Interdiction problem as a tool to identify an effective budget allocation to quality improvement plans
In the face of budgetary limitations in organizations, identifying critical facilities for investing in quality improvement plans could be a sensible approach. In this paper, hierarchical facilities with specified covering radius are considered. If disruption happens to a facility, its covering radius will be decreased. For this problem, a bi-objective mathematical formulation is proposed. Crit...
متن کاملA consumer’s guide to nestedness analysis
Nestedness analysis has become increasingly popular in the study of biogeographic patterns of species occurrence. Nested patterns are those in which the species composition of small assemblages is a nested subset of larger assemblages. For species interaction networks such as plant pollinator webs, nestedness analysis has also proven a valuable tool for revealing ecological and evolutionary con...
متن کاملNestedness and τ - temperature in ecological networks
The τ -temperature is a measure of disorder of bipartite networks that is based on the total Manhattan distance of the adjacency matrix. Two proper ties of this measure are that it does not depend on permutations of lines or columns that have the same connectivity and it is completely determined by connectivities of lines and columns. The normalisation of τ is done by an uni form random matri...
متن کاملThe ghost of nestedness in ecological networks.
Ecologists are fascinated by the prevalence of nestedness in biogeographic and community data, where it is thought to promote biodiversity in mutualistic systems. Traditionally, nestedness has been treated in a binary sense: species and their interactions are either present or absent, neglecting information on abundances and interaction frequencies. Extending nestedness to quantitative data fac...
متن کاملhistory as a tool to identify stray coins: case study of reza abbasi museum
hundreds of stray coins are being donated every year to different iranian museums but it is difficult to establish their authenticities due to lack of knowledge about places of their findings. part of these stray metallic pieces is related to parthians. due to their lengthy rule, of about five centuries, parthian coins form important part of numismatic collection at the museums. authors have ta...
