The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been successfully used in the past for the selection of components, as presented in case studies in the literature. In this paper, an empirical study using AHP to rank components is presented. The components used in the study are for data compression; each implements one of the Arithmetic Encoding (AREC), Huffman coding (HUFF), Burrows-Wheeler Transform ...

The development of a method for the estimnation of nicotinamide methochloride in urine by Coulson, Ellinger & Holden (1944) provided, a means of studying its quantitative elimination in human urine under a variety of conditions. A preliminary method (Coulson, Ellinger, Glock & Platt, 1942) which gave only cbmparative but not quantitative results had been used before the chemical nature of the p...

In this paper, there are two competitors in a planar market. The first competitor, called, the leader, opens p new facilities. After that, the second competitor, the follower, reacts to the leader’s action and opens r new facilities. The leader and the follower have got some facilities in advance in this market. The optimal locations for leader and follower are chosen among predefined candidate...

In this study, a stochastic rainfall generator was developed to create continuous time series with high temporal resolution of 10 min. The rainfall-generation process involved Monte Carlo simulation for stochastically generating parameters such as quantity, duration, inter-event time, and type. A bivariate copula used preserve the correlation between quantity duration in generated series. modif...

Limited studies focus on educational equity from the spatial accessibility perspective. This study combines survey data and big proposes a multi-mode Huff two-step floating catchment area (MMH2SFCA) method to calculate while considering multiple travel modes school attractiveness. can also education quality by extending in each community. Results show that our proposed reliably identify differe...

This paper develops a two-stage model to consider a franchise/franchisee environment in which supply chains are simultaneously entering the untapped market to produce either identical or highly substitutable products and give franchise to franchisees. Customer demand is elastic, price dependent and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity rule model. The supply chains, in the first st...
