Abstract: At present six million people are suffering from clinical depression or anxiety disorders, but only a quarter of them are in treatment. NICE Guidelines prescribe the offer of evidence-based psychological therapy, but they are not implemented, due to lack of therapists within the NHS. We therefore estimate the economic costs and benefits of providing psychological therapy to people not now in treatment. The cost to the governement would be fully covered by the savings in incapacity benefits and extra taxes that result from more people being able to work. On our estimates, the cost could be recovered within two years - and certainly within five. And the benefits to the whole economy are greater still. This is not because we expect the extra therapy to be targeted especially at people with problems about work. It is because the cost of the therapy is so small (£750 in total), the recovery rates are so high (50 per cent) and the cost of a person on IB is so large (£750 per month ). These findings strongly reinforce the humanitatian case for implementing the NICE Guidelines. Current proposals for doing this would require some 8,000 extra psychological therapists withing the NHS over the six years.

Abstract: A new algorithm for the construction of physical maps from hybridization fingerprints of short oligonucleotide probes has been developed. Extensive simulations in high-noise scenarios show that the algorithm produces an essentially completely correct map in over 95% of trials. Tests for the influence of specific experimental parameters demonstrate that the algorithm is robust to both false positive and false negative experimental errors. The algorithm was also tested in simulations using real DNA sequences of C. elegans, E. coli, S. cerevisiae, and H. sapiens. To overcome the non-randomness of probe frequencies in these sequences, probes were preselected based on sequence statistics and a screening process of the hybridization data was developed. With these modifications, the algorithm produced very encouraging results.

Abstract: The revealed preference methodology allows an observer to infer preferences from choices. This paper extends this fundamental idea by experimentally identifying the preference for basing choices on simple decision rules. Subjects not only make case-by-case portfolio allocations but also design a simple investment rule for selecting portfolios. They then choose between these two decision modes for an additional set of problems. The majority opt for the rule interface, and in most cases, choose a simple investment rule that cannot be rationalized by any simple utility function or accounted for by reductions in decision time or by cognitive costs.
