Total acquisition on grids

Knowledge Acquisition via Tracked Repertory Grids

One of the more valuable and flexible forms of knowledge acquisition is based upon the use of repertory grids. A useful extension of repertory grids can be created by providing a method of semantically linking associated constructs and repertory grids. This network of grids is a semantic network with nodes consisting of individual repertory grids and links acting as ‘tracks.’ A track is a gener...

Troika: Using Grids, Lattices and Graphs in Knowledge Acquisition

A knowledge acquisition technique called Troika is presented. Based on a combination of repertory grids, conceptual graphs and formal concept analysis, Troika is a hybrid approach that combines these three approaches. The approaches are introduced and their strengths summarized. Troika's basic algorithms are presented. Some samples from an actual acquisition process are presented to provide som...

Investigation of the Factors Affecting on Probability of Company Acquisition (Focusing on Refining and Petrochemical Companies)

Business expansions along with number of new companies being engaged in variety of industries aimed at getting bigger market share, underscored the role of corporate governance within the financial sphere. One of the important issues in corporate governance is acquisition. Due to the significant impact of companies in refining and petrochemical sectors on capital market and whole economy, their...

Day-ahead economic dispatch of coupled desalinated water and power grids with participation of compressed air energy storages

Nowadays, water and electricity are closely interdependent essential sources in human life that affect socio-economic growth and prosperity. In other words, electricity is a fundamental source to supply a seawater desalination process, while fresh water is used for cooling this power plant. Therefore, mutual vulnerability of water treatment and power generation systems is growing because of inc...
