One of the most challenging questions surrounding subjective animal welfare is whether these states are measurable: that is, an appropriately quantifiable target for scientific enquiry and ethical deliberative calculation? The availability several different types measurement scale raises important regarding experience has right properties to be meaningfully represented on required applications....

The main result announced here is a negative solution of the Kakutani-Doob problem [3 ] on measurability of stochastic processes, assuming the continuum hypothesis. Thus the positive solution proposed earlier by M. Mahowald [ó] is incorrect (the last step in the argument applies the Fubini theorem to sets in a product space which need not be measurable). Complete proofs will appear in the Proce...

The paper provides a notion of measurability which is suited for a class of Multiple Prior Models. Those characterized by nonatomic countably additive priors. Preferences generating such representations have been recently axiomatized in [12]. A notable feature of our definition of measurability is that an event is measurable if and only if it is unambiguous in the sense of Ghirardato, Maccheron...

Solovay's random-real forcing ([1]) is the standard way of producing real-valued measurable cardinals. Following questions of Fremlin, by giving a new construction, we show that there are combinatorial, measure-theoretic properties of Solovay's model that do not follow from the existence of real-valued measurability.

Two studies examined the compensation hypothesis that members of both highand low-status groups associate high-status groups with high levels of competence and low levels of warmth on the one hand, and low-status groups with low levels of competence and high levels of warmth, on the other. Building upon existing linguistic relations between the French and the Belgians, Study 1 had standard, i.e...

We present a simple example where the use of σ-algebras as a model of information leads to a paradoxical conclusion: a decision maker prefers less information to more. We then explain that the problem arises because the use of σ-algebras as the informational content of a signal is inadequate. We provide a characterization of the different models of information in the literature in terms of Blac...

We show that Σ4–Amoeba–absoluteness implies that ∀a ∈ R (ω L[a] 1 < ω V 1 ), and hence Σ3–measurability. This answers a question of Haim Judah (private communication).

The cobalt glycyl-leucine dipeptide is a model system for studying the effects of Karplus equation calibration, molecular mechanics accuracy, backbone conformation, and thermal motions on the measurability of side chain rotational isomer populations. We analyze measurements of 8 vicinal coupling constants about the α to β-carbon and β to γ-carbon bonds of the leucine side chain and of 10 NOESY ...
