New learning method and the need for e-learning technology of the constructivist paradigm which consist the individual experience-centered learning experience, knowledge increased by escaping from the videos and flash-based simple one-side education contents.In this paper, the augmented reality English learning contents for the students to learn through the role and mission in the virtual space...

An informed advisor wishes to convey her valuable information to an uninformed decision maker with identical preferences. Thus she has a current incentive to truthfully reveal her information. But if the decision maker thinks that the advisor might be biased in favor of one decision and the advisor does not wish to be thought to be biased, the advisor has a reputational incentive to lie. If the...

In statistical decision theory involving a single maker, an information structure is said to be better than another one if for any cost function hidden state variable and ac...

The MPCS Plug Maker is a microcapillary-based protein-crystallization system for generating diffraction-ready crystals from nanovolumes of protein. Crystallization screening using the Plug Maker was used as a salvage pathway for proteins that failed to crystallize during the initial observation period using the traditional sitting-drop vapor-diffusion method. Furthermore, the CrystalCards used ...

This paper studies a decision maker who for each choice set selects a subset of (at most) two alternatives. We axiomatize three types of procedures: (i) The top two: the decision maker has in mind an ordering and chooses the two maximal alternatives. (ii) The two extremes: the decision maker has in mind an ordering and chooses the maximal and the minimal alternatives. (iii) The top and the top:...

Achieving the desired level of satisfaction for a decision-maker in any decision-making scenario is considered challenging endeavor because minor modifications process might lead to incorrect findings and inaccurate decisions. In order maximize decision-maker’s satisfaction, this paper proposes Single-valued Neutrosophic Geometric Programming model based on pentagonal fuzzy numbers. The typical...

We consider unbiased Maker-Breaker games played on the edge set of the complete graph Kn on n vertices. Quite a few such games were researched in the literature and are known to be Maker’s win. Here we are interested in estimating the minimum number of moves needed for Maker in order to win these games. We prove the following results, for sufficiently large n: (1) Maker can construct a Hamilton...

This paper offers an explanation for why policy makers stick to inefficient policy decisions. I argue that repealing a policy is a bad signal to voters about the policy maker’s competence if voters do not have complete knowledge about the effects of implemented policies. I derive the optimal policy maker’s decision on continuation of a policy, assuming that voters’ beliefs about the policy make...

This paper presents the new boundary condition implemented in the LNEC (Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil) SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) numerical model based on the SPHysics model and on a standard SPH formulation: This piston-type wave-maker now includes dynamic wave absorption and allows the simulation of a semi-infinite flume. Verification of the active wave-maker absorption ...

The exchange maker-taker pricing scheme affects incentives to take or make markets resulting in narrower bid-ask spreads. This study traces the effect of maker-taker pricing on stock quotations. The analyses consider distributions of quotation sizes, values implied from these sizes, and changes in these sizes and values. The results help inform the current debate on whether tick sizes should be...
