The objectives of the study are: (1) to analyze the impact of urban sprawl on farmland conversion by using landsat data, (2) to analyze the impact of land conversion on food supply and food security, (3) to understand the prospect of farming activities in the fringe area of Yogyakarta, and (4) to find implication of urban sprawl towards sustainability of Yogyakarta city. The study shows that ur...

We summarize the state of the art of the “close approximation” to black hole collisions. We discuss results to first and second order in perturbation theory for head-on collisions of momentarily-stationary and non-stationary black holes and discuss the near-future prospect of nonaxisymmetric collisions.

The expressions for the R̂–matrices for the quantum groups SOq2(5) and SOq(6) in terms of the R̂–matrices for Spq(2) and SLq(4) are found, and the local isomorphisms of the corresponding quantum groups are established.

Four experiments are presented that explore situations in which a decision maker has to rely on personal experience in an attempt to minimize delays. Experiment 1 shows that risk-attitude in these timesaving decisions is similar to risk-attitude in money-related decisions from experience: A risky prospect is more attractive than a safer prospect with the same expected value only when it leads t...

Over the past few decades, economists and psychologists have accumulated a large body of experimental evidence on attitudes to risk. This evidence reveals that, when people make decisions under risk, they often depart from the predictions of expected utility. In an effort to capture the experimental data more accurately, researchers have developed a number of so-called nonexpected utility model...

BACKGROUND Prospect theory suggests that when faced with an uncertain outcome, people display loss aversion by preferring to risk a greater loss rather than incurring certain, lesser cost. Providing probability information improves decision making towards the economically optimal choice in these situations. Clinicians frequently make decisions when the outcome is uncertain, and loss aversion ma...
