Studies on mate preferences have demonstrated that women’s perception of male attractiveness is sensitive to men’s facial masculinity, and that women’s preferences for facial masculinity are subject to individual differences, such as own condition. These individual differences have been linked to potential tradeoffs that women face given the hypothesized benefits and costs that masculinity may ...

We study the problem of continuous object dissemination—given a large number of users and continuously arriving new objects, deliver an object to all users who prefer the object. Many real world applications analyze users’ preferences for effective object dissemination. For continuously arriving objects, timely finding users who prefer a new object is challenging. In this paper, we consider an ...

Characterization of solvent preferences of proteins is essential to the understanding of solvent effects on protein structure and stability. Although it is generally believed that solvent preferences at distinct loci of a protein surface may differ, quantitative characterization of local protein solvation has remained elusive. In this study, we show that local solvation preferences can be quant...

In this paper we summarize some results on constructing preference relations from criterion values, in the framework of multiple criteria decision making. First we recall two types of methods to build a comprehensive preference model. Then we show how to construct crisp and fuzzy preferences from criterion evaluations.

A selection of Computer Science, Informatics or similar study programs for academic studies evidently becomes an emerging choice a vast number students in recent years. To address some the open questions, we performed empirical based on survey, with goal to find out main motivating factors directing select computer science, informatics studying much greater extent. The survey was conducted samp...

This study was intended first to categorize the L2 learners in terms of their learning style preferences and second to investigate if their learning preferences are related to lexical inferencing. Moreover, strategies used for lexical inferencing and text related issues of text density and parts of speech were studied to determine their moderating effects and the best predictors of lexical infe...
