A mechanism for stochastic decision making by bacteria.

چکیده
What mechanism underlies the induction of the lac operon? Expression from the lac operon is an all-or-none phenomenon. Recent work by Choi et al. combines single-molecule imaging of gene expression with single-cell induction measurements to develop a stochastic model describing the critical role of single lac-repressor molecules in induction.

Designing a new multi-objective fuzzy stochastic DEA model in a dynamic environment to estimate efficiency of decision making units (Case Study: An Iranian Petroleum Company)
This paper presents a new multi-objective fuzzy stochastic data envelopment analysis model (MOFS-DEA) under mean chance constraints and common weights to estimate the efficiency of decision making units for future financial periods of them. In the initial MOFS-DEA model, the outputs and inputs are characterized by random triangular fuzzy variables with normal distribution, in which ...
متن کاملStochastic Decision Making in Manufacturing Environments
Decision making plays an important role in economics, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, statistics and many other fields. In each field, decision making consists of identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues that define the decision. In any field, the nature of the decisions is affected by environmental characteristics. In this paper, we are considered the production planning pro...
متن کاملA two-level discount model for coordinating a decentralized supply chain considering stochastic price-sensitive demand
In this paper, a discount model is proposed to coordinate pricing and ordering decisions in a two-echelon supply chain (SC). Demand is stochastic and price sensitive while lead times are fixed. Decentralized decision making where downstream decides on selling price and order size is investigated. Then, joint pricing and ordering decisions are extracted where both members act as a single entity ...
متن کاملA generalized super-efficiency model for ranking extreme efficient DMUs in stochastic DEA
In this current study a generalized super-efficiency model is first proposed for ranking extreme efficient decision making units (DMUs) in stochastic data envelopment analysis (DEA) and then, a deterministic (crisp) equivalent form of the stochastic generalized super-efficiency model is presented. It is shown that this deterministic model can be converted to a quadratic programming model. So fa...
متن کاملDecision making in forest management with consideration of stochastic prices
The optimal harvesting policy is calculated as a function of the entering stock, the price state, the harvesting cost, and the rate of interest in the capital market. In order to determine the optimal harvest schedule, the growth function and stumpage price process are estimated for the Swedish mixed species forests. The stumpage price is assumed to follow a stochastic Markov process. A stoch...
متن کاملCoordination of Pricing, Ordering, and Lead time Decisions in a Manufacturing Supply Chain
In this paper, an incentive policy is proposed to coordinate ordering, lead time, and pricing strategies in a two-echelon manufacturing supply chain (SC) consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. The system is faced with a stochastic demand which depends on both price and lead time. The manufacturer decides on production size and manufacturing acceleration rate while the retailer determi...
