Outcome editing refers to a set of mental rules that people apply when deciding whether evaluate multiple outcomes jointly or separately, which subsequently affects choice. In large-scale online survey (n = 2062) we investigate individuals use the same outcome for financial (e.g., lottery win) and social party with friends). We also test role numeric ability in explaining editing. Our results s...

Fuzzy control is one of the most important parts of fuzzy theory for which several approaches exist. Mamdani uses $alpha$-cuts and builds the union of the membership functions which is called the aggregated consequence function. The resulting function is the starting point of the defuzzification process. In this article, we define a more natural way to calculate the aggregated consequence funct...

implementation of monetary policies and adjustments in liquidity are the most important tools of the central bank of iran used in structural reforms in the banking industry. this policy influences the efficiency of the monetary policy through its impact on bank credit channels. in this study we used dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models as one of the most innovative approaches to moneta...

Using an identity for effective resistances, we find a relationship between the arithmetic-geometric index and the global ciclicity index. Also, with the help of majorization, we find tight upper and lower bounds for the arithmetic-geometric index.

The concept of geometric-arithmetic indices (GA) was put forward in chemical graph theory very recently. In spite of this, several works have already appeared dealing with these indices. In this paper we present lower and upper bounds on the second geometric-arithmetic index (GA2) and characterize the extremal graphs. Moreover, we establish Nordhaus-Gaddum-type results for GA2.

It is ecologically adaptive that the amount of effort invested to achieve a reward increases the relevance of the resulting outcome. Here, we investigated the effect of effort on activity in reward and loss processing brain areas by using functional magnetic resonance imaging. In total, 28 subjects were endowed with monetary rewards of randomly varying magnitude after performing arithmetic calc...
