A stock exchange is an entity which provides ‘‘trading’’ facilities for stock brokers and traders to trade stocks and other securities. How to invest in stock exchange is one of the important issues in investment, and one of the factors that can help investors in the process of investment is the efficiency of the corporation under consideration. Data envelopment analysis is a mathematical method...

We introduce a new force-directed model for computing graph layout. The model bridges the two more popular force directed approaches – the stress and the electrical-spring models – through the binary stress cost function, which is a carefully defined energy function with low descriptive complexity allowing fast computation via a Barnes-Hut scheme. This allows us to overcome optimization pitfall...

Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) is a multi-variable problem with nonlinear constraints and continuous/discrete decision variables. Due to the stochastic behavior of loads, the ORPD requires a probabilistic mathematical model. In this paper, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is used for modeling of load uncertainties in the ORPD problem. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear constrained mul...

Abstract An approach to digitally model the decorative elements window’s of architectural heritage—the College Nobles, Turin—in HBIM, by applying De Luca’s method. The strategy is transform them into mathematical ratios and parameters in order create flexible adaptable models that can generate variations.

The impact of financial challenges on the profit of a supply chain, have caused the researcher to model the supply chain network by considering the operational and financial dimensions. Also, the establishment of a closed loop supply chain (CLSC) network has a high effect on economic profit. So, the purpose of this study is to design a stochastic closed loop supply chain network by considering ...

This study was undertaken to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies of mortality in Parkinson's disease (PD) and to investigate which factors were associated with mortality. We conducted comprehensive searches of studies reporting a ratio of mortality in PD versus controls, descriptive survival measures, or factors predicting survival; assessed study quality; and extracted rel...
