factor demand behavior such as energy demand has an important role in the economic analysis. this issue is a major concern in the developing countries (e.g. iran) which are benefited from vast energy resources. in this paper, the third generation of factor demand models is used to analyze the behavior of capital adjustment in the iranian manufacturing industries. the dataset covers the two-digi...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a managerial powerful tool for assess the performance of decision making units (dmus). nowadays, multi-objective dea models are an attractive technique for evaluation quantity and quality aspects of performance analysis. but these models are in static. in this paper, we want to present a proposed fuzzy dynamic multi-objective dea model in which data are changi...

Purpose: One of the most significant contributors to lower extremity degeneration alterations and its effects on balance and sports performance is dynamic knee valgus faulty movement pattern. Different exercise interventions have been conducted to improve dynamic knee valgus. The extensive research and meta-objective analysis aimed to assess how exercise interventions affected people with dynam...

In order to investigate the dynamic response of reinforced concrete spatial frames caused by initial damages, a six-story frame model is analyzed by employing the nonlinear dynamic methodology in accordance with the alternate path method issued by General Services Administration. In this paper, the fiber model and force-based beam-column element are utilized in OpenSees. Four various scenarios ...

The seismic response assessment of rocking systems via Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) is investigated, focusing on the issues that arise in analysis and postprocessing stages. Rocking IDA curves generally differ from those hysteretic structural due to (i) frequent appearance resurrections; (ii) their highly weaving non-monotonic behavior; (iii) overall high variability. Hence, including or ...

introduction: in this study the automatic separation of oral and salivary gland activity and spontaneous secretion by means of factor analysis for quantitative salivary gland scintigraphy is introduced. methods: after intravenous administration of 99mtc sodium pertechnetate, dynamic scintigraphy was performed. 20 minutes after tracer application 2 ml of lemon juice was delivered to stimulate t...
