In the conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA), it is assumed that all decision making units (DMUs) using the same input and output measures, means that DMUs are homogeneous. In some settings, however, this usual assumption of DEA might be violated. A related problem is the problem of textit{missing} textit{data} where a DMU produces a certain output or consumes a certain input but the val...

considering the importance of cd and u as pollutants of the environment, this study aims to predict the concentrations of these elements in a stream sediment from the eshtehard region in iran by means of a developed artificial neural network (ann) model. the forward selection (fs) method is used to select the input variables and develop hybrid models by ann. from 45 input candidates, 13 and 14 ...

in this study, production, reproduction, managerial, and economic parameters obtained from data recorded for lori-bakhtiari flock of sheep (500 heads of breeding ewe) stationed at the sheep's breeding station, were employed to determine the relative economic values of and breeding objectives for an annual cycle of production, in village system in this breed of sheep. economic value for a t...

in this research، job opportunities have been examined among 26 productive sectors of iran's economy by using input-output table in 2001.from viewpoint of employment ،production and value added، the key sectors has been diagnosed by using mri ، elasticity of input-output table، backward and forward linkages and june's corrective methods. then، job opportunities has been analyzed among...

Assessment of exposure to airborne endotoxins has been studied for several years, especially in occupational environments, but a large number of procedures are used for sampling and analysis. This lack of standardization makes it very difficult to compare results and set internationally accepted threshold limit values (TLVs) or occupational exposure limits (OELs) for endotoxin exposure. This pa...

fuzzy controllers are being used in various control schemes. the aim of this work was adjusting hemodialysis machine parameters utilizing a fuzzy logic controller (flc) so that patient’s hemodynamic condition remains stable during hemodialysis treatment. for this purpose a comprehensive mathematical model of the arterial pressure response during hemodialysis, including hemodynamic, osmotic, and...
