Recursive Smooth Ambiguity Preferences.
No full textThis paper axiomatizes an intertemporal version of the Smooth Ambiguity decision model developed in [P. Klibanoff, M. Marinacci, S. Mukerji, A smooth model of decision making under ambiguity, Econometrica 73 (6) (2005) 1849–1892]. A key feature of the model is that it achieves a separation between ambiguity, identified as a characteristic of the decision maker's subjective beliefs, and ambiguity attitude, a characteristic of the decision maker's tastes. In applications one may thus specify/vary these two characteristics independent of each other, thereby facilitating richer comparative statics and modeling flexibility than possible under other models which accommodate ambiguity sensitive preferences. Another key feature is that the preferences are dynamically consistent and have a recursive representation. Therefore techniques of dynamic programming can be applied when using this model

On the Smooth Ambiguity Model: A Reply
No full textWe …find that Epstein (2010)'s Ellsberg-style thought experiments pose, contrary to his claims, no paradox or difficulty for the smooth ambiguity model of decision making under uncertainty developed by Klibanoff, Marinacci and Mukerji (2005). Not only are the thought experiments naturally handled by the smooth ambiguity model, but our reanalysis shows that they highlight some of its strengths compared to models such as the maxmin expected utility model (Gilboa and Schmeidler, 1989). In particular, these examples pose no challenge to the model's foundations, interpretation of the model as a¤ording a separation of ambiguity and ambiguity attitude or the potential for calibrating ambiguity attitude in the model
Signal analysis of the electromyogram
No full textThe author has postulated that the relevant information of the human neuromuscular system during voluntary muscle contractions is contained in the surface electromyogram, or EMG. This information is important in diagnosis, modelling and rehabilitation, and consists of two parts. The first is the action potential waveform of motor units, and the second the random firing pattern of several such units. This hypothesis is borne out by the existing state of art in electrophysiological analysis and modelling. Rigorous statistical analysis of the EMG of three muscles of volunteers showed gross similarities in variance, statistical bandwidth and spectral moments, which suggested that a common physical phenomenon was involved. A biphasic waveform model of the action potential was formulated, and its estimated parameters obtained from spectral-moment functions showed strong similarities for different subjects, as well as for all three muscle groups. On the basis of these preliminary analyses, and using digital filtering techniques, the EMG spectra were decomposed, with the expectation of obtaining the action-potential waveform and the firing-patterns. This was indeed found to be so, the spectrum off the model closely agreeing with that obtained from spectral decomposition of the real signal. Moreover, a realistic average waveform of the action-potential was obtained, in addition to estimates of the number of such waves in each data segment. A set of analytical results and statistics of similarity-parameters are presented, considered to be the first of their kind anywhere to be basedon the decoded surface electromyogram alone.</p
Comment on Ellsberg's two-color experiment, portfolio inertia and ambiguity

We point out by a counterexample that the axioms they impose are too weak for Proposition 1. We introduce a modified set of axioms and re-establish the propositionambiguity;bid ask spread;Ellsberg paradox
Fungi of Delhi. XII. Chaetomium lawransamesii sp. n.
No full textChaetomium lawransamesii has been described as a new species. This is characterised in possessing bigger fusiform ascospores and myceloid terminal hair on its perithecia. During our studies on the ecology and taxonomy of plant surface fungi, we have isolated several forms isolated. This paper describes a no w species of Chaetomium which differes from all the known species possessing fusiform ascospores (L o d h a 1964; Rai, Mukerji 1962). It has characteristic long myceloid hairs on its body. This form has been named as C. lawransamesii in honour of late Dr Lawrence M. Ames
The self as experiencing: The theory of self of Anukul Chandra Mukerji
No full textV diplomskem delu bomo predstavili teorijo sebstva Anukula Chandre Mukerjija, ki sebstvo pojmuje kot nespremenljivo zavest, imanentno in transcendentalno bit, ki izkuša/omogoča izkušanje. Čeprav nikoli nimamo izkustva nedoločene biti – izkustva, ki že ne bi vsebovalo predmetnih določitev, – bomo zaradi konsistentnosti izrecno izpostavili, da združevanje (enotnost) sebstva z vsem prisotnim edino lahko pojasni možnost spoznavanja, ki ga razumemo kot predmetno določljivost.This dissertation is mainly a presentation of Anukul Chandra Mukerji\u27s theory of self, according to which the self is to be understood as unchanging consciousness, immanent and transcendent being and experiencing. Although we never have an experience of undetermined being – an experience that would not already contain objective determinations, – we have to, out of consistency, explicitly state, that only the binding (unity) of consciousness with everything present enables the things to enter the knowledge relation and within it be objectively determined
