description: Using the MEGAFLOW survey, which consists of a combination of MUSE and UVES observations of 22 quasar fields selected to contain strong MgII absorbers, we measure covering fractions of CIV and MgII as a function of impact parameter $b$ using a novel Bayesian logistic regression method on unbinned data, appropriate for small samples. We also analyse how the CIV and MgII covering fractions evolve with redshift. In the MUSE data, we found 215 $z=1-1.5$ [OII] emitters with fluxes $>10^{-17}$ erg\,s$^{-1}$\,cm$^{-2}$ and within 250 kpc of quasar sight-lines. Over this redshift path $z=1-1.5$, we have 19 (32) CIV (MgII) absorption systems with rest-frame equivalent width (REW) $W_r>$0.05Å associated with at least one [OII] emitter. The covering fractions of $z\approx1.2$ CIV (MgII) absorbers with mean $W_r\approx$0.7Å (1.0Å), exceeds 50\% within 23$^{+62}_{-16}$ (46$^{+18}_{-13}$) kpc. Together with published studies, our results suggest that the covering fraction of CIV (MgII) becomes larger (smaller) with time, respectively. For absorption systems that have CIV but not MgII, we find in 73\% of the cases no [OII] counterpart. This may indicate that the CIV comes from the intergalactic medium (IGM), i.e. beyond 250 kpc, or that it is associated with lower-mass or quiescent galaxies.

description: This paper presents the construction of a 1996 regionalized Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for Mexico. The SAM differentiates production across five regions, four rural and a fifth Anational@ urban region. The rural regions are differentiated by their agricultural production technologies. There are three households in each region, disaggregated by income level, so that the SAM can be used in studies of income distribution. The data come from a variety of sources, including Mexico's System of National Accounts, the National Survey on Household Income and Consumption, and the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Development. As a result, the data are not consistent and the "adding up" constraints of the SAM are not met. The SAM is then estimating using entropy techniques to incorporate the data in a consistent way.

description: We derive general properties of the finite-size scaling of probability density functions and show that when the apparent exponent \tautilde of a probability density is less than 1, the associated finite-size scaling ansatz has a scaling exponent τequal to 1, provided that the fraction of events in the universal scaling part of the probability density function is non-vanishing in the thermodynamic limit. We find the general result that τ>=1 and τ>=\tautilde. Moreover, we show that if the scaling function G(x) approaches a non-zero constant for small arguments, \lim_{x-> 0} G(x) > 0, then τ=\tautilde. However, if the scaling function vanishes for small arguments, \lim_{x-> 0} G(x) = 0, then τ=1, again assuming a non-vanishing fraction of universal events. Finally, we apply the formalism developed to examples from the literature, including some where misunderstandings of the theory of scaling have led to erroneous conclusions.

description: In this paper we develop a bivariate discrete modifiedWeibull (BDMW) distribution and derived some of its important properties such as joint survival function, marginal survival function, conditional survival function, joint probability generating function and hazard rate function. The significance of additional parameter in BDMW is tested using generalized likelihood ratio test. Also we construct a finite mixture ofBDMWand established its identifiability condition. Certain properties of the mixture model are derived. The parameters of BDMW are estimated through method of maximum likelihood.

Probing Matter Radii of Neutron-Rich Nuclei by Antiproton Scattering

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: We propose to use antiprotons to investigate the sizes of stable and neutron-rich exotic nuclei by measurements of the $\pbar A$ absorption cross section along isotopic chains in inverse kinematics. The expected effects are studied theoretically in a microscopic model. The $\pbar U$ optical potentials are obtained by folding free space $\pbar N$ scattering amplitudes with HFB ground state densities and solving the scattering equations by direct integration. The mass dependence of absorption cross sections is found to follow closely the nuclear root-mean-square radii. The total absorption cross section is shown to be a superposition of cross sections describing partial absorption on neutrons and protons, respectively. Thus measuring the differential cross sections for absorption on neutrons and protons will give information on their respective distributions. In neutron-rich nuclei the outer neutron layer shields the absorption on the protons giving access to investigations of antiproton-neutron interactions in matter.

description: All previous tests of local realism have studied correlations between single-particle measurements. In the present experiment, we have performed a Bell experiment on three particles in which one of the measurements corresponds to a projection onto a maximally-entangled state. We show theoretically and experimentally, that correlations between these entangled measurements and single-particle measurements are too strong for any local-realistic theory and are experimentally exploited to violate a CHSH-Bell inequality by more than 5 standard deviations. We refer to this possibility as "entangled entanglement".

