Forthcoming wireless environment is a fusion of numerous networks with diverse technologies deployed by individual operators. In such an environment, innovative network selection methodologies are required not only to provide “always best connected” service to mobile users but also to maximize network operator’s revenue. To fulfill such requirements, multiple attributes from each network are to...

Type-II fuzzy sets are used to convey the uncertainties in the membership function of type-I fuzzy sets. Linguistic information in expert rules does not give any information about the geometry of the membership functions. These membership functions are mostly constructed through numerical data or range of classes. But there exists an uncertainty about the shape of the membership, that is, wheth...

This paper analyses two hypotheses that considers a correlation between the number of alternatives and criteria considered in multiple decision-making (MCDM) problem with minimum percentage change required lowest criterion weight to outcome method. Two MCDM methods are considered, analytical hierarchy process (AHP) preference ranking organisation method for enrichment evaluations II (PROMETHEE ...

India has ambitious goals to increase renewable energy penetration, and significant progress been made since 2017. However, the Indian mix is highly dominated by fossil fuels. To set on pathway of transition, a comprehensive analysis complex factors influencing sector required. This study put forward delineate current transition scenario in direct towards prospective for accomplishing smooth tr...

Type – II fuzzy number is introduced in decision making analysis as a concept that is capable to effectively deal with uncertainty in the information about a decision. As type – II fuzzy number is represented by possibility distribution, it is hard to determine which type – II fuzzy number is greater than the other. In this paper, a new methodology for ranking type – II fuzzy number is proposed...

Compared to cargo terminals, performance evaluation of cruise terminals sits in a backseat the current port studies, particularly Northeast Asia. This paper aims evaluate major Asia, taking into account important dimensions and criteria influencing terminal development, using primary data by experts' responses questionnaire survey. Complementary are also acquired field trips interviews find hid...

Physical and chemical properties of biodiesel are influenced by structural features of the fatty acids, such as chain length, degree of unsaturation and branching of the carbon chain. This study investigated if microalgal fatty acid profiles are suitable for biodiesel characterization and species selection through Preference Ranking Organisation Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) and ...
