Cardinality estimation schemes of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags using Framed Slotted ALOHA (FSA) based protocol are studied in this paper. Not as same as previous estimation schemes, we consider tag cardinality estimation problem under not only detection errors but also capture effect, where a tag’s IDentity (ID) might not be detected even in a singleton slot, while it might be ide...

We conduct an experiment based on the Stochastic Dominance framework in order to investigate riskaversion in isolation of other effects such as subjective probability distortion, the ‘certainty effect’, and ‘framing’ effects. The result is striking: most individuals are not risk-averse.  2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

I consider decision makers who experience framing effects facing different choice problems, such that the resulting random choice is incompatible with a single random utility model. I study conditions under which these framing effects could be exhibited by a population of expected utility maximizing (“Bayesian”) agents uncertain about their own tastes. The model assumes that framing of a choice...

The aim of this paper is the mapping of the discursive transitions in school science from the primary to the secondary level as reflected in the corresponding textbooks. Our basic hypothesis is that the pedagogic discourse is constructed by the interplay of three basic dimensions, namely classification, formality and framing which correspond to the content specialization, the codes’ elaboration...

Since Mathematics really is about what mathematicians do, in this paper, we will look at the mathematical practice of framing , in which an object of interest is viewed in terms of well-understood mathematical structures. The new perspective not only allows to deepen the understanding of a resp. object, it also facilitates new insights. We propose a model for framing in the context of theory gr...

striking disparities in access to healthcare and in health outcomes are major characteristics of health across the globe. this inequitable state of global health and how it could be improved has become a highly popularized field of academic study. in a series of articles in this journal the roles of power and politics in global health have been addressed in considerable detail. three points are...

This study examined the neural basis of framing effects using life-death decision problems framed either positively in terms of lives saved or negatively in terms of lives lost in large group and small group contexts. Using functional MRI we found differential brain activations to the verbal and social cues embedded in the choice problems. In large group contexts, framing effects were significa...

Science reporting in the media often involves contested issues, such as, e.g., biotechnology, climate change, and more recently, geoengineering. The reporter’s framing of the issue is likely to influence readers’ perception of it. The notion of framing is related to how individuals and groups perceive and communicate about the world. Framing is typically studied by means of content analysis, fo...

The ‘moral circle’ is the boundary drawn around those entities in the world deemed worthy of moral consideration. Three studies demonstrate that the size of the moral circle is influenced by a decision framing effect: the incl...