Quark and Lepton Mass and Mixing with non-universal $Z'$ from a 5d Standard Model with gauged $SO(3)$

description: We propose a theory of quark and lepton mass and mixing with non-universal $Z'$ couplings based on a 5d Standard Model with quarks and leptons transforming as triplets under a new gauged $SO(3)$ isospin. In the 4d effective theory, the $SO(3)$ isospin is broken to $U(1)'$, through a $S^1/(\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}'_2)$ orbifold, then subsequently dynamically broken, resulting in a massive $Z'$. Quarks and leptons in the 5d bulk appear as massless modes, with zero Yukawa couplings to the Higgs on the brane, and zero couplings to $Z'$, at leading order, due to the $U(1)'$ symmetry. However, after the $U(1)'$ breaking, both Yukawa couplings and non-universal $Z'$ couplings are generated by heavy Kaluza-Klein exchanges. Hierarchical quark and lepton masses result from a hierarchy of 5d Dirac fermion masses. Neutrino mass and mixing arises from a novel type Ib seesaw mechanism, mediated by Kaluza-Klein Dirac neutrinos. The non-universal $Z'$ couplings may contribute to semi-leptonic $B$ decay ratios which violate $μ- e$ universality. In this model such couplings are related to the corresponding quark and lepton effective Yukawa couplings.

Toward a "conflict" pedagogy: a critical discourse analysis of "conflict" in conflict management education
Creators: name: Fisher, R. Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research study reviewed several disciplinary fields and their conceptualizations of conflict. The primary guiding question was, what is the best conflict education that is required for youth and adults to live in the world of a "culture of violence" in the list century? The general purpose of the study was to provide a critique that would initiate an expanded conflict imaginary, as educators and lifelong learners face a world of growing complex social and cultural conflicts. The "case" under specific critical analysis was identified as conflict management education (CME). CME provided the primary subject (text) for a critical discourse analysis of its conceptualizations of conflict. The main purpose of the study was to determine the hegemony of discourse in the text of a "representative" sample of 22 contemporary CME handbooks and manuals for youth and adults. CME was found to be a new social movement with a powerful "social technology" to change attitudes and behaviors, in order to diminish or eliminate violence. This study found there are virtually no systematic critiques of CME and no significant critiques that focus on the conceptualization of conflict itself. The discourse of CME's conceptualizations of conflict tended toward an ideological bias of consensus, unity, cooperation, 'peace and harmony;' and located within a politically conservative, pragmatist, social psychological discourse. The entire domain of conflict knowledge from critical pedagogies and the sociological conflict theory tradition was largely ignored in CME text. This has significant political and sociocultural implications in the biased shaping of conflict knowledge and the concomitant power relations of teaching, learning, and the constructing of 'democracy' itself. Without a critique of its own discourses, CME has limited means, as a discipline of knowledge, to establish how it may be perpetuating the very violence it is attempting to eliminate. 'Conflict' pedagogy is offered as an alternative to constructing a critical conflict education as counterhegemonic to CME. This report closes with a discussion of reflections on the study and recommendations for further research.

description: Deep surveys of {\em Chandra} and {\em HST} (Hubble Space Telescope) show that active galactic nucleus (AGN) populations are changing with hard X-ray luminosities. This arises an interesting question whether the dusty torus is evolving with the central engines. We assemble a sample of 50 radio-quiet PG quasars to tackle this problem. The covering factors of the dusty tori can be estimated from the multiwavelength continuum. We find they are strongly correlated with the hard X-ray luminosity. Interestingly this correlation agrees with the fraction of type II AGNs discovered by {\em Chandra} and {\em HST}, implying strong evidence for that the AGN population changing results from the evolution of the tori. We also find that the frequencies of the dips around 1$μ$m in the continuum correlate with the covering factors in the present sample, indicating the dip frequencies are adjusted by the covering factors. In the scenario of fueling black hole from the torus, the covering factor is a good and the dip frequency is a potential indicator of the torus evolution.

