Previous review papers on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) mainly focused on the application areas and paid scant attention to the framework development of AHP, TOPSIS and their hybrid methods. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), type of scale used in AHP, modified ...

Autonomous/self-driving vehicles have gained significant attention these days, as one of the intelligent transportation systems. However, those risks related to their physical implementation and security against cyber threats. Therefore, this study proposes a new security-by-design model for estimating uncertainty autonomous measuring risks; thus it assists decision-makers in addressing design ...

Abstract People have struggled with many infectious diseases throughout history. Today, the Covid-19 is being fought. One of most important things for people who or are at risk getting social isolation. Many countries resort to different ways ensure For this, remote patient monitoring systems been developed. In this study, problem selection discussed. Seven Wearable Health Technology (WHT) prod...

Application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as a Multicriterion Decision Making (MCDM) methodology is tested for Sri Ram Sagar Project, Andhra Pradesh, India to select the suitable irrigation planning alternative. Three different criterion functions of DEA, namely minimizing deviation variable D j (Min D j ), minimizing maximum deviation (Minmax), and minimizing the sum of deviations ∑ D j (...

Supplier selection is a multi-Criteria problem. This study proposes a hybrid model for supporting the suppliers’ selection and ranking. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the suppliers where each supplier has multiple Inputs and Outputs. First, the supplier evaluation problem is formulated by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), since the regarded decision deals with uncertai...

This paper applies a routing strategy based on Tarantula Mating Behavior as proposed by the authors, Bandyopadhyay and Bhattacharya [1], on a manufacturing network. The particular behavior which is of interest is that the female Tarantula spider sometimes eats the male Tarantula just after mating for satisfying immediate need for food or for genetic purpose. This interesting behavior has been s...

There are a number of decision making problems in which Geographical Information System (GIS) has employed to organize and facilitate the procedure of analyzing the problem. These GIS-based decision problems which typically include a number of different criteria and alternatives are generally analyzed by Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA).Different locations within a geographical area repre...

We accurately measured the conductance responsible for the afterhyperpolarization (medium AHP) that follows a single spike in spinal motoneurons of anesthetized cats. This was done by using the dynamic-clamp method. We injected an artificial current in the neurons that increased the AHP amplitude, and we made use of the fact that the intensity of the natural AHP current at the trough of the vol...

In this paper, we use experimental economics methods to test how well Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) fares as a choice support system in a real decision problem. AHP provides a ranking that we statistically compare with three additional rankings given by the subjects in the experiment: one at the beginning, one after providing AHP with the necessary pair-wise comparisons and one after learnin...

The ahp genes encoding the two proteins (F52a and C22) that make up an alkyl hydroperoxide reductase were mapped and cloned from Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. Two classes of oxidant-resistant ahp mutants which overexpress the two proteins were isolated. ahp-1 was isolated in a wild-type background and is dependent on oxyR, a positive regulator of defenses against oxidative stress...
