inventory control problem is one of the problems in decision making and management that contains non-crisp parameters in real world. economic production quantity (epq) model in fuzzy environment has been studied so far by many researchers. one of the main assumptions in all previous researches was neglecting the inventory shortage. in this research, a new multi-item epq model with fuzzy random ...

the growth in demand for electric power and the rapid increase in fuel costs, in whole of theworld need to discover new energy resources for electricity production. among of the nonconventionalresources, wind and solar energy, is known as the most promising deviceselectricity production in the future. in this thesis, we study follows to long-term generationscheduling of power systems in the pre...

the purpose of this paper is to estimate the welfare cost of inflation in iran. we first use the long-horizon regression approach developed by fisher and seater (1993) to obtain an estimate of the inflation rate elasticity of money demand and then the baily’s consumer surplus approach to calculate the welfare cost function. the results show that reducing inflation rate from 40% to 0% increases ...

the real world is full of uncertainties and parameters such as demand cannot be determined exactly. in this case, using crisp (exact) values and statistical methods due to absence of sufficient information, seems unwise. so in this paper, an approach is presented for using fuzzy numbers in continues review policy related decision-making. in this supply chain, there are two enterprises, a and b ...

Total knee arthroplasty is a safe last-resort treatment for osteoarthritis that has excellent results in low-function-demand elderly patients. Current implants offer the same results in high-function-demand patients. However, supportive data do not exist.One-year Krackow Activity Scores (KAS) of 552 patients from 2 prospective studies were used to retrospectively determine low- and high-functio...

In this study a modified entropy-based measure is presented for evaluating the serviceability level of water distribution networks in which the hydraulic uncertainties (flow rates in pipes) as well as the uncertainties due to mechanical parameters (failure probabilities of links) are considered simultaneously. In the proposed entropy calculation method, the connectivity order of the network dem...
