Most of data in a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem are unstable and changeable, then sensitivity analysis after problem solving can effectively contribute to making accurate decisions. This paper provides a new method for sensitivity analysis of MADM problems so that by using it and changing the weights of attributes, one can determine changes in the final results of a decision ma...

Sistem pendukung keputusan seleksi beasiswa yang berjalan saat ini di Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo (UMP)menerapkan metode Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). Berdasarkan pengujian sistem, tingkat akurasi sistem sebesar 80%. Hasil dirasa kurang efisien, sehingga perlu ditingkatkan, agar hasil pemilihan Lazizmu lebih optimal. Tujuan penelitian yaitu membandingkan beberapa metode, antara lain (...

Interval-valued fuzzy sets involve more uncertainties than ordinary fuzzy sets and can be used to capture imprecise or uncertain decision information in fields that require multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). This paper takes the simple additive weighting (SAW) method and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) as the main structure to deal with in...

The output of a multiple criteria decision method often has to be analyzed using some sensitivity analysis technique. The SAW MCDM method is commonly used in management sciences and there is a critical need for a robust approach to sensitivity analysis in the context that uncertain data is often present in decision models. Most of the sensitivity analysis techniques for the SAW method involve M...

Microactuation of free standing objects in fluids is currently dominated by the rotary propeller, giving rise to a range of potential applications in the military, aeronautic and biomedical fields. Previously, surface acoustic waves (SAWs) have been shown to be of increasing interest in the field of microfluidics, where the refraction of a SAW into a drop of fluid creates a convective flow, a p...

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices, using interdigital electrodes, play a key role in today’s telecommunication systems and are widely used as electronic filters, resonators, delay lines, convolvers or wireless identification systems (ID tags). During the last three decades, demands set by the expansion of the telecommunication industry and many applications in sensor have resulted in the intr...

Osteotomy techniques date back to Hippocrates circa 415 BC (Jones Hippocrates collected works I, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, 2006; Brorson in Clin Orthop Relat Res 467(7):1907-1914, 2009). There is debate about the best way to divide the bone surgically and which technique yields the best bone regenerate in lengthening; ensuring predictable new bone formation and healing of the osteoto...

nowadays, liveliness and rapid maintenance of the development process of the companies are dependent on the accurate and complete understanding of the merits of the financial activities. since these merits are relative concepts that are based on comparisons, lists of ranking and comparison of industries with each other act as useful signposts for managers, politicians, and investors. the point ...

The effect of the sensitive area of the two-port resonator configuration on the mass sensitivity of a Rayleigh surface acoustic wave (R-SAW) sensor was investigated theoretically, and verified in experiments. A theoretical model utilizing a 3-dimensional finite element method (FEM) approach was established to extract the coupling-of-modes (COM) parameters in the absence and presence of mass loa...

In the last reading we began discussing proofs. We mentioned some proof paradigms that are generally applicable. For implications, we saw how to write a direct proof and an indirect proof. We saw how to prove equivalences by proving two implications and by constructing a chain of equivalences. We also saw two techniques applicable to proofs of any statements, namely proof by contradiction and p...
