Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTHE LINEAR PROGRAMMING APPROACH ON A-P SUPER-EFFICIENCY DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS MODEL OF INFEASIBILITY OF SOLVING MODELChiao-Ping Bao, Chen-Hu Jeng, Ching-Chung Guey, Chien-Liang LinThe traditional CCR or BCC model in DEA for DMU assessment often come out with multiple efficiency units, which cause problems in rank ordering. Therefore, we intended to improve level of discrimination among Decision Making Units (DMUs). The present study thus seeks to solve the above-mentioned problems of discrimination and infeasible solutions in A-P super-efficient mode by proposing a feasible … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2014 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Decision Support Approach for the Sustainable Transfer of Energy Technologies under the Kyoto ProtocolCharikleia Karakosta, Haris Doukas, John PsarrasTheoretically, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) was introduced in the Kyoto Protocol at COP-3 in December 1997 and has officially been operational since the year 2000, in order to assist the technology transfer of sustainable energy technologies from developed to developing countries so as to support the sustainable development of the host countries. Under the CDM, sustainable development is considered … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 8,017 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordScenarios Analysis of Tourism DestinationsAnastasios Michailidis, Fotis ChatzitheodoridisThis study describes a multi-criteria decision-making framework employed to evaluate and rank three tourism destinations, located in the northern and central Greece. Additionally, innovatory elements are the incorporation of differing levels of socioeconomic data (destination image and destination personality) within the decision framework and the direct determination of the PROMETHEE II preference thresholds. The developed methodology provides a user-friendly approach, … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,490 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAC Analysis of PEO10LiCF3SO3 Polymeric Material for Memory Storage ApplicationMahmoud Z. IskandaraniProblem statement: Intelligent systems that need to accurately represent human brain requires analogue devices such as a neural switch that processes decision signals and can actually remember the made decision. Polymeric material such as PEO10LiCF3SO3, which previously used in high energy, long life storage batteries, is used here to implement the principle of storage with the required analogue memory. Approach: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStrategy Execution: An Empirical Analysis of Obstacles Faced by Master of Business Administration Executive StudentsAyande Alpha, Sabourin VincentProblem statement: This study examines obstacles faced by MBA executive students, regarding five dimensions of obstacle management. The purpose of the research is to assess the relative importance of these dimensions and to establish empirical linkages among obstacles and factors such as overall perception of the organization in terms of obstacle management, span of control of the best management practices, … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 6 Oct 2011 · 7,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCeppo Morelli Block-Falls Probability Study to Support the Decision of Excavating a by-Pass TunnelS. Longo, P. OresteProblem statement: In this article, some important aspects linked to the new Ceppo Morelli (Piemonte, Italy) future by-pass tunnel construction were considered. Approach: The article concerned a mountainous region which in the past was affected by slope landslides and block falls that reached a downhill roadway and two nearby villages. Results: Using risk analysis approach the probability of block-falls down … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordData Optimization with Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network and Using New Pattern in Decision Tree ComparativelyMurat Kayri, Omay CoklukProblem statement: The aim of the present study is to exemplify the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for parameter prediction. Missing value or unreal approach to some questions in scale is a problem for unbiased findings. To learn a real pattern with ANN provides robust and unbiased parameter estimation. Approach: To this end, data was collected from 906 students … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Reliable Method of Analysis for Geotechnical DataAbdolrasoul Ranjbaran, Mohammad Ranjbaran, Fatema RanjbaranGeotechnical engineering is the art of making decisions in the presence of uncertainty, where real world problems are treated and this is associated with uncertainties arising from various sources. The sources of uncertainty may be divided into uncertainties of nature and uncertainties of mind. The uncertainties of nature are due to variation of encountered phenomena, e.g., the shear strength in … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Dec 2020 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite
