Design of Task Evaluation Procedures Using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method | Chapter 4 | Current Topics on Business, Economics and Finance Vol. 1

 Decision making is a crucial component of the work that teachers do in evaluating their students. To eliminate subjective effects, the teacher can employ the hierarchical decision-making process. The presented chapter describes the decision-making method, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), constructing the matrix of pair-wise comparison and calculation of the eigenvector of the pair-wise matrix using well know Microsoft Excel utilities. On the basis of short examples pertaining to the consistency of the pair-wise matrix, the AHP method's steps are outlined. These assignment grading procedures can be used by the teacher as a helpful tool for evaluating student work.

Design of an Algorithm Regarding Analytic Hierarchy Process| Chapter 14 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 4

In the context of environmental, social, political, and other circumstances, people make three sorts of judgements to indicate importance, preference, or likelihood and use them to pick the best among choices. They make these decisions based on recalled information or analysis of advantages, costs, and dangers. We can occasionally construct standards of excellence and poorness based on prior information and use them to rank the choices one by one. This is important in instances when established norms must be followed, such as student admissions and wage increases. Without standards, one compares rather than rates options. Comparisons must be consistent within a reasonable range. The rating and comparison procedures are both included in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). To decide the optimum choice, rationality necessitates the creation of a trustworthy hierarchic structure or feedback network that contains criteria of many forms of impact, stakeholders, and decision alternatives [8].


The AHP technique was applied by Saaty and other writers in a wide range of human activity areas, including planning, business, education, health-care, and so on, but especially in management. In this work, we present two additional proofs for the well-known assertion that for the eigenvector problem Aw = w, the maximal eigenvalue, max, equals n. the solution vector w that represents the probability components of discontinuous occurrences, and the consistent matrix of pairwise comparisons of type n × n (n ≥ 2) We also provide an approach for determining the eigenvalue issue solution Aw = nw, as well as a flowchart to go with it. It is simple to design and apply the algorithm for arbitrary consistent matrix A.

A Study to Adapt Raw Clay Housing to Climate Change: The Locust Bean Tree (Parkia biglobosa) was Used as Protective Material | Chapter 13 | Advanced Aspects of Engineering Research Vol. 16

 Raw clay has been utilised in the construction of houses since antiquity and is still used today. Traditional habitat, which consists of a variety of structures strewn around our planet, serves as proof. Rain water wash, as well as any other maladies that may affect unprotected earthen walls, is a severe concern that must be carefully considered. This is why this research into the protection mechanisms for these kinds of walls is so fascinating. Low walls made of raw clay mixed with composite protective elements (both traditional and modern) were subjected to significant flooding in this experiment described in this article. According to the findings of the tests reviewed through the efficiency of the protecting materials, the locust bean tree (local tree) fruit husk extract used to raw clay mortar and properly mixed appears to provide superior ability to protect walls from water assault. In addition, consistency and plasticity tests revealed that the clay material properties had improved.

According to studies, the decoction of Parkia biglobosa (néré) pods is high in tannins such as gallic acid, epicatechin gallate, and epigallocatechin.
