Developing the infrastructures for preventing non-communicable diseases is one of the most important goals of healthcare context in recent years. In this regard, the number and capacity of preventive healthcare facilities as well as assignment of customers to facilities should be determined for each region. Besides the accessibility, the utility of customers is a determinative factor in partici...

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 ...

History matching is used to constrain flow simulations and reduce uncertainty in forecasts. In this work, we revisited some fundamental engineering tools for predicting waterflooding behavior to better understand the flaws in our simulation and thus find some models which are more accurate with better matching. The Craig-Geffen-Morse (CGM) analytical method was used to predict recovery performa...

Objective: The current research is to investigate the relation between deterministic thinking and mental health among drug abusers, in which the role of  cognitive distortions is considered and clarified by focusing on deterministic thinking. Methods: The present study is descriptive and correlative. All individuals with experience of drug abuse who had been referred to the Shafagh Reha...

Here, we consider single vendor-buyer model with multi-product and multi-customer and multi-facility location-production-distribution problem. It is assumed that the players of the supply chain are coordinated by sharing information. Vendor manufactures produce different products at different plants with limited capacities and then distribute the products to the consumers according to determini...

in this paper, a stochastic two-stage model is offered for optimization of the day-ahead scheduling of the microgrid. system uncertainties including dispatchable distributed generation and energy storage contingencies are considered in the stochastic model. for handling uncertainties, monte carlo simulation is employed for generation several scenarios and then a reduction method is used to d...

This paper develops a pricing and inventory model of a supply chain composing one supplier and two manufacturers in which the supplier sells its product to two competing manufacturers. Each manufacturer faces a deterministic demand that depends on his/her own and the other competitor sale price. Selling price for the supplier is time dependent and increment function.Both amelioration and deteri...
