Indicators for Social and Economic Coping Capacity - Moving Toward a Working Definition of Adaptive Capacity”, Wesleyan-CMU Working Paper.

by Gary Yohe , Richard S J Tol , Gary Yohe , 2001
"... Abstract This paper offers a practically motivated method for evaluating systems' abilities to handle external stress. The method is designed to assess the potential contributions of various adaptation options to improving systems' coping capacities by focusing attention directly on the u ..."

options might be made and who has access to the decision-making process. For example, the World Bank follows certain procedures in its investment decisions, and adaptation projects in countries seeking World Bank support must satisfy Bank criteria before even being considered. The European Union also has

Party over Policy: The Dominating Impact of Group Influence

by Geoffrey L Cohen - on Political Beliefs.’’ Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , 2003
"... Four studies demonstrated both the power of group influence in persuasion and people's blindness to it. Even under conditions of effortful processing, attitudes toward a social policy depended almost exclusively upon the stated position of one's political party. This effect overwhelmed th ..."

The underappreciated role of social identity in persuasion is discussed. One of the most durable lessons in social psychology is the power of group influence. Yet, that lesson

"... The theory in this paper highlights the trade-offs that knowledge intensive firms confront when deciding among mergers/acquisitions, joint ventures, alliances, and arm’s length contracts. Idefine a knowledge intensive firm as a collection of the knowledge assets that it owns and the agents who have ..."

full access to such assets. Therefore, boundary decisions between two firms are modeled using access to knowledge and ownership of knowledge. Modeling boundary choices using ownership cannot provide optimal incentives since ownership affects incentives asymmetrically, and ownership can encourage over

The central question in entrepreneurial cognition research 2007. Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice,

by Ronald K Mitchell , Lowell W Busenitz , Barbara Bird Connie , Marie Gaglio , Jeffery S Mcmullen , Eric A Morse , J Brock Smith , 2007
"... In this article, we take note of advances in the entrepreneurial cognition research stream. In doing so, we bring increasing attention to the usefulness of entrepreneurial cognition research. First, we offer and develop a central research question to further enable entrepreneurial cognition inquiry ..."

that is consistent with, and flows from, the previously noted beginnings. In our 2002 article, we defined entrepreneurial cognitions to be: the knowledge structures that people use to make assessments, judgments or decisions involving opportunity evaluation and venture creation and growth (Mitchell, Busenitz et al

Aspects of endowment: a query theory of value construction.

by Eric J Johnson , Gerald Häubl , Anat Keinan - J. Exp. Psychol. Learn Mem. Cogn. , 2007
"... ), in which participants are randomly given either a good, such as a coffee mug, that they may later sell ("sellers") or a choice between the good and amounts of cash ("choosers"). Sellers typically demand at least twice as much as choosers, inconsistent with economic theory. Th ..."

RICE UNIVERSITY Regime Change: Sampling Rate vs. Bit-Depth in Compressive Sensing

by Jason Noah Laska , 2011
"... The compressive sensing (CS) framework aims to ease the burden on analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) by exploiting inherent structure in natural and man-made signals. It has been demon-strated that structured signals can be acquired with just a small number of linear measurements, on the order of t ..."

of the signal complexity. In practice, this enables lower sampling rates that can be more easily achieved by current hardware designs. The primary bottleneck that limits ADC sam-pling rates is quantization, i.e., higher bit-depths impose lower sampling rates. Thus, the decreased sampling rates of CS ADCs

Constrained Classification for Infrastructure Threat Assessment Constrained Classification for Infrastructure Threat Assessment

by K P Lennox , L Glascoe , Kristin P Lennox , Lee Glascoe
"... Abstract-Validated computer simulation is an important aspect of critical infrastructure vulnerability assessment. The high computational cost of such models limits the number of threat scenarios that may be directly evaluated, which leads to a need for statistical emulation to predict outcomes for ..."

We propose a constrained classifier, in the form of a parametric support vector machine, that allows us to incorporate expert knowledge into the shape of the decision boundary. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique with both a simulation study

Chapter 12 Rough Sets and Rough Logic: A KDD Perspective

by Zdzis Law Pawlak, Lech Polkowski, Andrzej Skowron
"... Abstract Basic ideas of rough set theory were proposed by Zdzis law Pawlak [85, 86] in the early 1980’s. In the ensuing years, we have witnessed a systematic, world–wide growth of interest in rough sets and their applications. The main goal of rough set analysis is induction of approximations of con ..."
