In four experiments we investigate overand underweighting of probabilities in decisions under risk. To account for this phenomenon we propose a view of the probability weighting function as a composite of cognitive and emotional processes and suggest that there is no single weighting function but two separate weighting functions for each process. Data obtained from a rating as well as three cho...

Nearly all tractor PTO arrangements used today consist of a rotating mechanical shaft with two or more universal joints. This arrangement continues to be an entanglement hazard. By driving the attachment with fluid power, this hazard could be eliminated. This project included the design, development, and testing of an experimental tractor based on a John Deere 4040. The entire power train was t...

We present the basic analytical and algebraic properties of triangular norms. We discuss continuity as well as the important classes of Archimedean, strict and nilpotent t-norms. Triangular conorms and De Morgan triples are also mentioned. Finally, a brief historical survey on triangular norms is given. Submitted for publication Johannes Kepler Universität Linz Fuzzy Logic Laboratorium Linz-Hag...
