the rapid development of internet and electronic businesses have stimulated the banking sector towards encouraging customers to internet banking (ib), however, the evidence indicates a lack of interest in the use of ib services. therefore, this paper aims to identify affecting factors on customer adoption from ib and measure the influence of each factor on ib adoption. based on an explorative l...

in most of the multi–criteria decision–analysis (mcda) problems in which the choquet integral is used as aggregation function, the coefficients of choquet integral (capacity) are not known in advance. actually, they could be calculated by capacity definition methods. in these methods, the preference information of decision maker (dm) is used to constitute a possible solution space. the methods ...

making decision has become one of the most challenging responsibilities of managers in recent decades. finding the optimum solution for multiple criteria decision making problems is complicated. notably, multiplicity of decision making indices accompanied by variability in quantitative and qualitative measures aggregates the complexity of decisions. operations research (or) and multiple criteri...

A door-to-door survey of major neurological disorders was conducted in Lan Cang La Hu Zu autonomous county, Yunnan province of China. A total of 47,825 individuals was sampled at random from a well-defined population of 424,628, including two ethnic groups, La Gu (60%) and Han (40%). On the basis ofthe research protocol provided by the World Health Organization, we administered a symptom questi...

A piecewise linear equation is proposed as a method of analysis of mathematical models of neural networks. A symbolic representation of the dynamics in this equation is given as a directed graph on an N-dimensional hypercube. This provides a formal link with discrete neural networks such as the original Hopfield models. Analytic criteria are given to establish steady states and limit cycle osci...

In this paper,the exponential passivity criteria for BAM neural networks with time-varying delays is studied.By constructing new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and dividing the delay interval into multiple segments,a novel sufficient condition is established to guarantee the exponential stability of the considered system.Finally,a numerical example is provided to illustrate the usefulness of th...

This paper deals with fuzzy cellular neural networks (FCNNs) with leakage delays and proportional delays. Applying the differential inequality strategy, fixed point theorem and almost periodic function principle, some sufficient criteria which ensure the existence and global attractivity of a unique almost periodic solution for fuzzy cellular neuralnetworks with leakage delays and p...

in the last few years, public awareness has been on the increase about short- and long-term effects of forest roads construction on the environment. therefore, forest road managers have to be concerned about the negative impacts and mitigate them as much as possible. this research conducted multi-criteria analysis techniques in a useful way to define the effective criteria and propose a model f...
