As we search to achieve sustainable development and substance, energy security and efficiency should be viewed not only through the perspective of addressing short-term challenges, but also a necessity for long-term growth of the economy. In this paper, PROMETHEE and Electre approaches are suggested for the selection among energy policies. Also, the methodology is based on these two methods via comparison. In the application of the proposed methodologies, the best energy policy is launched into determining for Turkey.

Making successful decisions on image classification can be influenced by the level of present noise. The noise on data can be reduced applying many classical and advanced techniques such as low pass filters or wavelets. However, in some cases the presence of the noise is not global but located only in some particular regions of the image. In these situations the application of global filters over the entire image is not a suitable option since the noise and the information are equally reduced. This article describes an intelligent approach to eliminate noise and avoid affecting the overall image.

The goal of this research is to present a novel group multi-criteria decision-making (GMCDM) method with alternative vote system (AVS). In the process of solving a GMCDM problem, it is one of most important issue to aggregate the ranking order of alternatives by each decision maker. The best alternative can be selected by minimizing the total unsatisfied points of members in decision group. By considering the importance of each criterion in GMCDM problem, the AVS is applied to minimize the total unsatisfied point of members in decision group and to determine the final ranking order of alternatives. A numerical example is implemented to illustrate the advantage of the proposed method. Finally, conclusions are discussed at the end of paper.

A fuzzy reliability approach is a good alternative for a probabilistic reliability approach to assess event reliability data when event historical data is unavailable or inadequate for statistical calculation. It applies possibility theory to represent event failure in qualitative natural languages and fuzzy set theory to represent those qualitative natural languages in mathematical form. In this study, we develop a new area defuzzification technique and propose it to assess nuclear event reliability data from their corresponding failure possibilities. To justify the applicability of the new technique, we define five fuzzy rules to be satisfied by the technique and use five sets of fuzzy subsets to mathematically confirm the technique. The results show that the new area defuzzification technique is suitable for assessing nuclear event reliability data in the fuzzy reliability

Virtual reality have been used to provide training systems in several areas, in particular in medicine. In that area, user's interactions in a virtual environment are modeled and they are compared with predefined classes of performance to know how much users are prepared to perform that procedure on human beings. In this paper, it is proposed a new approach for online Single User's Assessment System (SUAS) using Possibility and Necessity measures. Those fuzzy measures provide a interval estimator for the compatibility between an user's interactions and previous stored classes of performance and it is the kernel of a decision support system.

In this paper, we make an attempt to review literature in supply chain (SC) by uncertainty aspect. Using resource based approach [65], main uncertainty sources which are demand, process and supply of supply chain are taken into account for analysis. Uncertainties are given in detail grouping by main uncertainty sides of supply chain. Problem areas that uncertainties occur are classified. Used techniques to define and handle uncertainties in papers also are analyzed. Solving methods of problems which contain uncertainties in supply chain are showed. In conclusion part, suggestions for future researches are provided based on review.

The article aims at discussing conditional Choquet expectations with respect to capacities. We introduce the concept of conditional Choquet expectation with respect to submodular capacity, and prove some properties. Moreover, we state that C-r inequality, Schwarz inequality, Holder's inequality, Minkowski inequality and Jensen's inequality still hold for this kind of conditional Choquet expectations.

Electroencephalograms (EEG) contain the information important for brain-computer interface (BCI), despite that their earlier use is limited by variations caused by background brain activity of operators as well as by artifacts. Thus achieving high accuracy of EEG classification is an important task for BCI systems. In this paper, we explore possible ways of improving the classification performance by using Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH). Specifically, we aim to find the most suitable selection criteria to be used in GMDH. The experimental results conducted on EEG representing the motor imagery indicates that the proposed criteria are capable of improving the classification performance as compared with Radial Basis networks.

Innovation is a competitive obligation for the SMEs but the needs vary by region. In this study, Turkish SMEs in Thrace region are clustered using Fuzzy C-Means which is a strong clustering tool for qualitative data, in order to compare the past and current innovational needs of SMEs. Similar questions are surveyed in 2007 and 2011 and the results are evaluated to emphasize the innovation based improvements.

Natural and human-made disasters cause humanitarian crises all around the world. When help is requested from international instances, Humanitarian logistics play an important role. Mathematical models can help to make strategic and tactical decisions in this context, when decisions must be taken in a multicriteria environment. In this work a multicriteria dynamic flow model is developed, allowing a more detailed planning of aid distribution operations than other existing static models.
