An improved Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) is used to quantitatively investigate the impact of Jiangxi Province regional economy on local logistics demand. The grey characteristics of data from regional economy and logistics is studied, which shows GRA is applicable; then a multi-sequence GRA is proposed, which generates total 4 groups of grey relational sequence from three indices of industria...

this study focused on the optimization of al—mg to cuzn34 friction stir lap welding (fslw) process for optimal combination of rotational and traverse speeds in order to yield favorable fracture load using grey relational analysis (gra). first, the degree of freedom was calculated for the system. then, the experiments based on the target values and number of considered levels, corresponding orth...

This paper investigates the intonation development of an infant during the first year. Three stages include the goo stage (2-3 months), the canonical babbling stage (7-9 months), and the variegated babbling stage (10-12 months). Falling contour was found to be the most common intonation at the goo stage. Rising contour was found to be the dominant intonation both at the canonical babbling and t...

this paper applies a new multi attribute decision-making (madm) model to help companies for enterprise resource planning (erp) selection problem based on balanced score card method. this paper uses three-parameter interval grey numbers which is derived from grey theory (was proposed by j. deng). this numbers is used instead of linguistic variables. beside, a new weighting method that outcomes f...

Based on the set of an indicator system and the grey relational analysis model, the regional technology innovation ability of China is evaluated. It shows that the regional technology innovation ability of China is improving gradually; the level of technology input and the environment of technology innovation are promoting the development of the technology innovation ability of China, the level...
