This paper presents the application of radial basis neural networks to the development of a novel method for the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of synchronous generators. In the proposed scheme, flux linkage analysis is used to reach a decision. Probabilistic neural network (PNN) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) are used in design of fault diagnosis system. PNN as main part of thi...

Linkage analysis involves performing significance tests at many loci located throughout the genome. Traditional criteria for declaring a linkage statistically significant have been formulated with the goal of controlling the rate at which any single false positive occurs, called the genomewise error rate (GWER). As complex traits have become the focus of linkage analysis, it is increasingly com...

The decision making on selection of improvement solutions was one of the obstacles hampering the success of process improvement. This paper presents the House of Improvement (HOI) model as a guideline to link decision criteria for the prioritisation of improvement solutions. Three phases in the HOI are applied to facilitate selection and to ensure that suitable and value-added solutions are cho...

implementation of the risk management concepts into construction practice may enhance the performance of project by taking appropriate response actions against identified risks. this research proposes a multi-criteria group decision making approach for the evaluation of different alternative response scenarios. to take into account the uncertainties inherent in evaluation process, fuzzy logic i...

making decision has become one of the most challenging responsibilities of managers in recent decades. finding the optimum solution for multiple criteria decision making problems is complicated. notably, multiplicity of decision making indices accompanied by variability in quantitative and qualitative measures aggregates the complexity of decisions. operations research (or) and multiple criteri...

abstract— in this paper, a new extended method of multi criteria decision making based on fuzzy-topsis theory is introduced. fuzzy mcdm algorithm for determining the best choice among all possible choices when the data are fuzzy is also presented. using a new index leads to procedure for choosing fuzzy ideal and negative ideal solutions directly from the fuzzy data observed alternatives.in this...

supplier selection is one of the critical activities for firms to gain competitive advantage and achieve the objectives of the whole supply chain. in this paper based on a dea-topsis method for madm problems a flexible strategy for supplier selection is introduced

the development of multiple criteria decision making techniques is to provide the possibility of using multiple criteria in decision making problems. multi-criteria decision making problems primarily relate to choosing the best option among several available options and according to some indicators. one of the major issues in this regard is to determine the importance weights of decision criter...
