The technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is a method based on the ideal solutions in which the most desirable alternative should have the shortest distance from positive ideal solution and the longest distance from negative ideal solution. Depending on type of evaluations or method of ranking, different approaches have been proposing to calculate distances ...

The separated electromagnetic responses RL(q, ω) and RT (q, ω) for inclusive electron scattering off nuclei are studied within a functional scheme.

In this paper a novel adaptive bandwidth allocation scheme called Prudent Creditization Polling (PCP) is proposed and adapted with the reservation protocol IPACT. PCP attempts to reduce the average queue length at the ONUs and the average packet delay throughout the network. At each polling period, PCP attempts to creditize the request of the ONUs that suffer from high RTT, high average delay p...

Beth Sundheim Naval Ocean Systems Center, Code 444 271 Catalina Boulevard San Diego CA 92152 ` Evaluation has become an important and pressing concern for researchers in AI. We need to reassure ourselves and our program managers that progress is taking place, and that our technology is indeed advancing according to reasonable metrics and assessments. The difficulties with evaluating AI systems ...

Previous research has shown that linking approach or avoidance actions to novel stimuli through mere instructions causes changes in the implicit evaluation of these stimuli even when the actions are never performed. In two high-powered experiments (total N = 1147), we examined whether effects of approach-avoidance instructions on implicit evaluations are mediated by changes in explicit evaluati...

In this paper‎, ‎we decide to select the best center nodes‎ ‎of radial basis functions by applying the Multiple Criteria Decision‎ ‎Making (MCDM) techniques‎. ‎Two methods based on radial basis‎ ‎functions to approximate the solution of partial differential‎ ‎equation by using collocation method are applied‎. ‎The first is based‎ ‎on the Kansa's approach‎, ‎and the second is based on the Hermit...
