Economic theories of team reasoning build on the assumption that agents can sometimes behave according to beliefs or preferences attributed to a group or a team. In this paper, I propose a different framework to introduce collective intentionality into game theory. I build on John Searle’s account, which makes collective intentionality constitutive of institutional facts. I show that as soon as...

This paper proposes a methodology for the assessment of sustainability among three different structural design alternatives single-family home. The response associated with each alternative has been measured using 43 indicators considering all stages life cycle. A decision-making model is carried out on basis neutrosophic group analytical hierarchy process (NAHP-G) capturing maximum information...

The Morisita index is widely used to evaluate the spatial distribution patterns of species in a native forest. Thus, by analysing the spatial behaviour of individuals in some special cases, this study obtained and then discussed the critical values for the application of the Morisita index. In the aggregate classification, importance was given to the way the equation was used and on the meaning...

Fuzzy memberships can be understood as coverage functions of random sets. This interpretation makes sense in the context of fuzzy rule learning: a random sets-based semantic of the linguistic labels is compatible with the use of fuzzy statistics for obtaining knowledge bases from data. In particular, in this paper we formulate the learning of a fuzzy rule based classifier as a problem of statis...

A controlled reading experiment reveals that stress-based linguistic rhythm impinges on syntactic ambiguity resolution in silent and oral reading. The results suggest that, at points of syntactic underspecification, the accruing prosodic representation may affect even the earliest stages of structure building, viz. the analysis of syntactic features of an ambiguous word. Such an effect remains ...

The purpose of this work is to propose a new methodology to ameliorate the Markov Cluster (MCL) Algorithm that is well known as an efficient way of graph clustering (Van Dongen, 2000). The MCL when applied to a graph of word associations has the effect of producing concept areas in which words are grouped into the similar topics or similar meanings as paradigms. However, since a word is determi...

The technological innovation evolution is a selforganization process. There are complex characteristics in technological innovation system. From the perspective of system theory this paper illuminated the self-organization characteristics of technological innovation system and analyzes the self-organization mechanisms of the innovation process and characteristics of openness, dynamic, nonlinear...

The paper addresses feedback control of actuated prostheses based on the Stewart platform parallel mechanism. In such a problem it is essential to apply a feasible numerical method to determine in real time the solution of the forward kinematics, which is highly nonlinear and characterized by analytical indetermination. In this paper, the forward kinematics problem for a human elbow hydraulic p...

Although many measures of similarity between intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) have been proposed in the literature, some existing similarity measures are not always effective in some cases. A main reason is that existing similarity measures have not or little considered degree of hesitancy in intuitionistic fuzzy set. In this paper, based on this foundation that the degree of hesitancy in intuiti...

Abstract The notion of politicization has been often assimilated to that partisanship, especially in political and social sciences. However, these accounts underestimate more fine-grained, yet pivotal, aspects at stake processes politicization. In addition, they overlook cognitive mechanisms underlying politicizing practices. Here, we propose an integrated approach relying on recent insights fr...
