Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods are famous approaches to structure information and decision evaluation in problems with multiple, conflicting goals. This paper proposes a fusion approach for solving the alternative selection problem. It has three advantages described as below: (1) it uses the entropy method and the ME-OWA operator to get the value of the attribute weight; (2) it u...

Cell-based Multicriteria Evaluation (MCE) methods are used to analyse the flood vulnerable areas. Flood disaster has a very special place in natural hazards. Its effect area is not bounded; it is an unusual event of a river basin. The aim in integrating Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is to provide more flexible and more accurate decisions to t...

There is consensus regarding the fact that urban green areas contribute to quality of life their inhabitants. Therefore, efficient city management must assess whether population has access and areas’ in relation to, for example, vegetation, facilities or furnishings. objective establish environmental justice parks Tarragona (Spain) by developing a Park Quality Index (PQI) sociodemographic chara...

Spatial analysis techniques are widely used as an effective approach for prone road traffic accident classification. This paper will present the results of empirical behavioral testing on spatial classification using Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) method. The performance MCDM is compared arterial and collector types processed with multicriteria parameters. was chosen because it can be a d...

Under the influence of human activities, natural climate change and other factors, function-folding phenomenon land use has appeared in China. The conflict levels different land-use functions intensified. Based on perspective production–living–ecological function, we constructed a function evaluation model by using multi-criteria analysis (MCE) method. According to arrangement combination each ...

this research aims at developing original components of decision support system (dss) in order to support the evaluation and selection of suppliers in multi products having limited capacity. to achieve this purpose, researchers have proposed three different models based on which suppliers allow selecting their own desired type of discount. firstly based on the performed studies, some criteria h...

Cellular automata (CA) is increasingly used to simulate various dynamic courses, e.g. urban spatial growth, forest fire spread and soil desertification. CA simulates these courses with iterative evolvements. Through simple and partial rules to form complex space structures and patterns, CA can express complex systems which are difficult to perform only with mathematical formulas. In combination...

This paper developed an optimization technique for groundwater vulnerability in Kano Metropolis, North-Western Nigeria. A combination of DRASTIC is taken from initial letters seven parameters namely depth to water table (D), net recharge (R), aquifer media (A), soil (S), topography (T), impact vadose zone (V) and hydraulic conductivity (C), while GOD also represents confinement (G), overlaying ...

BACKGROUND Dynamic changes of myocardial blood flow have been observed after reperfusion of an occluded coronary artery. MCE performed by intracoronary contrast injection can provide an estimate of microvascular flow. We hypothesized that MCE performed using intravenous infusion of a new generation contrast agent and electrocardiogram-gated harmonic imaging would be able to assess serial change...
