In this study, tactical decisions considering the material and financial flows in a supply chain have been made. To achieve these aims and some effective solutions, a multi-objective mathematical model proposed for an integrated supply chain master planning problem. The multi-product, multi-period and capacitated supply chain network has three objective functions. Two first objective functions ...

We use a panel of more than 100 countries for the period 1980 to 2002 to analyse the relationship between inward foreign direct investment (FDI) and wage inequality. We particularly check whether this relationship is non-linear, in line with a theoretical discussion. We find that the effect of FDI differs according to the level of development: we depict two different patterns, one for OECD (dev...

–This paper presents a highly linear Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) that combines two linearization techniques, one with adaptive biasing of differential pairs and second with resistive source degeneration. The Operational Transconductance Amplifier has ±0.9v power supply. Operational Transconductance Amplifier has been simulated with TANNER 0.18μm CMOS technology in Tspice. The s...

Fuzziness is ever presented in real life decision making problems. In this paper, we adapt the pessimistic approach tostudy a pair of linear primal-dual problem under intuitionistic fuzzy (I-fuzzy) environment and prove certain dualityresults. We generate the duality results using exponential membership and non-membership functions to represent thedecision maker’s satisfaction and dissatisfacti...

General recent techniques in fault detection and isolation (FDI) are based on H∞ optimization methods to address the issue of robustness in the presence of disturbances, uncertainties and modeling errors. Recently developed linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization methods are currently used to design controllers and filters, which present several advantages over the Riccati equation-based de...
