A consensus has emerged in the United Kingdom that a transition away from use of lead ammunition for hunting game animals would be desirable to reduce harm causes wildlife and market healthy meat products. Voluntary methods achieve this are preferred by hunters' organisations UK Government, though statutory regulation is also being considered. include provision advice hunters their non-governme...

In this article, we propose an approach to improve quality in crowdsourcing (CS) tasks using Task Completion Time (TCT) as a source of information about the reliability workers game-theoretical competitive scenario. Our is based on hypothesis that some are more risk-inclined and tend gamble with their use time when put compete other workers. This supported by our previous simulation study. We t...

Cyber-physical systems’ security and safety assurance is a challenging research problem for Smart City concept development. Technical faults or malicious attacks over communication between its elements can jeopardize the whole system users. Reputation systems implementation an effective measure to detect such agents. Each agent in group has indicator, which reflects how trustworthy it other How...

The purpose of assurance activities is to reduce risk, thereby ensuring requirements. However, assurance activities incur costs such as budget, schedule, mass ( e g , radiation shielding), etc. The selection of assurance activities to perform is thus an assurance optimization problem. For example, for a given budget, selection of the set of assurance activities that will minimize risk (i.e., ma...

User research in digital game development has in recent years begun to expand from a previous existence on the sideline of development, to a central factor in game production, in recognition that the interaction between user and game is crucial to the perceived user experience. Paralleling this development, the methods and tools available for conducting user research in the industry and academi...

in this paper, a novel hybrid model based on neural network and game theory is proposed to support the analyzers in oil market. in this model, first the neural network is utilized to learn the oil prices associated with opec production level and usa imports level. then the learned neural network is applied by a game model. finally the nash equilibrium points of the game present the optimum deci...

In this paper, we deal with games with fuzzy payoffs. We proved that players who are playing a zero-sum game with fuzzy payoffs against Nature are able to increase their joint payoff, and hence their individual payoffs by cooperating. It is shown that, a cooperative game with the fuzzy characteristic function can be constructed via the optimal game values of the zero-sum games with fuzzy payoff...

objective: to classify different types of acute leukemia based on cooperative game theory and shapley value. materials and methods: in this study, patients data were collected from flow cytometry tests of the iran blood transfusion organization (ibto) have been used. 304 different diagnosed samples in 8 classes of acute leukemia were investigated. samples were initially in numerical format. i...
