Objective evaluation in problems considering many, often conflicting criteria is challenging for the decision-maker. This paper presents an approach based on MCDA methods to objectify evaluations camera selection problem. The proposed includes three methods, TOPSIS, VIKOR, COMET, and two criterion weighting techniques. Two ranking similarity coefficients were used compare resulting rankings of ...

Background & objectives: Increasing solid waste has made waste management an important challenge in developing countries. The purpose of this study is to comparative evaluation of the application of incineration technologies and other waste disposal methods in Iran using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in 2019. Methods: In this descriptive-applied research, after making a hierarchy, the...

in the initial models of economic growth, economic factors entered in to models but in the following models, non-economic factors entered in to models. many broad studies were done on this subject by the economists, and already considerable results were obtained. subjects such as corruption in the administrative bodies were new variables entering the literature of economic growth at that stage....

Today, attention to the issue of industrial ecology in world has become very high and significant, but Iran this does not exist is only a slogan preliminary studies. The purpose study investigate these conditions provide structure model for implementation Iran. Industrial estates are one major centers producing energy waste country. Developing Ecology (IE) faces significant obstacles. This eval...

For testing against some restricted alternatives, in the light of the most stringency and somewhere most powerful character, the UI-LMPR tests are asymptotically optimal. The asymptotic distribution theory of such UI-LMPR test statistics is developed , and the same is incorporated in the comparative study of the asymptotic powers of the restricted UI-LMPR tests and their unrestricted versions (...

We explore from both theoretical and empirical perspectives the hypothesis that a significant part of the worldwide variability in human birthweight results from adaptive responses to local selective pressures. We first developed an agent-based model to simulate the process of evolutionary selection on life history strategy, and then we performed a comparative analysis across 89 countries world...
