Revisiting consistency with random utility maximisation: theory and implications for practical work
Theory and Decision, 2018 While the paradigm of utility maximisation has formed the basis of the majority of applications in discrete choice modelling for over 40 years, its core assumptions have been questioned by work in both behavioural economics and mathematical psychology as

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The mycobacterial CIII‐CIV respiratory supercomplex is an obligate assembly, encompassing several subunits of unknown functions. We have characterized the intracellular subunit AscF, and show that it is unlikely to be a sensor for metals or nucleotides, but is required for growth on nonfermentable energy sources, and likely works as an adapter for ...

Risk Aversion and Expected-Utility Theory: A Calibration Theorem [PDF]
Within the expected-utility framework, the only explanation for risk aversion is that the utility function for wealth is concave: A person has lower marginal utility for additional wealth when she is wealthy than when she is poor.

Sequential decision making with adaptive utility [PDF]
, 2008 Decision making with adaptive utility provides a generalisation to classical Bayesian decision theory, allowing the creation of a normative theory for decision selection when preferences are initially uncertain.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Preferences for Shifts in Probabilities and Expected Utility Theory [PDF]
We translate preferences over lotteries into preferences over “shifts in probabilities”. We define the independence axiom for such preferences. Next we construct and expected utility function to represent the preferences and present the corresponding ...

A combined approach of nature-inspired Firefly Algorithm and Weighted Principal Component Analysis in machining of Inconel X-750 [PDF]
FME Transactions, 2020 Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is the primary unconventional machining process used for very hard conductive materials. Inconel-750 is used in various high-performance applications like aerospace, automobiles, etc.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cytarabine is a key therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), but its efficacy is limited by the dNTPase SAMHD1, which hydrolyses its active metabolite. Screening nucleotide biosynthesis inhibitors revealed that IMPDH inhibitors selectively sensitise SAMHD1‐proficient AML cells to cytarabine.

Resolving inconsistencies in utility measurement under risk: Tests of generalizations of expected utility [PDF]
This paper explores biases in the elicitation of utilities under risk and the contribution that generalizations of expected utility can make to the resolution of these biases.

On the (non) History of Preference Purification in Modern Economics
Review of the History of Economic Thought and MethodologyEconomists have typically viewed an individual's economic choices as being tightly linked to their preferences, and in turn, their preferences being tightly linked to the welfare associated with those choices.
