Battery technologies offer promising solutions for renewable energy storage. However, selecting the most suitable battery requires proper investigation. This study introduces a multi-criteria decision-making framework assessing batteries based on various criteria and uncertain data, by using combined objective weighting method an uncertainty-preserved complex proportional assessment (UP-COPRAS)...

Characterizing and identification of flood-susceptible areas can be a solution to mitigate the damages fatality rate. This study proposes novel hybrid MCDM framework assess flood susceptibility in large ungauged watersheds dealing with data scarcity issues. The proposed method examines interdependencies causal relationships between various criteria affecting flooding procedure using DEcision-MA...

Abstract Smart cities are included in the literature as a technology-based concept that has been on agenda recent years and whose framework is constantly changing with changes technology. There different frameworks indexes to define smartness of city. City Index 2021 published by Institute for Management Development (IMD) Singapore University Technology Design (SUTD) one accepted studies world....

Various risks and uncertainties exist in construction projects. These may not only prevent the projects to be completed within budget and time limit, but also threaten the quality, safety and operational needs. In making decisions involving multiple objects we have to consider conflicting goals and weigh them against each other. Fuzzy decisions making is a suitable method used by decision maker...

A method for the performance assessment of Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers for single-input single-output (SISO) self-regulating processes is proposed. In particular, the effectiveness of the tuning of the controller with respect to its load disturbance rejection performances is determined by evaluating simultaneously different simple indexes that are calculated by considering only the m...

Introduction PACT Abstract A parallel implementation for multi-implicit Runge-Kutta methods with real eigen-values is described. The parallel method is analysed and the algorithm is devised. For the problem with d domains, the amount within the s-stage Runge-Kutta method, associated with the solution of system, is proportional to (sd) 3. The proposed parallelisation transforms the above system ...

This article developed a new result on the eigenvalue distribution for a certain class of time delay systems based on the extension of the Hermite-Biehler Theorem. Such result is applied to proportional-integral (PI) controller parameter design for a first-order plant with time delay via eigenvalue assignment. Using the method provided in this paper, one can assign the rightmost eigenvalues of ...

Assessing security-related risks in software or systems engineering is a challenging task: often, a heterogeneous set of distributed stakeholders create a complex system of (software) components which are highly connected to each other, consumer electronics, or Internet-based services. Changes are frequent and must be handled efficiently. Consequently, risk assessment itself becomes a complex t...

aging declines abilities and leads to increased risk of falling and subsequently poorer quality of life. the objective of this study was to identify a proper assessment for risk of falling among institutionalized elderly. in order to accomplish this aim, two functional assessment methods, berg scale and tinetti scale, were used and the validity indices of these methods were calculated. prospect...
