Background This paper presents the results of three studies allowing design and initial validation Daily Goal Realization Scale (DGRS). realization refers to engagement in goal-directed behavior that leads progress personal goal attain-ment; it is considered one adaptive characteristics. Participants procedure Three studies, including an study develop select items (Study 1), intensive longitudi...

Abstract Does financing respond to changes in productive opportunities, even for the world’s poor? We answer this question by examining response of private bank an infrastructure program that brought road access unconnected Indian villages. This prioritized roads villages above specific population thresholds, allowing us exploit resultant discontinuities identification. Using detailed data from...

Defuzzification is the process of converting a fuzzy quantity to precise quantity, just as fuzzification is the conversion of a precise quantity to a fuzzy quantity. Various types of defuzzification methods, are available for conversion of fuzzy to non-fuzzy. In this paper, defuzzification functions in intuitionistic fuzzy environment such as triangular, trapezoidal, L-trapezoidal, R-trapezoida...

The product ion of crude palm oil and palm kernel is a complex problem due to the inf luence of processing variables and environmental factors. These processing variables inf luence the amount of crude palm oil and palm kernel losses during processing. Instead of mathematical model, fuzzy logic approach provides a simpler and easier mechanism to describe the relat ionships between the processin...

In this paper, a new hybrid fuzzy multiple criteria group decision making (FMCGDM) approach has been proposed for sustainable project selection. First, a comprehensive framework, including economic, social, and environmental effects of an investment, strategic alliance, organizational readiness, and risk of investment has been proposed for sustainable project selection. As the relative importan...

This paper investigates and compares performance of various conventional and fuzzy logic based controllers at generator locations for oscillation damping. Performance of combination of conventional and fuzzy logic based controllers also studied by comparing overshoot on the active power deviation response for a small disturbance and damping ratio of the critical mode. Fuzzy logic based controll...

Professional translators of technical documents often use Translation Memory (TM) systems in order to capitalize on the repetitions frequently observed in these documents. TM systems typically exploit not only complete matches between the source sentence to be translated and some previously translated sentence, but also so-called fuzzy matches, where the source sentence has some substantial com...

Supplier selection is usually involved a multi-criteria evaluation to assist decision-making. This study proposed a simple method for vendor selection. The proposed procedure utilizes the structure of criteria in analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model and employs consistent fuzzy preference relations (CFPR) to construct the decision matrices. The advantage of CFPR is computational simplicity an...
