Uncaging Animal Spirits: Essays on Engineering, Entrepreneurship, and Economics

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: edited by Martha V. Gottron Chemical engineering has been one of the major high-tech growth industries of the post-World War II period, and one of the few in which U.S. companies have retained an international advantage over their competitors. As an engineer and entrepreneur, Ralph Landau played a large role in this success story. Uncaging Animal Spirits collects all of Landau`s major papers from the last thirty years, covering his scientific discoveries, his views on innovation and entrepreneurship, hisreflections on his own field of chemical engineering, and his research on the global marketplace, and on the relation of technology, innovation, and the economy. The emphasis throughout is on Landau`s view of the status of entrepreneurship in the United States, as tempered by his experience in an international business and his many attempts to get the federal government to think seriously about its role in creating a reasonable playing field for entrepreneurs. As Landau developed his… [detailed...]

Uncanny: The Art and Design of Shawn Wolfe

2001 y.
Publisher: —
Description: An `uncanny` collection of Shawn Wolfe`s most provocative work. In 1984, having spent seven years in and around advertising, Wolfe established BeatkitT, the world`s first ever anti-brand. It was a brand without a product and was intended to be a shining example of what was sick and wrong in a culture gone mad with consumerism. From 1984 to 2000 BeatkitT sought to expose the dark nature of consumerism, consumption and disposal, all of which escalate the fundamental crises of contemporary life: using up of natural resources, ecological ruin, cynicism, and alienation. Wolfe used and reused images such as the Bionic Cat and the Removerinstaller until they had achieved the abstract presence of the Nike swoosh. Perhaps the real magic in his work is that it draws us in but delivers nothing. [detailed...]

Uncertain Decisions: Bridging Theory and Experiments

Publisher: —
Description: Uncertain Decisions: Bridging Theory and Experiments presents advanced directions of thinking on decision theory -- in particular the more recent contributions on non-expected utility theory, fuzzy decision theory and case-based theory. This work also provides theoretical insights on measures of risk aversion and on new problems for general equilibrium analysis. It analyzes how the thinking that underlies the theories described above spills over into real decisions, and how the thinking that underlies these real decisions can explain the discrepancies between theoretical approaches and actual behavior. This work elaborates on how the most recent laboratory experiments have become an important source both for evaluating the leading theory of choice and decision, and for contributing to the formation of new models regarding the subject.

Raymond F. Betts
Uncertain Dimensions: Western Overseas Empires in the Twentieth Century (Europe and the World in Age of Expansion)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: World War I battered the Western imperial systems and destroyed one, that of Germany, but it did not sound the death knell of an empire. The “scramble” for overseas territory ha reached a virtual conclusion shortly before the war, afterwards, the main business of empire was to ensure a pax colonia: the often contradictory goals of a stable government and economic development. It is with the years between world wars - the brief age of administrative empire - that Raymond Betts is chiefly concerned in this book. An unsettled time, when individuals coped with empire of uncertain dimensions, the interwar years nonetheless left a material legacy - railroads, motor roads, public buildings - and an ideological one - the voices of protest that led to independence after World War II. Preeminently a cultural history of the era rather than a political narrative, Uncertain Dimensions centers upon the regions we now call the Third World - Subsaharan Africa and Southeast Asia - and the major… [detailed...]

Uncertain Inheritance, An: Writers on Caring for Family

2007 y.
Publisher: William Morrow
Description: Today, thirty million people look after frail family members in their own homes. This number will increase drastically over the next decade-as baby boomers tiptoe toward old age, as soldiers return home from war wounded, mentally and physically, as a growing number of Americans find themselves caught between the needs of elderly parents and young children, as medical advances extend lives and health insurance fails to cover them. This compelling book offers both literary solace and guidance to the people who find themselves witness to-and participants in-the fading lives of their intimates. Some of the country`s most accomplished writers offer frank insights and revelations about this complex relationship. Julia Glass describes the tension between giving care-to her two young sons-and needing care after being diagnosed with breast cancer, Ann Harleman explores her decision to place her husband in an institution, Sam Lipsyte alternates between dark humor and profound… [detailed...]

Uncertain Volatility Models - Theory and Application

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book introduces Uncertain Volatility Models in mathematical finance. Uncertain Volatility Models evaluate option portfolios under worst- and best-case scenarios when the volatility coefficient of the pricing model cannot be determined exactly. The user defines subjective volatility constraints, within those constraints, extremal prices are computed. This book studies two types of constraints: volatility bands with upper and lower bounds, and shock scenarios with short periods of extreme volatility, but unkown timing. Uncertain Volatility Models are nonlinear. Worst- and best-case scenarios applied to isolated option positions do not always lead to the same extremal volatility. When applied to an options portfolio, a diversification effect reduces the overall exposure to volatility fluctuations within the subjective constraints. This book explores algorithmic issues that arise due to nonlinearity. Because Uncertain Volatility Models must be applied to option portfolios… [detailed...]

Uncertainty Approaches for Spatial Data Modeling and Processing: A decision support perspective (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor Ashley Morris who passed away some two years ago. Ashley was a close friend of all of us, the editors of this volume, and was also a Ph.D. student of one of us. We all had a chance to not only fully appreciate, and be inspired by his contributions, which have had a considerable impact on the entire research community. Due to our personal relations with Ashley, we also had an opportunity to get familiar with his deep thinking about the areas of his expertise and interests. Ashley has been involved since the very beginning of his professional career in database research and practice. Notably, he introduced first some novel solution in database management systems that could handle imprecise and uncertain data, and flexible queries based on imprecisely specified user interests. He proposed to use for that purpose fuzzy logic as an effective and efficient tool. Later the interests of Ashley moved to ways of how to represent and manipulate… [detailed...]

This subject is at the intersection of two areas of knowledge: information systems is an area that concentrates on the design of practical systems that can store and retrieve information, uncertainty modeling is an area in artificial intelligence concerned with accurate representation of uncertain information and with inference and decision-making under conditions infused with uncertainty. The first part of this book describes issues and challenges in the area of imperfect information that confront information systems, and the second part covers the principal theories for modeling imperfect information, and shows how these theories may be adapted to information systems.

Description: ?The disturbance of an ecosystem is a unique, one-off event which involves, in the author?s terms, ?hard uncertainty?.

In doing so he makes a major contribution to Shacklean economics by conducting ?laboratory experiments? with some of the personnel associated with the project and provides fascinating original material on the impact on the ecosystem. He demonstrates how Shackle?s theory can be used in decisions that involve environmental concerns.? - J.F. Ford, Emeritus Professor, University of Birmingham, UK This thought provoking book is concerned with the need to deal adequately with uncertainty in environmental decision making.
