Recently, Calantone, Di Benedetto, and Schmidt [2] presented an Analytic Hierarchy Process (Am) modeling approach to new product screening. The illustration of this approach is an example of a decision support model that seeks to aid managers in selecting new product ideas to pursue. In this paper we improve upon this initial AHP model using a "fuzzy" mathematical application. This use of fuzzy...

Focusing on the diversity, complexity and uncertainty of the third-party damage accident, the failure probability of third-party damage to urban gas pipeline was evaluated on the theory of analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy mathematics. The fault tree of third-party damage containing 56 basic events was built by hazard identification of third-party damage. The fuzzy evaluation of basic event ...

The change of land use/land cover has been known as an imperative force in environmental alteration, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This research was mainly aimed to assess the validity of two major types of land change modeling techniques via a three dimensional approach in Birjand urban watershed located in an arid climatic region of Iran. Thus, a Markovian approach based on two suit...

Healthy assessment weights of using of modern electronic equipment is too subjective problem, it is proposed in this paper that is based on fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and the method based on the theory of the D-S evidence. In solid state transmitter, for example, by analysis of working principle, from the perspective of healthy status evaluation, it will be associated with healthy status ...

Generation expansion planning is a challenging problem due to its large-scale, long-term, non-linear, and discrete nature of generation unit size. Since the computation revolution, there are several emerging techniques proposed to solve large scale optimization problem. Many of these techniques have been reported to use in generation expansion planning. This paper will describe these emerging o...

With the development of society, high-level applied students have been an urgent demand and the quality of entrepreneurial education of postgraduate has attracted more and more attention. Based on the requirements of universities society and enterprise for the comprehensive ability of postgraduate, we proposed the evaluation index system and used AHP-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation approach, whi...
