the sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems is important for two reasons: first, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...

Severe range degradation was critically extended in many region of Iran and caused many rangelands were restricted and interwoven with croplands in a complex system. Therefore, rangeland planning and inventory as an isolated activity has become almost impossible. Current landscape planning involves contributions of different social organizations often with different interests and with different...

This study aimed to prioritize the factors affecting drought, which is an important issue for sustainability of agricultural production, and classify by severity dry periods. An integrated decision model based on multi-criteria making (MCDM) techniques, Entropy, TOPSIS (Technique Order Preference Similarity Ideal Solution) MAUT (Multi Attribute Utility Theory) methods, was presented in study. T...

Problem definition: Unexpected failures of equipment can have severe consequences and costs. Such unexpected be prevented by performing preventive replacement based on real-time degradation data. We study a component that degrades according to compound Poisson process fails when the exceeds failure threshold. An online sensor measures in real time, but interventions are only possible during pla...
