This article presents a new fuzzy multiple criteria decision making model for the evaluation of airline competitiveness over a period. The evaluation problem is formulated as a fuzzy multiple criteria decision making problem and solved by our strength-weakness based approach. For finding out the strength and weakness of an airline over another airline, we present a preference function based on ...

Mg,n ψ1 1 · · ·ψ dn n . Witten-Kontsevich theorem [9, 4] provides a recursive way to compute all these intersection numbers. However explicit and effective recursion formulae for computing intersection indices are still very rare and very welcome. Our n-point function formula [5] computes intersection indices recursively by decreasing the number of marked points. So it is natural to ask whether...

Water level monitoring is important for understanding the global hydrological cycle. Remotely-sensed indices that capture localized instantaneous responses have been extensively explored for water level reconstruction during the past two decades. However, the potential usage of the Palmer’s Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indices for water level reconstruct...

BACKGROUND Robotic rehabilitation devices for upper limb function (ULF) provide global indicators of a patient's ability, but the temporal evolution of motion related to motor control is disregarded. OBJECTIVE To determine normative values for indices of accuracy, speed and smoothness in the evaluation of upper limb function. METHODS Twenty-five healthy individuals performed the Armeo®Sprin...

PURPOSE To analyze static visual field sensitivity with topographic models of the hill of vision (HOV), and to characterize several visual function indices derived from the HOV volume. METHODS A software application, Visual Field Modeling and Analysis (VFMA), was developed for static perimetry data visualization and analysis. Three-dimensional HOV models were generated for 16 healthy subjects...

INTRODUCTION In the current study, we evaluated the effect of anthropometric indices on ejection fraction following first acute anterior myocardial infarction. METHODS In an analytic-cross sectional study, 50 patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction and abnormal anthropometric indices (Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 30, Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) ≥ 1 and ≥ 0.85 in males and females respectively...

Genetic algorithm (GA) is designed to search the optimal solution via weeding out the worse gene strings based on a fitness function. GA had demonstrated effectiveness in solving the problems of unsupervised image classification, one of the optimization problems in a large domain. Many indices or hybrid algorithms as a fitness function in a GA classifier are built to improve the classification ...
