Succession Dominates Alpha Male Replacement in Despotic Rhesus Monkeys: Insights from a Long-Term Study in the Taihang Mountains, Henan Province, China [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals
Alpha male replacement occurs in many group-living non-human primates, but its characteristics remain under-explored. Species of the genus Macaca live in multi-male, multi-female groups and are structured into four levels of social styles, which may ...

Evaluation of Human Resources in Transportation Companies Using Multi-Criteria Model for Ranking Alternatives by Defining Relations between Ideal and Anti-Ideal Alternative (RADERIA)

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
Multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) represent a very powerful tool for making decisions in different areas. Making a rational and reliable decision, while respecting different factors, is a challenging and difficult task; MCDM models have a ...

Reverse split rank

open access: yesMathematical Programming, 2014
The reverse split rank of an integral polyhedron P is defined as the supremum of the split ranks of all rational polyhedra whose integer hull is P. Already in R^3 there exist polyhedra with infinite reverse split rank. We give a geometric characterization of the integral polyhedra in R^n with infinite reverse split rank.

Identifying and correcting the defects of the Saaty analytic hierarchy/network process: A comparative study of the Saaty analytic hierarchy/network process and the Markov chain-based analytic network process

open access: yesOperations Research Perspectives, 2022
The Saaty analytic network process (Saaty-ANP) is a generalization of the analytic hierarchy process. The Markov chain-based ANP (MC-ANP) is another decision-making approach suitable for general structures.

Incremental Reverse Nearest Neighbor Ranking [PDF]

open access: yes2009 IEEE 25th International Conference on Data Engineering, 2009
In this paper, we formalize the novel concept of incremental reverse nearest neighbor ranking and suggest an original solution for this problem. We propose an efficient approach for reporting the results incrementally without the need to restart the search from scratch.
