The Linear Programming Technique for Multidimensional Analysis of Preference (LINMAP) developed by Srinivasan and Shocker [V. Srinivasan, A.D. Shocker, Linear programming techniques for multidimensional analysis of preference, Psychometrika 38 (1973) 337–342] is one of the existing well-known methods for multiattribute decision making (MADM) problems. However, the LINMAP only can deal with MADM...

Considering nonlinear variation of working fluid’s specific heat with its temperature, finite-time thermodynamic theory is applied to analyze and optimize the characteristics an irreversible Atkinson cycle. Through numerical calculations, performance relationships between cycle dimensionless power density versus compression ratio thermal efficiency are obtained, respectively. When design parame...

This study aims at identifying and ranking the performance influencing factors (PIFs) that cause error in human operations. The failure weight rate for tasks carried out by each operator were investigated. Assessing these reduces error, hence increasing safety, efficiency job satisfaction. methods of linear programming technique multidimensional analysis preference (LINMAP) Bayesian Belief Netw...
