In this paper we present experimental research examining the ability of individuals to make good retrospective evaluations of payment sequences. Inspired by the evidence on systematic biases in the retrospective evaluation of affective episodes involving pain and pleasure we designed choice...

According to the proposed National Mission on Biodiesel in India, we have undertaken studies on the oxidative stability of biodiesel synthesized from tree borne non-edible oil seeds jatropha. Neat jatropha biodiesel exhibited oxidation stability of 3.95 h and research was conducted to...

Biodiesel is relatively unstable on storage and European biodiesel standard EN-14214 calls for determining oxidation stability at 110 °C with a minimum induction time of 6 h by the Rancimat method (EN-14112). According to proposed National Mission on biodiesel in India, we have undertaken...

Biodiesels jatropha and pongamia synthesized from their respective non-edible seed oils, and PBD (palm biodiesel) synthesized from edible oil were blended with different weight ratios to examine the influence on the OS (oxidation stability). Dependence of the OS on esters of fatty acid...

F. J. Anscombe and R. J. Aumann (1963) showed that, if one accepts the existence of a physical randomizing device such as a roulette wheel, then L. J. Savage's derivation of subjective expected utility can be considerably simplified. They, however, invoked compound gambles to define their...