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In this work we perform an observational data analysis on the $f(R,T)$ gravity with the aim of constraining the parameter space of the model. Five different models are considered and the 30 point $z-H(z)$ cosmic chronometer data is used in our analysis. The $χ^2$ statistic is formulated as a difference between the theoretical and the observed values of $H(z)$ for different values of redshift $z$. Efforts have been made to minimize the statistic in order to get the best fit values for the free parameters models. We have also used some standard distance measurement parameters like BAO and CMB peaks along with the data for achieving better constraints on the parameter space. We have used the publicly available \textit{CosmoMC} code for obtaining the bounds for the free parameters of the models in different confidence intervals like $68\%$, $95\%$, $99\%$. 1D distributions and 2D joint confidence contours for various confidence levels mentioned above are generated for the free parameters using the \textit{CosmoMC} code. Finally our models have been compared with the standard $ΛCDM$ model by some statistical techniques using the observational data and the support for the models from the data is probed.

description: This paper studies the long-term feasibility of citrus crop, either grown organically or employing integrated production methods, in the Region of Valencia, Spain. The concept of sustainability in agriculture has become a subject of general interest, and obtaining high-quality and safe food standards is a priority of the European Union authorities, especially after the recent crises of the European agrifood system. Citrus production made of 43.3% of Valencia's agricultural production in 2000 (CAPA 2003a), with the Comunidad Valenciana being the primary exporter of citrus for fresh consumption (Peris and Julia 2005a). Production-cost studies of the three orange-production systems used in the region (conventional, IP, and organic) were conducted as the research framework. Costs for each of these systems using oranges cultivated with flow irrigation and oranges grown employing drip-irrigation systems were developed. The long-term feasibility of the alternative citrus-growing systems was then analyzed using dynamic evaluation methods. Finally, the research was completed with the assumption of an inflation rate in the economic evaluation of the different cropping practices to reflect the true impact of the evolution of agricultural market prices on farmers' income.

description: Per-capita consumption of sauerkraut in the U.S. has exhibited a continuously declining trend since the 1960s and 1970s. Consumption trends in the U.S. food market today are strongly determined by consumers' desire for new and exciting flavors. However, sauerkraut sold in the market nowadays is not much different from sauerkraut made in the past. Through the addition of savory ingredients such as onions, garlic, dill seed, green peppers, mustard seeds and jalapeno peppers to the traditional cabbage kraut in different amounts and blends, Cornell University developed many new sauerkraut formulations. This study assessed the market viability of six new sauerkraut formulations, including sauerkraut containing the following ingredients in concentrations indicated in parentheses: garlic (1%), onion (30%), dill seed (1%), jalapeno peppers (10%), green peppers (20%), and onion and jalapeno peppers (25% and 5%, respectively). It encompassed a mail survey administered to 2,500 individuals in five U.S. cities and a more in-depth preference sensory-evaluation test conducted with 81 untrained panelists. Results showed that two of the new sauerkraut formulations tested sauerkraut with garlic and sauerkraut with dill have the highest marketing potential, and recommendations are made for potential marketing strategies.

description: Blazars are among the most studied sources in high-energy astrophysics as they form the largest fraction of extragalactic gamma-ray sources and are considered prime candidates for being the counterparts of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. Their reliable identification amid the many faint radio sources is a crucial step for multi-messenger counterpart associations. As the astronomical community prepares for the coming of a number of new facilities able to survey the non-thermal sky at unprecedented depths, from radio to gamma-rays, machine learning techniques for fast and reliable source identification are ever more relevant. The purpose of this work was to develop a deep learning architecture to identify blazar within a population of AGN based solely on non-contemporaneous spectral energy distribution information, collected from publicly available multi-frequency catalogues. This study uses an unprecedented amount of data, with SEDs for $\approx 14,000$ sources collected with the Open Universe VOU-Blazars tool. It uses a convolutional long-short term memory neural network purposefully built for the problem of SED classification, which we describe in detail and validate. The network was able to distinguish blazars from other types of AGNs to a satisfying degree (achieving a ROC area under curve of $0.98$), even when trained on a reduced subset of the whole sample. This initial study does not attempt to classify blazars among their different sub-classes, or quantify the likelihood of any multi-frequency or multi-messenger association, but is presented as a step towards these more practically-oriented applications.

