Quality yarn index using AHP and Fuzzy method

The yarn quality depends on many parameters: characteristics parameters, mechanical and physical properties. Making the hypothesis that the quality of the yarn is a multicriteria problem, in this paper, we propose a new method to determine the Quality Yarn Index QYI based on Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP and Fuzzy theory. A questionnaire was designed for experts of each field (weaving and knitting) to evaluate the relative importance for each property to determine coefficients of the AHP matrix. Results revealed that matrix coefficients changed with yarn application (weft or warp weaving and knitting) The QYI can be used in any application, where a rapid decision is needed, to evaluate the global quality of yarn and to make a comparison between different yarn qualities

Effect of using various weighting methods in a process of landslide susceptibility assessment

This study discusses the evaluation of the effect of using different weighting approaches in the process of landslide susceptibility assessment. Weighting process is needed, especially for landslide susceptibility assessment using bivariate statistical analysis, and can radically affect the resulting susceptibility map. The bivariate analysis belongs to a set of quantitative methods. The initial point for the bivariate analysis is selection and processing of input factors in the form of parametric maps, factors that play a dominant role in slope stability. The parametric maps were subsequently evaluated related to landslide inventory map. Another essential part of the bivariate analysis is the determination of the weight of the given input factors. Herein, four methods were applied to determine the weights of each class within reclassified input factors, as well as the total weight of the individual input factors. As a study area, the district of Kysucke Nove Mesto in Slovakia was chosen. Four prognostic maps were the result using entropy index, AHP method (AHP—analytic hierarchy process) (the input factors weighted as a whole), frequency ratio and landslide index (the weights were calculated for each class of input factor). Final landslide susceptibility maps were verified trough ROC curves (ROC—receiver operating characteristics). The accuracy of maps was ascertained by the size area (AUC—area under curve) under ROC curve. The highest accuracy was obtained for maps using weights calculated from the landslide index (88.5%) and the frequency ratio (88.4%).

Research on Network Security Situation Assessment and Quantification Method Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process

In hierarchical network security situation assessment model, there are many problems, such as subjective index weight factor, large evaluation index system, large amount of calculation and low efficiency. A network security situation assessment model and quantification method based on AHP is proposed to solve this problem. The AHP analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is combined with the hierarchical model of situation assessment to simplify the situation assessment problem. The D–S evidence theory is used to fuse the fuzzy results of multi-source equipment to solve the problem of single information source and large deviation of accuracy. Through the construction of three evaluation indexes of risk situation, basic operation situation and damage situation, the problem of large evaluation index system and low evaluation efficiency is solved. AHP analytic hierarchy process is used to determine the weights of different index items, so as to avoid the subjectivity and randomness of weighting factors. The simulation results show that the model can reflect the security status of the network as a whole, and the situation assessment is accurate and can better serve the high-level decision-making.

Flood Hazard Mapping of Lower Indus Basin Using Multi-Criteria Analysis

Flooding has been one of the recurring occurred natural disasters that induce detrimental impacts on humans, property and environment. Frequent floods is a severe issue and a complex natural phenomenon in Pakistan with respect to population affected, environmental degradations, and socio-economic and property damages. The Super Flood, which hit Sindh in 2010, has turned out to be a wakeup call and has underlined the overwhelming challenge of natural calamities, as 2010 flood and the preceding flood in 2011 caused a huge loss to life, property and land use. These floods resulted in disruption of power, telecommunication, and water utilities in many districts of Pakistan, including 22 districts of Sindh. These floods call for risk assessment and hazard mapping of Lower Indus Basin flowing in the Sindh Province as such areas were also inundated in 2010 flood, which were not flooded in the past in this manner. This primary focus of this paper is the use of Multi-criteria Evaluation (MCE) methods in integration with the Geographical Information System (GIS) for the analysis of areas prone to flood. This research demonstrated how GIS tools can be used to produce map of flood vulnerable areas using MCE techniques. Slope, Aspect, Curvature, Soil, and Distance from Drainage, Land use, Precipitation, Flow Direction, and Flow Accumulation are taken as the causative factors for flooding in Lower Indus Basin. Analytical Hierarchy Process-AHP was used for the calculation of weights of all these factors. Finally, a flood hazard Map of Lower Indus Basin was generated which delineates the flood prone areas in the Sindh province along Indus River Basin that could be inundated by potential flooding in future. It is aimed that flood hazard mapping and risk assessment using open source geographic information system can serve as a handy tool for the development of land-use strategies so as to decrease the impact from flooding.
