Recently, applications of cooperative game theory to economic allocation problems have gained popularity. We investigate a class of cooperative games that generalizes some economic applications with a similar structure. These are the so-called line-graph games being cooperative TU-games in which the players are linearly ordered. Examples of situations that can be modeled like this are sequencin...

This work presents dispatching strategies based on methods of job-flow and application-level scheduling in virtual organizations of distributed computational environments with non-dedicated resources. Job-flow management is implemented with the set of specific rules for resource usage. Applications are considered as parallel jobs. Strategies are based on economic scheduling models and diverse a...

In this paper, we give a survey of applications of control theory to the analysis of economic policy problems. We discuss applications of closed-loop control and of optimum control theory, including deterministic, stochastic and decentralized optimum control. A critical evaluation of these approaches shows that for an empirically useful theory of economic policy, the application of dynamic game...

a laser is a collimated single wavelength of light which delivers a concentrated source of energy. soon after different types of lasers were invented, investigators began to examine the effects of different wavelengths of laser energy on oral tissues, routine dental procedures and experimental applications. orthodontists, along with other specialist in different fields of dentistry, can now ben...

background: attendance management is one of the most important issues in the educational institutions. the traditional method for attendance recording is manually recording by professors in the school or university which is associated with several problems. we proposed the design and utilization of an electronic application for students’ attendance recording via smartphones and pcs. methods: th...

economic development's driving force in each country is usually industrial development based on the advantages of the country. iran is ranked number two globally in oil and gas resources. aluminum industry is the most important energy consuming industry. aluminum is one of the strategic metals which is produced through electrolysis and is named as energy storage. due to its outstanding pr...

The ecosystem services (ES) concept is one of the main avenues for conveying society’s dependence on natural ecosystems. On-ground applications of the concept are now widespread and diverse and include its use as a communication tool, for policy guidance and priority setting, and for designing economic instruments for conservation. Each application raises ethical considerations beyond tradition...

In most developing countries, biotechnological applications relating to livestock need to be suitable for animal owners who are resource-poor small-scale operators who own little or no land and few animals. Livestock is becoming increasingly important to economic growth in developing countries and the application of biotechnology is largely dictated by commercial considerations and socio-econom...
