Soft or Approaches
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is an inquiry into the nature and characteristics of the so-called soft approaches in Operational Research (OR). After a first outline of soft approaches, six wellknown and widely applied soft approaches are selected for further study and characterisation applying a multi-dimensional framework. In addition, some reflexions about the limitations of such a framework are discussed.

the aim of this study was to assess different surgical approaches of supracondylar fracture in 31 children.the surgical approches consisted of anteromedial (16 cases),posterior (13 cases) and anterolateral (2 cases). the rate of persistent complications was higher in the posterior approach.the most common complication eas soft tissue atrophy in posterior of elbow (69%) followed by limitation of...
متن کاملAPPLICATIONS OF SOFT SETS IN HILBERT ALGEBRAS
The concept of soft sets, introduced by Molodtsov [20] is a mathematicaltool for dealing with uncertainties, that is free from the difficultiesthat have troubled the traditional theoretical approaches. In this paper, weapply the notion of the soft sets of Molodtsov to the theory of Hilbert algebras.The notion of soft Hilbert (abysmal and deductive) algebras, soft subalgebras,soft abysms and sof...
متن کاملAssessment of Structure-Specific Fragility Curves for Soft Storey Buildings Implementing IDA and SPO Approaches
Soft storey building is popular due to the functional and aesthetic purpose, despite its weakness in resisting seismic excitation. Nonlinear Static (Pushover) Analysis (POA) is a time saving and simple assessment procedure prosposed in Eurocode 8 (EC8). However, its reliability in designing structure still remains a question. At the first stage, seismic performance of several building models us...
متن کاملEstimating scour below inverted siphon structures using stochastic and soft computing approaches
This paper uses nonlinear regression, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Genetic Programming (GP) approaches for predicting an important tangible issue i.e. scours dimensions downstream of inverted siphon structures. Dimensional analysis and nonlinear regression-based equations was proposed for estimation of maximum scour depth, location of the scour hole, location and height of the dune downs...
متن کاملA note on soft topological spaces
This paper demonstrates the redundancies concerning the increasing popular ``soft set" approaches to general topologies. It is shown that there is a complement preserving isomorphism (preserving arbitrary $widetilde{bigcup}$ and arbitrary $widetilde{bigcap}$) between the lattice ($mathcal{ST}_E(X,E),widetilde{subset}$) of all soft sets on $X$ with the whole parameter set $E$ as domains and the ...

A 68 year old lady visited a surgeon due to swelling of her right thigh for about three months. A mass was detected on examining the thigh. She had developed a mass in her right groin about three years ago, which was reported as a necrotizing lymph node. Her thigh mass was biopsid surgically, and subsequent histopathologic study supplemented by immunohistochemistry confirmed the presenc...
