In stereotype-based recommendation systems, user profiles are represented as an affinity vector of stereotypes. Upon the registration of new users, the system needs to assign the new users to existing stereotypes. The AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) methodology can be used for initial elicitation of user preferences. However, using the AHP procedure as-is will require the user to respond to a ...

Modulation of afterhyperpolarization (AHP) represents an important mechanism by which excitability of a neuron can be regulated. In the leech brain, sensitization enhances excitability of the S-cell, an interneuron thought to play an important role in this form of nonassociative learning. This increase in excitability is serotonin (5-HT) dependent, but it is not known whether changes in AHP con...

Abstract Crop suitability analysis using novel models is a pillar for sustainable land-use planning. In this work, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was integrated with GIS to produce maps wheat and maize under sprinkler irrigation broad bean drip irrigation. The study conducted in an arid area, west Nile Delta of Egypt. characteristics local climate, landscape, groundwater quality were ma...

in the course of the present study, the results of parametric approach are compared with those obtained through fuzzy approach using ahp as well as multivariate regression methods for comparisons and investigating the efficiency of the fuzzy method as applied in land suitability assessments. the correlation coefficients between land index and observed yield in the study area through fuzzy appro...

Resource Provisioning in a Cloud Computing Environment ensures flexible and dynamic access of the cloud resources to the end users. The Multi-Objective Decision Making approach considers assigning priorities to the decision alternatives in the environment. Each alternative represents a cloud resource defined in terms of various characteristics termed as decision criteria. The provisioning objec...

Abstract—It is well known that the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) of Saaty is one of the most powerful approach for decision aid in solving of a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Several computing weights methods in AHP are analyzed. Based on least square method, three methods for calculating weights using the least the sum of squares of error criterion, the least the sum of erro...
