Overview: The author presents the theory of portfolio choice from a new perspective, recommending decision rules that have advantages over those currently used in theory and practice. Portfolio choice theory relies on expected values. Goodall argues that this dependence has a historical basis and argues that current decision rules are inadequate for most portfolio choice situations. Drawing on econometric solutions proposed for the problem of forecasting outcomes of a chance experiment, the author defines adequacy criteria, and proposes adequate decision rules for a variety of situations. Good

Overview: John Mills provides a critical survey of the way economics has developed. He argues that the main goal of economics ought to be to show how to achieve a combination of economic growth, full employment, low inflation, avoidance of extreme poverty and sustainability. That it has failed to do so is neither inevitable nor accidental. It has failed because of a combination of intellectual error and the effects of social and political pressure, which Mills claims could and should have been avoided.978-1-4039-1892-5978-1-4039-1440-8

Overview: Aids im gesellschaftlichen KontextDie klassischen Untersuchungen der Sozialmedizin stellen häufig die Frage nach dem Bedingungszusammenhang von Krankheitsentstehung und gesellschaftlichen Verhältnissen. Neu an dieser empirischen Untersuchung ist, daß diese Problemstellung erstmalig auf die Krankheitsverteilung von Aids angewendet wird. Die Bremer Forschergruppe hat zu diesem Zweck mehrstündige biographische Interviews mit 111 homosexuellen Männern geführt. Die Resultate dieser wissenschaftlichen Studie sind brisant, ja dramatisch: In statistisch hochsignifikanter Art und Weise unters

Overview: Describes a framework to make information visualization systems easier to develop through the creation of a reference model.Develops and discusses the general utility of this Data State Model, and valFundamental solutions in understanding information have been elusive for a long time. The field of Artificial Intelligence has proposed the Turing Test as a way to test for the "smart" behaviors of computer programs that exhibit human-like qualities. Equivalent to the Turing Test for the field of Human­ Information Interaction (HII), getting information to the people that need them and h

Overview: In both the present volume of Advances in Nuclear Physics and in the next volume, which will follow in a few months‘ time, we have stretched our normal pattern of reviews by including articles of more major proportions than any we have published before. As a result we have only three review articles in Volume 5. From the beginning of this series it has been our aim, as editors, to achieve variation in the scope, style, and length of individual articles sufficient to match the needs of the individual topic, rather than to restrain authors within rigid limits. It has not been our exper
