This paper presents two studies on narrow bracketing and myopic loss aversion. The first study shows that the tendency to segregate multiple gambles is eliminated if subjects face a certainty equivalent or a probability equivalent task instead of a binary choice. The second study argues that the behavioral differences previously attributed entirely to myopic loss aversion are partly because lon...

Many service systems exhibit service slowdowns when the system is congested. Our goal in this paper is to investigate this phenomenon and its effect on system performance. We modify the Erlang-A model to account for service slowdowns and carry out the performance analysis in the Quality-and-Efficiency Driven (QED) regime. We find that when the load sensitivity is low, the system can achieve QED...

Nowadays, service compositions are increasingly used to execute business processes. During the execution of a service composition, a service failure leads to a necessary re-planning. Due to such runtime events, the ex-post realized Quality of Service (QoS) values and thus the realized utility of an executed service composition may be significantly lower than the ex-ante computed one. The presen...

block-flexure is the most common mode of toppling failure in natural and excavated rock slopes. in such failure, some rock blocks break due to tensile stresses and some overturn under their own weights and then all of them topple together. in this paper, first, a brief review of previous studies on toppling failures is presented. then, the physical and mechanical properties of experimental mode...
