Repeated Financial Decisions: An Experimental Analysis

Book Description

This monograph reports the results of a large scale experimental study into the decision-making process, in particular into how repeated decisions on whether to buy or sell are made when trading stocks. It considers how the resources and the objectives of individuals influence their behaviour, the perception that success is the result of being active and aggressive in the market and how the decision-making process is often minimised by repeating the same basic decision. It also compares the evidence of the actual behaviour of individuals with financial theory.

Book Description

The hardy, multipurpose Dominique chickens that came to the New World with the Pilgrims and later traveled in pioneer saddlebags to help settle the West were once too numerous to count; by 1990 a mere 500 hens survived. This is but a single example of the diminishing diversity of farm animals: half of once-common livestock breeds are endangered, others are already extinct. The need to preserve farm animal diversity is increasingly urgent, says the author of this definitive book on endangered breeds of livestock and poultry. Farmyard animals may hold critical keys for our survival, Jan Dohner warns, and with each extinction, genetic traits of potentially vital importance to our agricultural future or to medical progress are forever lost. This comprehensive book features: complete information on the history, characteristics, qualities, and traits of 138 endangered livestock breeds (goats, sheep, swine, cattle, horses, other equines) and 53 poultry breeds (chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese); where these breeds may be seen today; the degree of rarity of each breed in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada; information on feral livestock populations; 160 color photographs and over 80 black and white photos and historical illustrations

Wondrous source book.......2005-09-15

An eyeopening look at the diversity of livestock we may lose if we're not careful. Looking for stock that has survived the test of time, but has been left behind in the handful of homogenized varieties beloved by big farming? This is the book for you! This book is a must have for recreation and historical groups throughout the states, and I firmly recommend it.

Full of interesting information!.......2003-05-11

Ms. Dohner has written a well-researched book on a topic that has begun to catch the attention of many -- historic (and now rare) breeds of livestock. In the past, people dug up roots and bulbs from the old family homestead and transplanted them to new locations. They could go to grandpa and get some of those "dominicker" chickens that his daddy started with.

For many, the homestead and the dominickers are gone now, just like the items the Smithsonian that were once part of every day life. But for some, like the author, "dominickers" and other historic livestock are still a part of life on the farm.

Perhaps that is why Jan Dohner has been able to write a very readable book, giving the reader the profiles and histories of over 200 breeds of poultry and other livestock (goats, sheep, swine, cattle, horses, other equines)and even accounts of their original domestication along with their current status. The illustrations only add to the text.

If you are interested in agriculture or farmsteading, if you have been thinking about becoming involved in small farm livestock, poultry raising, or rare breeds conservation, I recommend this book. Or if you are interested in these endeavors and cannot find the book in your local library, ask your librarian "Why not?" Maybe the local library needs a donation!

Book Description

The Sun as now studied is far removed from its early models that described a homogeneous spherical body: chemical fractionation as well as considerable fine-structure in and above the solar surface and internal mixing must now be taken into account. Accordingly, attention in composition studies has shifted from absolute solar abundances toward differences in the chemical (and isotopic) composition of the different parts of the Sun: in its interior, in the structures that make up its atmosphere, and in solar-wind and other, more energetic, particle streams. As was the case with the earlier photospheric composition studies, the investigation of abundance differences results in further clues and input for understanding, in particular, mass-transport, separation and heating mechanisms. This volume contains the reviews and contributions on these topics presented at an ISSI Workshop, and it summarises the resulting discussions in rapporteur papers. The book is intended to provide both active researchers and advanced graduate students with a comprehensive up-to-date `compte rendu' on solar composition.

Book Description

Extending the use of nitroxides as probes into more complex systems such as viable cells and whole animals requires greater knowledge of their interactions in functioning biological systems and appropriate model systems. Nitroxide Spin Labels: Reactions in Biology and Chemistry presents information essential for research in this area. Nitroxide research offers the promise of important new ways of measuring metabolism and will be useful in the diagnosis of important disease categories such as cancer, inflammation, and ischemia.

Book Description

This book presents a detailed account of one of the most mysterious problems in science — whether ordinary magnetic fields can exert an appreciable influence on chemical and biochemical reactions. The first aim of the book is to introduce this research, through theoretical and dynamic spin chemistry, to graduate students and researchers, by means of detailed theoretical and experimental descriptions. The second aim is to review typical recent investigations, which will stimulate new interest and applications in the 21st century. Because dynamic spin chemistry is based on established science, it is expected to provide a guide for all situations in which radicals, radical pairs, and higher spin species occur, including the effects of environmental electromagnetic fields on the human body.

Book Description

This book covers the life of the author for about two years from the time he was first selected by the draft in 1966-1967 during his junior year in college. It chronicles the following twenty-one months of his military life. Beginning with Basic Training and continuing through to his return to civilian life in 1969. In particular, this story covers his routine and not so routine days in 1968 Vietnam. These include his memories of being the "New Guy" Private without a clue to nine months later becoming the Sergeant in charge of his section. It also covers the remainder of his brief military career at Ft. Carson Colorado and his return to college life as a 24 year old veteran in 1969.

Written from the Heart.......2004-04-15

This is a must read for all Vietnam veterans. The author captures the day to day activities of Vietnam in a very real human way. Don't look for heavy battles or bitter fighting because it isn't in this book. What is in this book is a very accurate description of the often tedious life of a soldier caught in strange land in a frustrating war. At the end of this book you feel like you know the author and you've found a new friend.

Book Description

Any one of us is vulnerable to illness. Grace Casselman was in the midst of a full life as a successful journalist and a young mother when disease hit—Lupus, including serious muscle inflammation and weakness. Within months, she was hospitalized and essentially a quadriplegic, unable to stand up, roll over, or even reach her hand to her mouth to feed herself. Reduced to utter helplessness and dependency, everything was stripped away. All she could cling to was her faith in God. Through His mercy, combined with serious medical intervention and rehabilitation, she was able to return to her family, career, and life. This is her story: her losses, despair, soul-searching, and triumphs. Along with that journey, she also offers counsel and comfort for those dealing with serious chronic illness, plus meaningful advice for their families and friends.
