This paper proposes a new hybrid multiattribute decision making (MADM) model which deals with the interactions that usually exist between hostel attributes in the process of measuring the students’ satisfaction towards a set of hostels and identifying the optimal strategies for enhancing their satisfaction. The model uses systematic random stratified sampling approach for data collection purpos...

Bridges are one the most important and useful river structure and as a key of Communication ways are very significant. Local Scouring is one the most reason of Instability of bridges and finally its failure annually immense human and financial cost to the government imposes. So far, several studies on ways to control and reduce scouring around piers of the bridges has been done among them, the ...

For any smooth free action of the unit circle S in a manifold M ; the Gysin sequence of M is a long exact sequence relating the DeRham cohomologies of M and its orbit space M/S. If the action is not free then M/S is not a manifold but a stratified pseudomanifold and there is a Gysin sequence relating the DeRham cohomology of M with the intersection cohomology of M/S. In this work we extend the ...

Based on a completely distributive lattice $M$, base axioms and subbase axioms are introduced in $M$-fuzzifying convex spaces. It is shown that a mapping $mathscr{B}$ (resp. $varphi$) with the base axioms (resp. subbase axioms) can induce a unique $M$-fuzzifying convex structure with  $mathscr{B}$ (resp. $varphi$) as its base (resp. subbase). As applications, it is proved that bases and subbase...

We present a novel theory that determines the sensitivity of linear stability to changes in the density or velocity of a base flow. The sensitivity is based on global direct and adjoint eigenmodes of the linearized Boussinesq equation, and is inspired by constantdensity sensitivity analysis. The theory can be applied broadly to incompressible flows with small density variations, but it specific...
