Time Preference, Time Discounting, and Smoking Decisions [PDF]
This study examines the relationship between time discounting, other sources of time preference, and intertemporal choices about smoking. Using a survey fielded for our analysis, we elicit rates of time discount from choices in financial and health ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Conventional continuous plants use fixed‐capacity equipment, resulting in high capital risk and suboptimal performance under fluctuating demands. To address these, this study proposes an integrated framework for modular process design and supervisory control capable of adapting to demand uncertainty for long‐term economic viability.

Overcoming the Nyquist Limit in Molecular Hyperspectral Imaging by Reinforcement Learning
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Explorative spectral acquisition guide automatically selects informative spectral bands to optimize downstream tasks, outperforming full‐spectrum acquisition. The selected hyperspectral data are used for tasks such as unmixing and segmentation. BandOptiNet encodes selection states and outputs optimal bands to guide spectral acquisition. Recent advances

A Deeper Look at Hyperbolic Discounting [PDF]
We conduct an experiment to investigate the degree to which deviations from exponential discounting can be accounted for by the hypothesis of hyperbolic discounting. Subjects are asked to choose between an earlier or later payoff in a series of 40 choice

A Magnitude Effect in Temporal discounting with Hens [PDF]
, 2014 This study aimed to determine whether a magnitude effect could be obtained in temporal discounting with brown shaver hens. Subjects responded in a classic self-control situation for the choice between a smaller-sooner reward (1-s access to food, after a ...
