electronic  waste  or  e-waste  is  relatively  a  novel  addition  to  the  ever-growing  hazardous waste stream. it includes discarded electronic and electrical equipment. developing countries face enormous challenges which are related to the generation and management of e-waste which are either internally generated or imported illegally; india is no exception. however, the existing managemen...

this paper processes a combined method, based on vikor and data envelopment analysis (dea) to select the units with most efficiency. we utilize the vikor as compromise solution method. this research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the alternatives, where each alternative has multiple inputs and outputs. the problem involves belief parameters in the solution procedure. first, the alt...

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 ...

For some well-known games, such as the Traveler’s Dilemma or the Centipede Game, traditional gametheoretic solution concepts—most notably Nash equilibrium—predict outcomes that are not consistent with empirical observations. We introduce a new solution concept, iterated regret minimization, which exhibits the same qualitative behavior as that observed in experiments in many games of interest, i...

These studies investigated the effects of reversal and nonreversal shifts before solution upon performance in a later concept identification task. In 2 experiments, a reversal or a nonreversal shift after an error on a critical trial had no interfering effect upon subsequent learning. The reversal and nonreversal groups made about the same number of errors and required as many trials to learn a...

A concept for the solution of problems at the digital processor has been developed, which is based on a four level approach of attacking a problem. It concerns the abstract, concrete, active and heuristic level of problem solution. Dialectic pairs of notions have to be defined, in order to specify separation and connection relations at each level and from level to level. The precise reference s...
