Business processes are constantly affected by the environment in which they execute. The environment can change due to seasonal and financial trends. For organisations it is crucial to understand their processes and to be able to estimate the effects of these trends on the processes. Business process simulation is a way to investigate the performance of a business process and to analyse the pro...

Suppose that we have one run of n observations of a stochastic process by means of computer simulation and would like to construct a condifence interval for the steady-state mean of the process. Seeking for independent observations, so that the classical statistical methods could be applied, we can divide the n observations into k batches of length m (n= k.m) or alternatively, transform the cor...

in this article, vehicle cornering stability and brake stabilization via bifurcation analysis has been investigated. in order to extract the governing equations of motion, a nonlinear four-wheeled vehicle model with two degrees of freedom has been developed. using the continuation software package matcont a stability analysis based on phase plane analysis and bifurcation of equilibrium is perfo...

pavement design using mechanistic-empirical methods is often carried out based on the some assumptions for pavement layer's properties (thickness, elastic modulus, poisson's ratio and ….), loading properties(axial weight, tire coordinates, number of repetitions and …) and also the failure mechanism for different materials. fulfillment of these assumptions for evolution of pavement performance d...

The purpose of this research was to study the recognition, application and quantification of the risks associated in managing projects. In this research, the management of risks in an oil and gas project is studied and implemented within a case company in Oman. In this study, at first, the qualitative data related to risks in the project were identified through field visits and extensive interv...

in this study, a one-dimensional model called dyresm was used to simulate the thermal structure and artificial destratification of 15-khordad reservoir over a period of one year. the simulation showed that the reservoir is warm monomictic and is stratified during 210 days of the simulation year. the model reproduced the temperature of the meta- and hypolimnion very close to the observed data, b...

Researchers often rely on analysis of variance (ANOVA) when they report results experiments. To ensure that a study is adequately powered to yield informative with an ANOVA, researchers can perform priori power analysis. However, for factorial ANOVA designs challenge. Current software solutions do not allow analyses complex several within-participants factors. Moreover, need [Formula: see text]...