description: The Skyrme-Faddeev-Niemi (SFN) model which is an O(3) $σ$ model in three dimensional space up to fourth-order in the first derivative is regarded as a low-energy effective theory of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. One can show from the Wilsonian renormalization group argument that the effective action of Yang-Mills theory recovers the SFN in the infrared region. However, the theory contains another fourth-order term which destabilizes the soliton solution. In this paper we derive an extended action including second derivative terms and obtain soliton solutions numerically. A new topological lower bound formula is infered for the extended action.

description: Contract strategies can resolve some of the challenges that exist for property rights conformance of genetically modified (GM) crops. The purpose of this research is to determine how contract terms impact adoption decisions related to GM grain production and marketing. A simulation model was developed for prospective GM introduction in hard red spring (HRS) wheat, and distributions of net returns for growers were analyzed using stochastic dominance and stochastic efficiency. Results illustrate that contracts can be designed to induce desired behavior. Technology fees, probabilities of detection, and the level of non-GM premiums were the most notable factors influencing adoption decisions. In addition, point-of-delivery pricing and premiums for non-GM production impact adoption decisions.

description: The effects of ion beam induced atomic mixing and subsequent thermal treatment in Si/C multilayer structures are investigated by use of the technique of grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The [Si (3.0 nm) / C (2.5 nm)]x10 /Si multilayer films were prepared by electron beam evaporation under ultra high vacuum (UHV) environment. The layer thicknesses were measured using in-situ quartz crystal oscillator. These multilayer films were subjected to 40 keV Ar+ ion irradiation with fluences 5E-16 (low fluence) and 1E-17 ions / cm2 (high fluence).The as-prepared and irradiated multilayer samples were annealed at 773 K for one hour. The GIXRD and Raman spectroscopy results reveal the formation of different phases of SiC in these multilayer structures. Deposition induced reactions at the nano-structured interface and subsequent room temperature Ar ion irradiation at low fluence result in formation of the hexagonal SiC phase. High fluence Ar+ ion irradiation and subsequent annealing at 773 K for one hour leads to precipitation of the cubic-SiC phase.

The latter separates the two regions with oppositely signed inversion symmetry broken terms in graphene and Weyl semimetal. The DW is modelled by a smooth quantum well which hosts a number of discrete bound states including a pair of gapless, metallic zero-energy modes with opposite chiralities. We find clear signatures of these interfacial chiral bound states in spin response (RKKY exchange interaction) which is robust to the deformation of the quantum well.

description: A systems econometric model of the livestock (beef and pork), poultry (broiler), and corn sectors was estimated to evaluate cross-sector relationships. The equilibrium multipliers and comparative statics indicate unequal cross-effect of market disturbances, e.g., shocks in the livestock and poultry markets impact corn demand and supply more than shocks in the corn market impact livestock and poultry demands and supplies. Recent 2003 mad cow disease (BSE) problems in Canada and the United States display nontrivial cross-effects. For example, the BSE occurrences reduce real corn revenue in the United States by $0.62 billion, or 5.0% of its 2003 revenue.

description: Immunity in water buffalos stands unique properties, by which they withstand unpleasant environments. Spleen influence buffalo immunity through its hematopoietic and immunological roles. Because of that, we emphasized the normal anatomical, histological, and ultrastructural properties of the water buffalo spleen. We collected twenty spleens randomly from apparently healthy slaughtered water buffalos, aged 3-5 years, and weighed about 400-500 kilograms. We injected latex to highlight the splenic artery and vein branches. General histological and histochemical stains applied to splenic tissues and examined by light microscopy. On the ultrastructure level, spleen subjected to scanning and transmission electron techniques. Results revealed that the spleen of water buffalo is supported externally by thick fibromuscular connective tissue capsule which vascularizes by subcapsular sinus. Stromal trabeculae emerge from the capsule, entering splenic parenchyma, and we noticed it in two forms: avascular trabeculae and vascular trabeculae. Anatomical, light, and scanning findings proved that the splenic artery penetrates the splenic capsule and descends with vascular trabeculae as a trabecular artery until it ends as penciller artery. The parenchyma of water buffalo spleen differentiates into white pulp, which organizes into the periarterial lymphatic sheath along with lymph nodules, red pulp ropes in splenic sinuses among splenic cords, and marginal zone in which macrophage occupies great importance. The present work aims in-depth to study water buffalo spleen structure as a mechanism that can easily diagnose hematopoietic and immunological conditions and enable other researchers to develop effective vaccines and to regulate various diseases.

