Multi-criteria decision making is a sub discipline of operations research that explicitly considers multiple criteria in decision making problems. Several methods have been proposed for solving multicriteria decision making problems (MCDM). The weighted sum method (WSM) is the best known and simplest multi-criteria decision making method for evaluating a number of alternatives in terms of a num...

Alternative data sources include scatterometry (Monaldo et al. 2004), or atmospheric model predictions (Monaldo et al. 2001). Figure 1 shows a wind speed map retrieved from an Envisat ASAR image acquired in wide swath mode (WSM) over Denmark on 13 October 2004. The image conveniently covers the majority of Danish Seas. A software tool developed at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics La...

We describe validation measurements of the geometric accuracy of ASAR images, measured redundantly via independent methods. Our tests include image (IM), alternating polarisation (AP), and wide swath (WS) mode acquisitions over a variety of test sites. ASAR's slant range products (IMS/APS) require a slightly different validation methodology than ground range precision (IMP, APP) and medium reso...

Abstract. The contemporary stress state in the upper crust is of great interest for geotechnical applications and basic research alike. However, our knowledge crustal field from data perspective limited. For Germany basically two datasets are available: orientations maximum horizontal (SHmax) regime as part World Stress Map (WSM) database well a complementary compilation magnitude adjacent regi...

The success of global treatment as prevention (TasP) efforts for individuals living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) is dependent on successful implementation, and therefore the appropriate contribution of social and behavioral science to these efforts. Understanding the psychosocial context of condomless sex among PLWHA could shed light on effective points of intervention. HPTN 063 was an observational m...

Boreal forests account for one third of terrestrial carbon stock. Wildfires are an important perturbation this pool, affecting in particular the litter layer. After forest fires, layers may possess shifting chemical property and decomposition dynamics due to changes post-fire vegetations succession abiotic factors. We measured water-soluble organic (WSOC) nitrogen (WSN) Oi Oe horizons boreal al...

The technological development of Internet Things (IoT) applications is emerging and attracting the attention real world in automated industry, agriculture, environment, scientific community. In most scenarios, extending network lifetime an IoT highly challenging because constrained nodes. wireless sensor (WSN) core component applications. addition, WSN nodes are required for processes, particul...

Advances in SmartPhone technology the current era, make many users have more and considerations to a because there are criteria that must be compared. The purpose of this paper is give careful consideration for every user an optimal SmartPhone. Problems felt by as find it difficult choices electronic goods form Thus, number methods needed able intelligent order obtain acquisition In short, meth...

Weyl semimetals (WSMs) have recently stimulated intensive interest because they exhibit fascinating physical properties and also promise exciting technological applications. So far, however, the few conrmed magnetic WSMs generally a large number of points either located away from Fermi level (EF ) or shrouded by nontopological surface pockets. Based on first principles density functional theory...
