The applications of three weighting methods namely rating, ranking, and ratio are discussed in this book. Additionally, data mining on keywords is presented using three popular scholarly databases: Science Direct, Scopus, and SciVerse. Four abbreviated keywords (MCDM, MCDA, MCA, MADM) representing multi-criteria decision-making were used and these three databases were searched for different popular weighting methods for a period of 13 years (2000-2012). The book provides also a review of weighting methods applied in various multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods and also presents survey results on priority ranking of watershed management criteria undertaken by 30 undergraduate and postgraduate students from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,$x2194-7244 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aHydrogeology 606 $aEarth System Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35000 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aHydrogeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G19005 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aHydrogeology. 615 14$aEarth System Sciences. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aHydrogeology. 676 $a55 676 $a550 676 $a551.4 676 $a553.7 700 $aZardari$b Noorul Hassan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062478 702 $aAhmed$b Kamal$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aShirazi$b Sharif Moniruzzaman$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aYusop$b Zulkifli Bin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299452203321 996 $aWeighting Methods and their Effects on Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model Outcomes in Water Resources Management$92525811 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03691nam 22005535 450 001 9910300075103321 005 20251117071628.0 010 $a1-4614-9014-6 024 7 $a10.1007/978-1-4614-9014-2 035 $a(CKB)3710000000073901 035 $a(EBL)1592547 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001067156 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11601212 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001067156 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11078837 035 $a(PQKB)10655220 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1592547 035 $a(DE-He213)978-1-4614-9014-2 035 $a(PPN)176100318 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000073901 100 $a20131126d2014 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAnal Fistula $ePrinciples and Management /$fedited by Herand Abcarian 205 $a1st ed. 2014. 210 1$aNew York, NY :$cSpringer New York :$cImprint: Springer,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (201 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a1-4614-9013-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aEpidemiology: incidence and prevalence of fistula in ano -- Applied anatomy -- Relationship of abscess to fistula -- Classification and treatment of anorectal infections -- Clinical assessment of anal fistulas -- Clinical assessment and imaging modalities of fistula in ano -- Classification and management strategies -- Seton (loose, cutting, chemical) -- Fistulotomy and lay open technique -- Fistulectomy with Primary Sphincter Reconstruction -- Fibrin sealant -- Biologic fistula plugs -- Synthetic fistula plug -- Endorectal advancement flap -- Dermal advancement flap -- Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract (LIFT) -- VAAFT -- Stem cell application in fistula disease -- Crohn's disease -- Tuberculosis fistulas -- Fistula Surgery in the Era of Evidence Based Medicine -- Causes of operative failure -- Recurrence/Persistence After Fistula Treatment: What Next?.   . 330 $aAnal Fistula: Principles and Management provides a comprehensive and state of the art review of major issues specific and related to the treatment of anal fistulas. An important section of the book covers the large number of alternative procedures which have been developed in the last two decades. Needless to say, none of these procedures have been uniformly successful, otherwise there would be no need for all the different operations. The book addresses each alternative procedure, discusses the benefits of each procedure, includes the most up-to-date results. Other important chapters cover the causes and failure of treatment and operations for fistulas. Also included is a Cochrane Review of all available randomized controlled trials with levels of evidence culled from the literature.       Written by specialists in their respective fields, Anal Fistula: Principles and Management fills a void in available texts on a subject matter very commonly encountered by surgeons, physicians and specialists.   . 606 $aRectum?Surgery  606 $aSurgery 606 $aColorectal Surgery$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H59036 606 $aGeneral Surgery$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H59044 615 0$aRectum?Surgery . 615 0$aSurgery. 615 14$aColorectal Surgery. 615 24$aGeneral Surgery. 676 $a617 702 $aAbcarian$b Herand$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300075103321 996 $aAnal Fistula$91521859 997 $aUNINA
