MULTI-CRITERIA SITE SELECTION FOR FIRE SERVICES: THE INTERACTION WITH ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Multi-criteria site selection for fire services: the interaction with analytic hierarchy process and geographic information systems

This study combines AHP and GIS to provide decision makers with a model to ensure optimal site location(s) for fire stations selected.The roles of AHP and GIS in determining optimal locations are explained, criteria for site selection are outlined, and case study results for finding the optimal fire station locations in Istanbul, Turkey are include

Elevated levels of the polo kinase Cdc5 override the Mec1/ATR checkpoint in budding yeast by acting at different steps of the signaling pathway.

Checkpoints are surveillance mechanisms that constitute a barrier to oncogenesis by preserving genome integrity.Loss of checkpoint function is an early event in tumorigenesis.Polo kinases (Plks) are fundamental regulators of cell cycle progression in all eukaryotes and are frequently overexpressed in tumors.Through their polo box domain, Plks targe