Two common stochastic trends and cycles govern the stochastic behaviors of price fluctuations in the world fiber market. These unobserved components have important implications as they can help in the design of more efficient commodity programs to smooth terms of trade shocks, especially in developing countries. The study found the effect of inventory adjustments on world cotton price is diminishing, which indicates that speculative behaviors in the world fiber market are less prevalent than previously thought.

description: One of the options to prepare for a potential outbreak of an infectious livestock disease is to initiate an animal tracking system, which would provide information on animal movements and facilitate disease management. This study examines the benefits of implementing an animal tracking system in the context of a simulated cattle disease outbreak with and without animal tracking. Estimates are provided for some of the losses that would be avoided with an animal tracking system if an infectious animal disease were introduced. The results show that the economic efficiency of an animal tracking system depends on such factors as inter-herd contact rates, effectiveness of animal disease response actions, and the extent to which an animal tracking system decreases the time of tracing animal movements. In the event of a highly infectious animal disease outbreak, substantial economic losses could be avoided if an effective animal tracking system is implemented.

description: Many media are divided into elementary units with irregular shape and size, as exemplified by domains in magnetic materials, bubbles in foams, or cells in biological tissues. Such media are essentially characterized by geometrical disorder of their elementary units, which we term cells. Cells set a reference scale at which are often assessed parameters and fields reflecting material properties and state. Here, we consider the spectral analysis of spatially varying fields. Such analysis is difficult in geometrically disordered media, because space discretization based on standard coordinate systems is not commensurate with the natural discretization into geometrically disordered cells. Indeed, we found that two classical spectral methods, the Fast Fourier Transform and the Graph Fourier transform, fail to reproduce all expected properties of spectra of plane waves and of white noise. We therefore built a method, which we call Cellular Fourier Transform (CFT), to analyze cell-scale fields, which comprise both discrete fields defined only at cell level and continuous fields smoothed out from their sub-cell variations. Our approach is based on the construction of a discrete operator suited to the disordered geometry and on the computation of its eigenvectors, which, respectively, play the same role as the Laplace operator and sine waves in Euclidean coordinate systems. We show that CFT has the expected behavior for sinusoidal fields and for random fields with long-range correlations. Our approach for spectral analysis is suited to any geometrically disordered material, such as a biological tissue with complex geometry, opening the path to systematic multiscale analyses of material behavior.

description: To reconcile the discrepancy between the efficient market hypothesis and grain marketing recommendations by advisory services and extension programs, simulated prices from an efficient market are used to compare performance of marketing practices over the long run and in individual 40-year periods. We find that an efficient market can generate diverse price behavior within finite samples, allowing for strategies that are inferior on average to perform relatively better, as frequently as half of the time in an average 40-year lifetime. Lifetime returns of strategies show considerable overlap, suggesting extremely low confidence in recommendations made based on short samples.

description: We present the first spectroscopic measurement of the spatial cross-correlation function between damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs) and Lyman break galaxies (LBGs). We obtained deep u'BVRI images of nine QSO fields with 11 known z ~ 3 DLAs and spectroscopically confirmed 211 R < 25.5 photometrically selected z > 2 LBGs. We find strong evidence for an overdensity of LBGs near DLAs versus random, the results of which are similar to that of LBGs near other LBGs. A maximum likelihood cross-correlation analysis found the best fit correlation length value of r_0 = 2.9^(+1.4)_(-1.5) h^(-1)Mpc using a fixed value of gamma = 1.6. The implications of the DLA-LBG clustering amplitude on the average dark matter halo mass of DLAs are discussed.

description: In this paper we introduce and study a new concept of parametrised topological complexity, a topological invariant motivated by the motion planning problem of robotics. In the parametrised setting, a motion planning algorithm has high degree of universality and flexibility, it can function under a variety of external conditions (such as positions of the obstacles etc). We explicitly compute the parameterised topological complexity of obstacle-avoiding collision-free motion of many particles (robots) in 3-dimensional space. Our results show that the parameterised topological complexity can be significantly higher than the standard (nonparametrised) invariant.

description: We prove strictly that one dimension spin 1/2 Heisenberg model has a symmetry of energy spectrum between its subspace $n$ and the subspace $L-n$ of the Fock space. Our proof is completed by introducing two general quantum operations. One is a flip operation of spin direction and another is a mirror reflection of spin sites.

