integrating csf, ahp and genetic algorithms for information systems planning
a new integrated model is developed for information systems planning. in this model, entitled hisspm, a combination of the strengths of critical success factors (csf) method, analytic hierarchy process (ahp) technique and genetic algorithms (ga) is used to identify and prioritize the required information systems. this model considers both qualitative and quantitative factors, as well as the imp...
متن کاملAssessing host extinction risk following exposure to Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.
Wildlife diseases are increasingly recognized as a major threat to biodiversity. Chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease of amphibians caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Using a mathematical model and simulations, we study its effects on a generic riparian host population with a tadpole and adult life stage. An analytical expression for the basic reproduction q...
متن کاملMethods of assessing extinction risk in marine fishes
Life-history benchmarks 259 Qualitative ranking using threat correlates 259 Abstract The decline and disappearance of species from large parts of their former geographical range has become an important issue in fisheries ecology. There is a need to identify which species are at risk of extinction. The available approaches have been subject to considerable debate – particularly when applied to c...
متن کاملIntegrating Genetic Information Resources with an EHR
As the knowledge about the genetic factors associated with clinical conditions increases, access to information that can help practicing clinicians better understand these factors becomes essential for optimal care and communication with patients. We describe the implementation of 'infobuttons' from the problem list module of an electronic health record (EHR) to on-line genetic resources.
متن کاملCommunicating genetic risk information.
It is envisaged that genetic information will be used, together with other types of information, to assess individuals' risks of developing a variety of common conditions. Such risk assessments will involve providing probabilistic information partly based upon results of genetic tests in order to facilitate behaviour change without causing excessive anxiety. The behaviours targeted for change a...
