We show how to recover Euler's formula for $\zeta(2n)$, as well as $L_{\chi_4}(2n+1)$, for any integer $n$, from the knowledge of the density of the product $\mathbb{C}_1,\mathbb{C}_2\ldots,\mathbb{C}_k$, for any $k\geq 1$, where the $\mathbb{C}_i$'s are independent standard Cauchy variables.

Some probabilistic aspects of the number variance statistic are investigated. Infinite systems of independent Brownian motions and symmetric alpha-stable processes are used to construct explicit new examples of processes which exhibit both divergent and saturating number variance behaviour. We derive…

We instillate rational cognition and learning in seemingly riskless choices and judgments. Preferences and possibilities are given in a stochastic sense and based on revisable expectations. the theory predicts experimental preference reversals and passes a sharp econometric test of the…

The paper investigates the pricing of derivative securities with calendar-time maturities.

In the presence of moral hazard, received agency theory predicts the Marshallian inefficiency of agricultural tenancy contracts, meaning that inputs per hectare on sharecropped land will differ from that on owned land. in this paper, we test for the presence…

In this article we study the effect of uncertainty on an entrepreneur who must choose the capacity of his business before knowing the demand for his product. The unit profit of operation is known with certainty but there is no…

BACKGROUND:Global health research is essential for development. A major issue is the inequitable distribution of research efforts and funds directed towards populations suffering the world's greatest health problems. This imbalance is fostering major attempts at redirecting research to the health…

This article explores the experiences of mid-career, older faculty mem- bers in higher education through a qualitative study of 20 associate pro- fessors (15 men and 5 women) between the ages of 41 and 59 at a Canadian university. The…

We present in this paper a symbol recognition system for the graphic documents. This one is based on a contextual approach for symbol structural recognition exploiting an Object-Process Methodology. It uses a processing library composed of structural recognition processings and…

Knowledge is transmitted through relationships. In journals, we can only see the "texts". But these texts are created by authors. When we read the texts, we are developing relationships with these authors. In Voices, there are several different genres. We've…
