A New Approach in Preliminary Design of Closed Loop Solar Thermal Systems (RESEARCH NOTE)

A new multi-product closed-loop supply chain network design in dairy industry

Nowadays, manufacturers need to satisfy consumer demands in order to compete in the real world. This requires the efficient operation of supply chain planning. On the other hand, increasing worldwide environmental, lack of food resources and social concerns are motivating manufacturers and consumers to implement recycling strategies such as product recovery, waste management, or usage of recycl...

A New Approach for Knowledge Based Systems Reduction using Rough Sets Theory (RESEARCH NOTE)

Problem of knowledge analysis for decision support system is the most difficult task of information systems. This paper presents a new approach based on notions of mathematical theory of Rough Sets to solve this problem. Using these concepts a systematic approach has been developed to reduce the size of decision database and extract reduced rules set from vague and uncertain data. The method ha...

Considering Pricing Problem in a Dynamic and Integrated Design of Sustainable Closed-loop Supply Chain Network

Flexible and dynamic supply chain network design problem has been studied by many researchers during past years. Since integration of short-term and long-term decisions in strategic planning leads to more reliable plans, in this paper a multi-objective model for a sustainable closed-loop supply chain network design problem is proposed. The planning horizon of this model contains multiple strate...

Selection of Design Events in Tidally Affected Detention Pond Systems (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this paper the development of a single set of design parameters of the sizing of the tidally affected detention pond system was analyzed and tested. The approach uses critical duration single storm event of specified return period, together with a single harmonic tide. The design flood level is then the aggregate of the levels obtained using the system model with the four phase lags between ...

A Note on Closed Loop Adaptive

Given the mean limit ODE for the stochastic approximation deening the adaptive algorithm for a closed loop ANC, we characterize the limit points. Under appropriate conditions, it is shown that as the dimension of the weight vector increases, the sequence of corresponding limit points converges in the sense of l2 to the innnite dimensional optimal weight vector. Also, the limit point of the algo...
