However, rerouting on a route specific basis is neither simple nor necessarily effe...

In this paper, we discuss the decision situation where the (vague) preferences are represented by fuzzy relations. There are two ways to interpret this situation: (i) an individual decision maker chooses perfect rankings from a set and uses that combination of rankings as her/his preference ranking. (ii) or a group of decision makers are reporting perfect rankings but their group decision is a ...

During this season, due to high running costs of the slewing loader,an exercise wascarriedout to compare the slewing loader and the hi-capacity Bell loaders. The slewing loader in use at the time was the model with high lift boom mounted on a Ford 6600, modified with a Brockhouse torque converter. The comparison revealed that, under the conditions obtaining at Mgayi section, the Bell loader was...

Ifocus in . . . this article on the social geography . . . of the McDonaldization of society. This, of course, is based on Max Weber’s famous work on rationalization and his vision of the social world as being increasingly encased in an “iron cage” of rationalization. This metaphor can be interpreted in various ways, but one that has not been explored systematically is from the perspective of s...

In mechanical engineering and architecture, structural elements with low material consumption and high loadbearing capabilities are essential for light-weight and even self-supporting constructions. This paper deals with so called point-folding elements – non-planar, pyramidal panels, usually formed from thin metal sheets, which exploit the increased structural capabilities emerging from folds ...
