The present experiment examined the effects of input/output modality pairings on dual-task performance using the psychological refractory period (PRP) procedure. Four groups of participants performed two tasks composed of the same sets of inputs (visual and auditory) and the same sets of outputs (manual and vocal), but with different input/output modality pairings. Whereas modality pairings had...

The sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems is important for two reasons: First, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. Second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...

We derive cooling rate and coefficient of performance as well their variances for a quantum Otto engine proceeding in finite-time cycle period. This machine consists two driven strokes, where the system isolated from heat reservoir undergoes unitary transformation, isochoric steps, system-bath interaction durations take away equilibrium even at respective ends stages. explicitly calculate stati...
