This study develops a model for selecting Korean dramas based on TV station manager’s perceptions. First, the proposed model adopts the modified Delphi method to find out the suitable evaluative criteria of Korean dramas. Next, the model apply the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the relative weights of evaluative criteria, then ranks the alternatives and selects the best Korean dr...

This paper concerns with proposing a fuzzy logic based expert system to breakthrough the problem of alternatives evaluation in Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP as a multi criteria decision aid helped decision makers for analyzing and prioritizing the alternatives in a hierarchical structure. During times AHP encountered some problems. Hence, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and some...

The significance of collaboration among supply chain members has been sufficiently stressed in the recent literature as a powerful tool for increasing accuracy of demand forecasts and for consequent cost reductions. Since it has been recognized that naı̈ve forecasting is no longer cost efficient, Supply Chain (SC) members have found it very important to exchange relevant information that will he...

In SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination) assessments, the rating of a process attribute is determined by the aggregated achievements of associated MPs (management practices). Previous rating scale usability studies revealed that experienced assessors had difficulty distinguishing the boundaries between adjacent ratings: Fully and Largely, Largely and Partially, and P...

supplier evaluation and selection is important in supply chain management. this is a typical multiple criteria decision making that consists of both quantitative and qualitative factors. ahp is a proper approach to aid this decision making problem, because of its inherent capacity to handle qualitative and quantitative criteria, but when criteria are dependent this method is not so good. also t...

In order to effectively analyze, control, and prevent occupational health risk and ensure the reliability of the weight, a method based on FMEA (failure mode and effects analysis) and an improved AHP (analytic hierarchy process) model was established. The occupational disease of the occupational health and safety management system (OHSAS18001) of the mining industry in the southwest of Hubei Pr...

Kumar, Ashok and Thomas C. Foster. 17 -Estradiol benzoate decreases the AHP amplitude in CA1 pyramidal neurons. J Neurophysiol 88: 621–626, 2002; 10.1152/jn.00065.2002. Disruption of Ca homeostasis is hypothesized to mediate several electrophysiological markers of brain aging. Recent evidence indicates that estradiol can rapidly alter Ca -dependent processes in neurons through nongenomic mechan...

The advantages of using isolated cells have led us to develop short-term cultures of hippocampal pyramidal cells, which retain many of the properties of cells in acute preparations and in particular the ability to generate afterhyperpolarizations after a train of action potentials. Using perforated-patch recordings, both medium and slow afterhyperpolarization currents (mI(AHP) and sI(AHP), resp...

The Ca(2+)-dependent slow afterhyperpolarization (AHP) is an important determinant of neuronal excitability. Although it is established that modest changes in extracellular pH (pH(o)) modulate the slow AHP, the relative contributions of changes in the priming Ca(2+) signal and intracellular pH (pH(i)) to this effect remain poorly defined. To gain a better understanding of the modulation of the ...

Milk Campaign has played a key role in national strategy of prosperous and vigorous economy in one country, consequently, milk security will have a direct impact on sound mind and body of the nation. By means of accelerating the fuzzy AHP screening index of genetic algorithm and constructing evaluation index system of liquid milk packaging security, the study puts forward the information entrop...
