The objective of this paper is to explore the effect of financial crisis on trade flows of steel industries in the major Asian-Pacific steel producing countries. Using a static and dynamic panel data analysis, we test the hypothesis that the global financial crisis has a negative effect on Asia-Pacific bilateral steel trade flows. We also examine the role of regional trade integration in bilate...

Topological analysis of large scale protein-protein interaction networks (PINs) is important for understanding the organizational and functional principles of individual proteins. The number of interactions that a protein has in a PIN has been observed to be correlated with its indispensability. Essential proteins generally have more interactions than the nonessential ones. We show here that th...

An efficient simulation technique was proposed to examine the thermal-fluid structure interaction in the effects of solder temperature on pin through-hole during wave soldering. This study investigated the capillary flow behavior as well as the displacement, temperature distribution, and von Mises stress of a pin passed through a solder material. A single pin through-hole connector mounted on a...

abstract the objective of this study is to investigate the long run and short run interactions between agricultural trade liberalization and shares of the two sectors of agriculture and services in the total export and import products and services of iran during the years 1961-2008. to figure out interactions, the vector correction model was used. the ratio of the sum of imports and exports to ...

determination of trade-off, which they are feasible and similar variations on all of decision making units (dmu), is important issue in data envelopment analysis (dea). in this paper, we select these trade-offs based on an external evaluation of dmus such that the correlation between external evaluation and technical evaluation resulted from dea model is maximized. in fact, we sift the trade-of...

in this paper, we present a genetic algorithm (ga) for optimization of a multi-mode resource constrained time cost trade off (mrctct) problem. the proposed ga, each activity has several operational modes and each mode identifies a possible executive time and cost of the activity. beyond earlier studies on time-cost trade-off problem, in mrctct problem, resource requirements of each execution mo...
