The Impact

Under the impact of the government’s policies to expand domestic demand and maintain economic growth, the western area acquired a large amount of funding for infrastructure construction. The high-grade highways became the key project attracting investment because of its great development potential and strong transportation adaptability. However, the special geographical conditions in the western area created numerous barriers for the construction of high-grade highways, including many investment influencing factors, great investment risks and uncertainties, and high difficulty in defining the investment effect. In view of the goals in technical advancement and economic rationality for the investment scheme of high-grade highways, the possible influencing factors of the investment scheme decision-making of the high-grade highways in western China were first given comprehensive analysis. Through literature review and field investigation, 67 influencing factors of investment scheme decision-making were determined by the cost decomposition method and expert investigation method. Then, the influence degree of each factor was analyzed by using the Delphi method and entropy method. According to the sorting results, 49 important factors were reserved as the detailed index for investment scheme decision-making. Afterwards, the index system for investment scheme decision-making consisting of 2 target factors, 5 first-level indexes, 13 second-level indexes, and 49 third-level indexes was constructed. Based on this, the decision-making model of investment scheme for high-grade highways was established by combining Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and grey theory. Specially, the standardized index matrix of investment scheme was determined by AHP, and the relation degree of each scheme was calculated by grey correlation degree, and then the optimal scheme was shaped by the size of comprehensive relation degree. Finally, the grey correlation degree decision-making model of the investment scheme was applied to a highway project located in Gansu province, China. The results showed that the optimal investment scheme determined by the decision model was consistent with the scheme actually adopted, indicating that the model has good operability and practicability. In this paper, a grey correlation degree decision-making model of investment scheme for high-grade highways in western China was proposed, providing an effective theoretical basis and valuable practical experience for the investment scheme decision-making of transportation infrastructure under special environments.

Abstract With the rapid development of power grid construction, appropriate maintenance can bring great benefits to the electricity company. On the contrary, it will cause sacrifices, even effect the development of economy. Thus, electrical equipment condition-based maintenance plays a key role to assure healthy operation of electrical equipment and improve power supply reliability. Under the background, in this paper, we combine the Cloud Model with TOPSIS which is improved by Grey Correlation Theory and propose a new decision-making method for electrical equipment condition-based maintenance. In this method, Cloud Model is used to solve the fuzziness and randomness of uncertain linguistic sets in the progress of decision-making. At the same time, we integrate the grey correlation degree into TOPSIS, and calculate the comprehensive relative closeness. Through the numerical example and comparing the sensitivity of some related methods about decision-making, the method in this is proved to be credibility. The basis of electrical equipment condition-based maintenance decision-making can be provided and supply dispatcher decision-making reference when arrange the CBM plan.

The Impact

Objectives: The Mental Health Act 2007 (NSW) ( MHA) was recently reformed in light of the recovery movement and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. We analyse the changes and describe the impact that these reforms should have upon clinical practice. Conclusions: The principles of care and treatment added to the MHA place a strong onus on clinicians to monitor patients’ decision-making capacity, institute a supported decision-making model and obtain consent to any treatment proposed. Patients competently refusing treatment should only be subject to involuntary treatment in extraordinary circumstances. Even when patients incompetently refuse treatment, clinicians must make every effort reasonably practicable to tailor management plans to take account of any views and preferences expressed by them or made known via friends, family or advance statements.

The Impact

In the current era of urban development, people are already using electric vehicles more and more often for transport purposes, which reduces negative impacts on the environment. However, there are still vehicles in towns and cities that run on ordinary internal combustion engines. Performing optimization measures on the operation of these vehicles improves their performance, which can result in positive sustainable development effects. This article presents measures to reduce the wear and tear of urban vehicles and outlines a decision model to determine which of the vehicle parts described suffer the most frequent wear and tear under urban conditions. The article presents a list of structural elements that are most affected by urban traffic, as well as corrective actions to improve such specialized vehicles. Based on the decision analysis, Rule 1 was eliminated as having the least significant impact on vehicle wear and tear, and the least significant impact on urban safety. On the other hand, the most worn-out elements were found to be gearboxes, clutches, bus levelling electronics, and brake pads and discs. The decision-making model made it possible to identify the factors which have the greatest impact on reducing safety in urban spaces.
