Emotional information is often remembered better than neutral information, but this enhancement can come at the cost of memory for non-emotional stimuli presented alongside emotionally salient items. Two encoding-related factors have been proposed to influence the magnitude of this trade-off: The intensity of the affective response to the scenes (which increases the trade-off) and the cognitive...

The time, quality, and cost are three important but contradictive objectives in a building construction project. It is a tough challenge for project managers to optimize them since they are different parameters. This paper presents a time-cost-quality optimization model that enables managers to optimize multiobjectives. The model is from the project breakdown structure method where task resourc...

This paper examines the empirical validity of a model of homogeneous input demand under price uncertainty in which firms trade off expected input cost against its variability (risk) in selecting the optimal input supplier mix. Using recent work in time-series econometrics, this model is applied to the Japanese steam-coal import market, where five suppliers compete: China, the Soviet Union, Sout...

It is well-known that there exists a trade-off between crypto-period and affected risk, so the key derivation is not only constrained by the partial-order class relation but also by the time period while handling hierarchical key assignment in dynamic enterprises. In this paper, a new date-constraint hierarchical key assignment scheme, which does not make use of public key cryptosystem, is prop...

The main objective in the time cost trade-off problems has always been the reduction in the total cost. In the previous researches the total cost function has been defined 3 * corresponding author e-Mail: [email protected]

We conducted three empirical studies of the effects of friend recommendations and general ratings on how online users make choices. We model and quantify how a user deciding between two choices trades off an additional rating star with an additional friend’s recommendation when selecting an item. We find that negative opinions from friends are more influential than positive opinions, and people...

determination of trade-off, which they are feasible and similar variations on all of decision making units (dmu), is important issue in data envelopment analysis (dea). in this paper, we select these trade-offs based on an external evaluation of dmus such that the correlation between external evaluation and technical evaluation resulted from dea model is maximized. in fact, we sift the trade-of...

This paper compares assets-based portfolio management fees to profits-based fees. Whilst both forms of compensation can provide appropriate risk incentives, fund managers ́ limited liability induces more excess risk-taking under a profits-based fee contract. On the other hand, an assets-based fee is more costly to investors. In Spain, where the law explicitly permits both forms of retribution, a...

This study seeks to the answer the question of how an individual would trade off between listing fee (i.e., cost of listing an auction item) and transaction probability (i.e., the chance that a product will be sold). Applying the trade-off decision-making paradigm into the auction context, we examine a seller’s choice of online auction outlet and subsequent starting price strategies when facing...

We study two-player games with counters, where the objective of the first player is that the counter values remain bounded. We investigate the existence of a trade-off between the size of the memory and the bound achieved on the counters, which has been conjectured by Colcombet and Loeding. We show that unfortunately this conjecture does not hold: there is no trade-off between bounds and memory...
