Towards a multi-level and a multi-disciplinary approach to DNA oncovirus virulence

A Multi-Level Capacity Approach to the Hub and Spoke Network

The existing works considering the flow-based discount factor in the hub and spoke problems, assume that increasing the amount of flow passing through each edge of network continuously decreases the unit flow transportation cost. Although a higher volume of flow allows for using wider links and consequently cheaper transportation, but the unit of flow enjoys more discounts, quite like replacing...

A location-allocation model in the multi-level supply chain with multi-objective evolutionary approach

In the current competitive conditions, all the manufacturers’ efforts are focused on increasing the customer satisfaction as well as reducing the production and delivery costs; thus, there is an increasing concentration on the structure and principles of supply chain (SC). Accordingly, the present research investigated simultaneous optimization of the total costs of a chain and customer satisfa...

Mental handicap: a multi-disciplinary approach

Delivering cancer services: a multi-disciplinary approach

The article by Lim [1] on the development of oncology services in Malaysia was both insightful and comprehensive. It is interesting to read that cancer services are growing from strength to strength, with a national cancer institute planned. The field of oncology has been transformed over the last few decades with a proliferation in technological advances and a revolution occurring in molecular...

A Stochastic Approach to Multi-disciplinary Aircraft Analysis and Design

Within the context of multi-disciplinary aircraft analysis and design, a new approach has been formulated and described which allows for the rapid technical feasibility and economic viability assessment of multiattribute, multi-constrained designs. The approach, referred to here as Virtual Stochastic Life Cycle Design, facilitates the multi-disciplinary consideration of a system, accounting for...
