Weights of criteria are the important factors in decision-making. However, from a behavioral perspective, traditional weighting methods account for too few factors to deal with decisions properly. Based on the behavior mechanism and the theory of habitual domains, this study is undertaken to develop a new weight-assessing model that treats decisionmaking as a dynamically adjusting process proce...

Polymer-coated metal or metal oxide nanoparticles have a variety of uses in industry, biological research, and medicine. Characterization of nanoparticles often includes determination of the dimensions of the electron-dense core by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), with the weight of the core determined from core volume and core density. However, TEM is labor intensive, has a long turnaro...
