In order to rationalize material selection in green design, this study presents an attempt combine the methods of generalized Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). By establishing a index system, G-CCR model DEA was first used select effective materials from candidate samples, TOPSIS then sort suppliers. The combined DEA/TOPSIS...

ABSTRACT Several traits must be simultaneously considered in selection of tobacco cultivars for meeting the requirements farmers, manufacturers and consumers. Breeders should have an understanding associations between economically-important order to devise best strategy response all them. Utilization indices has been shown one most efficient selecting correlated characters. In tobacco, no repor...

The α-μ distribution is a generalized fading distribution which explores nonlinearities of the wireless channel. The performance metrics such as outage and bit error rate (BER) of α-μ distribution for maximal ratio combining (MRC), equal gain combining (EGC), selection combining (SC) and switch and stay combining (SSC) is evaluated analytically and by simulation. Analytical and simulation resul...

Machine learning algorithms are often used to model and predict animal habitat selection—the relationships between occurrences characteristics. For broadly distributed species, selection varies among populations regions; thus, it would seem preferable fit region- or population-specific models of for more accurate inference prediction, rather than fitting large-scale using pooled data. However, ...

Combining ability is crucial for parent selection in crop hybrid breeding. The present investigation and results had revealed the underlying genetic factors which might contribute in adequate combining ability, further assisting in enhancing heterosis and stability. Here, we conducted a large-scale analysis of genomic variation in order to define genomic regions affecting the combining ability ...

In this paper, we investigate a new generalized selection combining (GSC) technique and an adaptive rake combining scheme to save the power consumption of mobile rake receivers for wideband CDMA systems. The new GSC technique called minimum selection GSC (MS-GSC) selects a minimum number of rake fingers, while maintaining the combined SNR larger than a given threshold. The proposed adaptive rak...

In this paper an approach to the performance analysis of hybrid MRCS (Selection Maximal Ratio Combining) diversity system operating over Ricean fading channels is presented. Hybrid MRCS combining method has a simple implementation, where maximal-ratio combined signals are chosen on a selection combining basis. Closed form expressions are provided for standard first and second order statistical ...

This paper investigates different ways of combining feature selection with bagging and rule extraction in predictive modeling. Experiments on a large number of data sets from the medicinal chemistry domain, using standard algorithms implemented in the Weka data mining workbench, show that feature selection can lead to significantly improved predictive performance. When combining feature selecti...
