the rapid development of internet and electronic businesses have stimulated the banking sector towards encouraging customers to internet banking (ib), however, the evidence indicates a lack of interest in the use of ib services. therefore, this paper aims to identify affecting factors on customer adoption from ib and measure the influence of each factor on ib adoption. based on an explorative l...

in most of the multi–criteria decision–analysis (mcda) problems in which the choquet integral is used as aggregation function, the coefficients of choquet integral (capacity) are not known in advance. actually, they could be calculated by capacity definition methods. in these methods, the preference information of decision maker (dm) is used to constitute a possible solution space. the methods ...

This paper deals with the development of a numerical simulation methodology for estimating damages in laminate composite materials caused by a low-speed impact. Experimental tests were performed on laminate plates reinforced with woven carbon fibers and epoxy resin. Three thickness plates were evaluated. The impact loads were transversal and punctual. Two lamina failure criteria were evaluated....

in recent decade, several methodologies and tools have been developed to undertake a risk analysis in order to prevent accidents in the process industries. attempts have been made to study and compare these methods. however, yet no method has been proposed to aid managers in a scientific selection of a proper risk analysis method. in this paper, we have presented a multi criteria decision makin...

A lot of data had to be processed and evaluated in carrying out multivariant design and multiple criteria analysis of a building life cycle. The number of feasible alternatives can be as large as 100 000. Each of the alternatives may be described from various perspectives (economic, technical, qualitative, technological, social, legislative, infrastructural, etc.). The problem arises how to per...

making decision has become one of the most challenging responsibilities of managers in recent decades. finding the optimum solution for multiple criteria decision making problems is complicated. notably, multiplicity of decision making indices accompanied by variability in quantitative and qualitative measures aggregates the complexity of decisions. operations research (or) and multiple criteri...

Multi-criteria group decision-making is a process in which decision makers assess the performance of alternatives on the basis of conflicting criteria to opt the most worthy alternative as solution. TOPSIS and ELECTRE are effective and commonly used methods to solve multiple criteria decision-making problems. The aim of this study is to propose two new models, namely, complex Pythagorean fuzzy ...

strategic environmental assessment can be viewed as a process to integrate the concept ofsustainable development into planning. in this context, sea can be regarded as a method that regulates theplanning process to a state of sustainable development. however, to reach that goal it is necessary to achieve full integration of planning and the sea process.therefore this paper considers the integra...

throughout life cycle of oil production wells, it is imperative to have production optimization and real response time to rapid changes of well conditions and more understanding of subsurface otherwise it is the matter of expenditure losing. smart well capabilities meet aforementioned issues. however there is a key concern in managers' mind that they have limited budget and several fields' docu...
