the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach
abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
15 صفحه اولGaining Insight into the Prevention of Maternal Death Using Narrative Analysis: An Experience from Kerman, Iran
Reduction in maternal mortality requires an in-depth knowledge of the causes of death. This study was conducted to explore the circumstances and events leading to maternal mortality through a holistic approach. Using narrative text analysis, all documents related to maternal deaths occurred from 2007 to 2011 in Kerman province/Iran were reviewed thoroughly by an expert panel. A 93-item chart ab...
متن کاملSeismic site effects in a deep alluvial basin: numerical analysis by the boundary element method
The main purpose of the paper is the numerical analysis of seismic site effects in Caracas (Venezuela). The analysis is performed considering the Boundary Element Method in the frequency domain. A numerical model including a part of the local topography is considered, it involves a deep alluvial deposit on an elastic bedrock. The amplification of seismic motion (SH-waves, weak motion) is analyz...
متن کاملGeometric Seismic-Wave Inversion by the Boundary Element Method
Surface-wave methods are widely used in earth sciences and engineering for the geometric characterization of geological bodies and tectonic structures of the subsurface. These techniques exploit the dispersive nature of Rayleigh waves to indirectly estimate shear wave velocity profiles from surface-wave measurements; however, they are limited to parallel-layered geometries. To overcome such lim...
متن کاملA new method for gaining insight into the chemistry of drying mineral surfaces using ATR-FTIR.
Although it is understood that the chemical environment at a drying surface is likely to be quite different from that at a fully hydrated surface, the difficulty of quantitative measurement has meant that this potentially crucial aspect of surface chemistry has gone largely overlooked. As a result, most of our understanding comes from measurement before and after drying, with a gray region of s...
