The postal system plays a very important role for a nation in the fields of economic, cultural and social development, etc. Although revolutionary changes have already taken place in the realm of communication, the postal service is still indispensable. The postal distribution center is the key node in the postal logistics network system, and ensures that the postal logistics network functions well...
Two long-standing questions in neuroscience concern the mechanisms underlying our abilities to make decisions and to store goal-relevant information in memory for seconds at a time. Recent experimental and theoretical advances suggest that NMDA receptors at intrinsic cortical synapses play an important role in both these functions. The long NMDA time constant is suggested to support persistent mnemonic...
Flow shop production lines have been practiced for many years in manufacturing systems. Makespan is the total completion time of all the activities and is known as one of the most criteria in manufacturing systems. Minimizing this criteria causes more efficiently use of the resources specially machinery and manpower. By assigning some budget to some of the operations the operation time of these activities...
Redundancy and inconsistency are universal features of the turbine vibration fault diagnosis. If we can provide a solution to the problem, it should be very meaningful that the fault diagnosis data included redundant and inconsistent information could be used to decision-making rules of fault diagnosis. In this paper, the model was achieved through constructing a network of fault diagnosis decision-making,...
Humans have a drive to maximize knowledge of the world, yet decision making data also suggest a contrary drive to minimize cognitive effort using simplifying heuristics. The trade-off between maximizing knowledge and minimizing effort is modeled by simulation of a challenging decision task. The task is to choose which of two gambles has the highest probability of success when the alternative with...