International student admission to ESL programs in public and private post-secondary institutions in British Columbia
Creators: name: May, Cecily Marryat
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze policies and practices that facilitate and hinder international student admission to English as a Second Language (ESL) programs at public and private post-secondary institutions in British Columbia, from the perspective of institutions themselves. Since 1986, a proliferation of ESL programs for international students have emerged in public and private post-secondary institutions in B.C. and numbers of international students in the non-university sector of education in Canada have grown. The governments of B.C. and Canada recognize that English language training is a growing business in Canada and the world. Admissions procedures are but one factor of many that influence a student's decision to apply. This study assumes that streamlined admission to ESL programs will make Canada more attractive, and therefore increase its numbers of international students, a goal that exists for public and private institutions, for internationalization and economic purposes. The research question was: What facilitates and what hinders international student admission to ESL programs in public and private post-secondary institutions in British Columbia? Secondary questions were: How can admissions policies and procedures be more effective and more efficient? What are the implications for change at the institutional, provincial, and national levels? Over a six-week period in 1999, the author interviewed admissions personnel at forty post-secondary institutions in B.C. (sixteen public and twenty-four private), comprising 60% of those that met the selection criteria of providing year-round ESL to international students and having been in operation for three years. The interviews were transcribed and the data were analyzed with data from a questionnaire and written institutional material. The study finds and presents some institutional factors relating to documents, personnel, communication, fee payment and other issues that facilitate and hinder international student admission to ESL programs. However, the study also identifies areas beyond the control of institutions that, from the perspective of admissions personnel, may have a greater effect on international student admission to ESL programs and therefore on increasing the number of international students in Canada. The author makes ten recommendations for institutions and concludes with seven questions for future research.

description: We create virtual sources and receivers in a 3D subsurface using the previously derived single-sided homogeneous Green's function representation. We employ Green's functions and focusing functions that are obtained using reflection data at the Earth's surface, a macro velocity model and the Marchenko method. The homogeneous Green's function is a Green's function superposed with its time-reversal. Unlike the classical homogeneous Green's function representation, our approach requires no receivers on an enclosing boundary, however, it does require the source signal to be symmetric in time. We demonstrate that in 3D, the single-sided representation is an improvement over the classical representation by applying the representations to numerical data. We retrieve responses to virtual point sources with an isotropic and with a double-couple radiation pattern and compare the results to a directly modeled reference result. We also demonstrate the application of the single-sided representation for retrieving the response to a virtual rupture that consists of a superposition of double-couple point sources. This is achieved by obtaining the homogeneous Green's function for each source separately, before they are transformed to the causal Green's function, time-shifted and superposed. The single-sided representation is also used to monitor the complete wavefield that is caused by a numerically modeled rupture. However, the source signal of an actual rupture is not symmetric in time and the single-sided represenation can therefore only be used to obtain the causal Green's function. This approach leaves artifacts in the final result, however, these artifacts are limited in space and time.

Outlook for Interest Rates and the Exchange Rate

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1988
Subjects: Financial Economics

description: The theme of my paper is that, provided the terms of trade remain fairly stable, a real exchange rate at about its average 1986-87 level is consistent with a stabilisation of our external debt in 1991; and that the necessary turn-around in our trade balance can occur without requiring a marked slowing down in economic growth. The paper also argues that, if markets accept this view, interest rates will be able to sustain their recent decline.
An Expository Review of Bernoullian Decision Theory in Agriculture: Is Utility Futility?

description: An outline and appraisal is given of Bernoullian decision theory with a view to its potential use in agricultural contexts, both on and off the farm. Despite the existence of a variety of difficulties and unresolved problems, it is argued that Bernoulli's Principle--because of its recognition of the personal nature of decision making in terms of beliefs and preferences--represents the best possible approach to risky choice in agriculture.
