Maji[32], firstly proposed neutrosophic soft sets can handle the indeterminate information and inconsistent information which exists commonly in belief systems. In this paper, we have firstly redefined complement, union and compared our definitions of neutrosophic soft with the definitions given by Maji. Then, we have introduced the concept of neutrosophic soft matrix and their operators which ...

This paper proposes a method for ranking decision making units (DMUs) using some of the multiple criteria decision making / multiple attribute decision making          (MCDM /MADM) techniques, namely, interval analytic hierarchy process (IAHP)          and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS).          Since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to ...

This article provides a comprehensive review of research articles related to the application of decision support and intelligent systems in the textile and apparel supply chains. Data were obtained from 77 articles published from 1994 to 2009 in 35 journals. The articles were categorized according to their applicability into three basic sectors – textile production, apparel manufacture, and dis...

it is well known that the matrix exponential function has practical applications in engineering and applied sciences. in this paper, we present some new explicit identities to the exponential functions of a special class of matrices that are known as central-symmetric $x$-form. for instance, $e^{mathbf{a}t}$, $t^{mathbf{a}}$ and $a^{mathbf{a}t}$ will be evaluated by the new formulas in this par...

current theories argue that decision making is largely based on quick and intuitive processes.the results of study on topping organizations show that successful decision-makings are intuitive rather than rational. therefore in recent years the issue of intuition and intuitive decision making as an effective management has attracted increasing attention in scientific circles and world-class rese...

In the present work, the general purpose radiation transport MCNPX code (version 2.5.0) was used to evaluate the neutron fluence response matrix of the passive Bonner sphere spectrometer recently developed in our laboratory. The calculations were performed for an extended neutron incidence energy range (from 10−9 MeV to 1 GeV). Afterward, a sensitivity analysis of the main parameters affecting ...

This paper presents a method to address the pursuit-evasion problem which incorporates the behaviors of the opponent, in which a continuous-time Markov decision process (CTMDP) model is introduced, where the significant difference from Markov decision process (MDP) is that the influence of the transition time between the states is taken into account. By introducing the concept of situation, the...

The need of making decisions pervades every field of human activity. Several decision support methods and software tools are available in the literature, relying upon different modelling assumptions and often producing different results. In this paper we investigate the relationships between two such approaches: the recently introduced QuAD frameworks, based on the IBIS model and quantitative a...

Technology assessment is a vital part of decision process in manufacturing, particularly for decisions on selection of new sustainable manufacturing processes. To assess these processes, a matrix approach is introduced and sustainability assessment models are developed. Case studies show that the matrix-based approach provides a flexible and practical way for sustainability evaluation of new ma...

A tunnel is a symmetric structure working under uncertain load. In the traditional method of monitoring and measurement deformation, only small number measuring point displacements are engaged to represent overall deformation tunnel, it difficult fully reflect displacement changes during construction process. this paper, proposed for process based on 3D laser scanning technology. Initially, was...
