Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DTMRI) has proved useful for microstructure characterization of the brain. This technique also helps determining complex connectivity of fiber tracts. The brain white matter (BMW) changes with respect to age and corresponding appearance of white-matter lesions among the brain’s message-carrying axons affects cognitive functions in old age. In this pa...

Purpose This paper proposes a new multi-criteria decision-making method, called the vital-immaterial-mediocre method (VIMM), to determine weight of multiple conflicting and subjective criteria in problem. Design/methodology/approach The novel utilizes pairwise comparisons, vector-based procedures scoring approach weights criteria. VIMM compares alternatives by three crucial components, namely v...

This study proposes a decision framework based on industry 4.0 initiatives within circular economy implementation to evaluate and select sustainable suppliers. In this context, supplier selection, 4.0, have emerged as key topics of the contemporary operations management debate. The mix method approach combining literature review industrial expert’s inputs was adopted identify four main categori...

The practice of rain-fed agriculture plays a vital role in both the economy and food security, yet it is subject to various challenges such as climate change institutional barriers. This study employs Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analyses, Best-Worst Method (BWM), Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) integrated approach identify most effective strategies f...

The construction supply chain network has been facing challenges in relation to reducing cost and delivery time, increasing the quality of built assets, environmental pollution. These issues have caused contractors project managers this industry note concept green management (GCSCM). This study examined most important barriers implementation GSCM industry. In paper, components sub-components GC...

Over the last few decades, there has been increasing pressure on manufacturing organisations to reduce their current level of emissions due governmental policies climate change and increased awareness sustainability. To mitigate these challenges, is a need for industries measure analyse environmental wastes using tools like life cycle assessment (LCA). But, implement LCA comprehensively, it ind...

Evaluating the life cycle of buildings is a valuable tool for assessing sustainability and analyzing environmental consequences throughout construction operations buildings. In this study, in order to determine importance building evaluation indicators, new combination method was used based on quantitative-qualitative (QQM) simplified best-worst (SBWM). The SBWM because it simplifies BWM calcul...
