Interval Type-2 Fuzzy TOPSIS (IT2FTOPSIS) is a useful way to handle Fuzzy Multiple Attribute DecisionMaking (FMADM) problems in a more flexible and intelligent manner. It is very useful due to the fact that it uses Type-2 Fuzzy Sets (T2FSs) rather than Type-1 Fuzzy Sets (T1FSs) to represent the evaluating values and the weights of attributes. Besides, all the linguistic terms are pointed in Typ...

We conducted a two-part analysis to assess the effects of SPLATs on California spotted owls (Strix occidentalis occidentalis). First, we performed a retrospective analysis using 20 years of demographic data collected at 74 spotted owl territories that included the Last Chance Study Area (LCSA) and the nearby Eldorado Study Area (ESA). This approach deviated from our original plan to directly es...

Studies applying Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to evaluate Road Transportation Fuels and Vehicles (RTFV) rely on a wide variety of evaluation criteria appear lack structured consistent way selection. This leads non-transparent not easily comparable results. To address this issue, methodological framework is developed systematically identify select relevant MCDA-evaluation for the asse...

To reduce building sector CO2 emissions, integrating renewable energy and thermal storage (TES) into design is crucial. TES provides a way of storing during high production for use later peak demand in buildings. The type stored can be divided three categories: sensible, latent, sorption/chemical. Unlike sensible TES, latent sorption/chemical have not been widely applied; however, they the adva...
