearing house is a tra...

Abstract Background Access to reliable energy services is increasingly seen as a prerequisite for well-being and human development. Copious research documents the negative consequences that occur when nations specialize in natural resource production, creating “natural curse” or “paradox of plenty”. In this analysis, we evaluate how dependence, measured oil gas impacts security. Results Using e...

representations of contexts, recall, assign specific values to variables (§3.3.6). This includes the standards variable s. Hence the inductive premise is false given any abstract context c. (For instance, if we assume a context c1 such that sc1(rich) = 100, then n = 99 provides a counterinstance: x99’s degree of wealth isn’t at least as great as the degree standard of richness in c1, but x100’s...

It is widely believed that an oil weapon could impose scarcity upon the United States. Impending resource exhaustion is thought to exacerbate this threat. However, threat seems implausible when we consider strategic deficits of prospective weapon users and the improbability of impending resource exhaustion. Here, we explore a hypothesis relating oil to national security under a different assump...

Perhaps the single most destructive tenet of Keynesian economics was its denigration of saving. Keynesianism has been used to justi~’ wasteful spending, massive deficits, and one after another scheme to redistribute wealth from those who would save it to those who would spend it. In keeping with this anti-saving doctrine, during the Christmas sellingseason of 1991, then President Bush made a bi...

In February this year, a new edition of Geoffrey Rose’s classical book Strategy of Preventive Medicine was published, with a commentary by Kay-Tee Khaw and Michael Marmot. The commentary summarizes the life and work of Geoffrey Rose, explains the main content and impact of the classical book and gives plenty of examples that illustrate the validity of Rose’s theses. Coincidentally, in the Febru...
