We propose a new discrete choice model that generalizes the random utility model (RUM). We show that this model, called the Generalized Stochastic Preference (GSP) model can explain several choice phenomena that can’t be represented by a RUM. In particular, the model can easily (and also exactly) replicate some well known examples that are not RUM, as well as controlled choice experiments carri...

Acid and metalliferous drainage (AMD) occurs when sulphidic minerals, such as arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrite, are exposed to oxygen and water. Climate, geology and mine site practices can have a significant impact on AMD composition. The elemental composition of the AMD can also affect the bacterial community. Our hypothesis was that in the dry season the AMD at two mine sites, Rum Jungl...

given every hour, and an injection of castor oil, turpentine, and warm water was administered by means of the long tube after the manner of O'Beirne. Only the liquid injected came away without a particle of faecal matter. 7 o'clock p.m.?Continue rum and fomentations, and give strychnia Tg-th of a grain. 10 o'clock pm.?lias just had three copious stools; continue rum two drachms every six hours,...

Spectrophotometric measurement applied on saturated granular activated carbon (GAC) is not yet explored. A colorimetric method in the visible range has been developed in order to determine the exhaustion level of GAC used in rum production. Aqueous ammonia solution has been used as an indicative agent to determine the extraction rate of taste compounds within the rum production process and the ...

Rum is a sugar cane spirit obtained by the distillation of molasses through yeast fermentation and subsequent aging in wooden barrels, where the spirit acquires its special flavor and aroma. Packed bed schemes were applied to the accelerated aging of rum samples. These involved maturation in contact with natural, toasted or chemically treated oak wood chips for 90 d and four secondary treatment...

The concepts of unitary evolution matrices and associative memory have boosted the field of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) to state-of-the-art performance in a variety of sequential tasks. However, RNN still have a limited capacity to manipulate long-term memory. To bypass this weakness the most successful applications of RNN use external techniques such as attention mechanisms. In this paper ...

Background: X-ray methods have proven to be reliable, accurate and sensitive techniques to study activated carbons in order to define its porous structure and functionality groups. Methods: For the first time, the characterization of the exhaustion level of granular activated carbon (GAC) used in rum production applying methods based on X-ray technology has been explored. In this work, the exha...

Theoretical and practical problems arise when Random Utility Models (RUM) of spatial choice developed for recreational fisheries are applied to model spatial closures in ocean commercial fisheries for creating marine protected areas. The RUM clearly has important advantages. To be consistent with RUM and also be relevant to actual closure decisions for open-ocean fisheries, models of habitat-dr...
