An effective assessment tool can prevent student dropout problems that are a continuous concern in the educational world in advance. If students can be screened before dropping out and offered preventive counseling, their risk behaviors will be more effectively controlled than if they are found and returned to school. Researchers are diligently developing efficient and effective assessment tool...

Performance of electrical matching of an ultrasonic transducer to the excitation generator is analyzed. The analysis is based on a transducer measured impedance. Real power supplied to the ultrasonic transducer is one of evaluation criteria. The obtainable bandwidth as well as it’s product with a real power supplied are assigned as the alternative performance evaluation criteria. Effective band...

The purpose of Multi-modal Multi-criteria Personalized Route Planning (MMPRP) is to provide an optimal route between an origin-destination pair by considering weights of effective criteria in a way this route can be a combination of public and private modes of transportation. In this paper, the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and the quantifier-guided ordered weighted averaging (...

Community forestry in Nepal strives for forest conservation and sustainable forest management. Evaluating progress towards this end requires periodic measurements, and currently there are no standard tools for undertaking evaluations in a participatory way. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a standardized way for measuring effective forest conservation through the use of locally set score...

abstract background: regarding the diagnostic errors of the classic criteria including serum ascites albumin gradient (saag), total protein concentration and the adapted light et al’s criteria in distinguishing transudate versus exudates, we evaluated the ascitic fluid to serum bilirubin ratio as a new criteria in this regard. we also evaluated whether the combination of bilirubin ratio with ea...

decision making about outsourcing or insourcing of manufacturing activities is a type of multiple criteria decision making (mcdm) problem, which requires considering quantitative and qualitative factors as evaluation criteria simultaneously. therefore, a suitable mcdm method can be useful in this area as it can consider the interactions among quantitative and qualitative criteria. the analytic ...
