On conditional probabilities and their canonical extensions to Boolean algebras of compound conditionals
2023
In this paper we investigate canonical extensions of conditional probabilities to Boolean algebras of conditionals. Before entering into the probabilistic setting, we first prove that the lattice order relation of every Boolean algebra of conditionals can be characterized in terms of the well-known order relation given by Goodman and Nguyen. Then, as an interesting methodological tool, we show that canonical extensions behave well with respect to conditional subalgebras. As a consequence, we prove that a canonical extension and its original conditional probability agree on basic conditionals. Moreover, we verify that the probability of conjunctions and disjunctions of conditionals in a rece…
Assessing farming eco-efficiency: a Data Envelopment Analysis approach.
2010
This paper assesses farming eco-efficiency using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) techniques. Eco-efficiency scores at both farm and environmental pressure-specific levels are computed for a sample of Spanish farmers operating in the rain-fed agricultural system of Campos County. The determinants of eco-efficiency are then studied using truncated regression and bootstrapping techniques. We contribute to previous literature in this field of research by including information on slacks in the assessment of the potential environmental pressure reductions in a DEA framework. Our results reveal that farmers are quite eco-inefficient, with very few differences emerging among specific environmental …
Brand Extension: The Moderating Role of the Category to which the Extension Belongs to Be Added
2008
This article examines an evaluation of brand extension from a consumption perspective. In this perspective, the most relevant entity becomes the product, and the choice vector becomes the consumption context. In an experimental design applied to foodstuff, this article reports a study that manipulates the brand range. The study confirms the importance of the consumption context to evaluate brand extension. Also, the results show that the effects of the context fit and the typicality are more significant when the various products of the brand are sensitive to the consumption context. On the other hand, the effects of the association fit and typicality are also more significant when the produ…

Structural highs formation and their relationship to sedimentary basins in the north Sicily continental margin (southern Tyrrhenian Sea): implication…
2005
Two high-penetration seismic profiles across the continental margin of north Sicily (southern Tyrrhenian Sea) have been interpreted to construct a crustal section across the margin and to provide a three-dimensional perspective on the upper crustal setting of the Solunto High and its structural relationships with the adjacent Cefalù Basin. Crystalline rocks of the Kabilian-Calabrian Units (KCU) are recognized in the Solunto High region and farther to the north. The KCU body is tectonically superimposed onto sedimentary rocks pertaining to the Sicilian-Maghrebian Units (SMU) and the Solunto High corresponds to the thrust sheet culmination. Its occurrence in the Solunto High demonstrates that…
When a convergence of filters is measure-theoretic
2022
Abstract Convergence almost everywhere cannot be induced by a topology, and if measure is finite, it coincides with almost uniform convergence and is finer than convergence in measure, which is induced by a metrizable topology. Measures are assumed to be finite. It is proved that convergence in measure is the Urysohn modification of convergence almost everywhere, which is pseudotopological. Extensions of these convergences from sequences to arbitrary filters are discussed, and a concept of measure-theoretic convergence is introduced. A natural extension of convergence almost everywhere is neither measure-theoretic, nor finer than a natural extension of convergence in measure. A straightforw…
Conceptual Confusion is Not Always a Bad Thing – The Curious Case of European Radical Right Studies
2018
Over the course of many years, as a teacher, scholar, and friend, Ruth Zimmerling has impressed on me the importance of precisely defining one’s concepts. After all, if there is no agreement on the intension and extension of a concept, it is impossible “to assess the truth or falsity or, more generally, the correctness or incorrectness, of propositions, hypotheses or theories” (Zimmerling 2005: 15). The statement is almost self-evident: Without precisely defined concepts, the whole endeavour of science becomes pointless, and scholarly discourses are bound to turn into dialogues of the deaf.
Ray-Space-Based Multichannel Nonnegative Matrix Factorization for Audio Source Separation
2021
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been traditionally considered a promising approach for audio source separation. While standard NMF is only suited for single-channel mixtures, extensions to consider multi-channel data have been also proposed. Among the most popular alternatives, multichannel NMF (MNMF) and further derivations based on constrained spatial covariance models have been successfully employed to separate multi-microphone convolutive mixtures. This letter proposes a MNMF extension by considering a mixture model with Ray-Space-transformed signals, where magnitude data successfully encodes source locations as frequency-independent linear patterns. We show that the MNMF alg…

The Cultural Dimension of Spanish Universities: The state of the issue
2020
La dimensión cultural de la universidad española es una realidad histórica que ha ido evolucionando, especialmente desde la llegada de la democracia a España. Esta investigación plantea una reflexión terminológica y expone su evolución histórica en un análisis comparado con la situación mundial, además de establecer un diagnóstico del momento actual a partir de dos trabajos de campo complementarios que permiten concluir con los principales problemas y barreras de lo que hasta hace poco se consideraba el tercer principio de la universidad, después de la docencia y la investigación.
