Recently, there has been much interest in measuring the environmental impact of short-to-medium-haul flights. Emissions CO2 are usually measured to consider footprint, and calculators available using different types approximations. We propose analytical models calculating gate-to-gate emissions travel time based on flight distance number seats. The accuracy numerical results were line with othe...

The patent is supposed to be a means to an end, that end being innovation. Whether the innovation comes from the protection the patent affords the inventor, or from the dissemination of the information of invention the patent allows, the patent is not meant to be an end in itself. This seems to be changing, the patent acquiring a strategic value increasingly independent of innovation. If this d...

This paper presents a new fuzzy group decision-making approach by using probabilities and ordered weighted averages (OWA). Thus, we are able to assess the problem considering probabilistic information and the attitudinal character of the decision maker. For doing so, the fuzzy generalized probabilistic OWA (FGPOWA) operator is presented. It is an aggregation operator that unifies the probabilit...

Current advances in tone research are rather uneven. The major obstacles to faster progress in the area are not in the lack of technological means, but in the mindset of our discipline. This paper discusses ways to improve tone research by considering a set of basic principles both in research methodology and in theoretical thinking.
