Scientific research provides evidence to show that a specific area of the human brain, known as the prefrontal cortex, continues to develop much longer than other brain regions. This area is involved in a number of complex functions and actions, including our decision-making abilities. As the areas involved in making decisions do not reach full maturity until early adulthood and undergo major s...

implementation of the risk management concepts into construction practice may enhance the performance of project by taking appropriate response actions against identified risks. this research proposes a multi-criteria group decision making approach for the evaluation of different alternative response scenarios. to take into account the uncertainties inherent in evaluation process, fuzzy logic i...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an appropriate tool for estimating various types of efficiency including Cost Efficiency (CE). Identifying and identifying inefficiency resources plays an important role in analyzing unit performance in order to plan for improving the status of Decision Making Units (DMUs). Now , if information on the inputs and outputs and pricing information of the evaluated...

Recent neurophysiological studies in macaques identified a network of brain regions related to vibrotactile working memory (WM), including somatosensory, motor, premotor, and prefrontal cortex. In these studies, monkeys decided which of two vibrotactile stimuli that were sequentially applied to their fingertips and separated by a short delay had the higher vibration frequency. Using the same ta...
