we compare two approaches for a markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (fmss) using monte carlo simulation. the model which is a development of fazlollahtabar and saidi-mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (agv) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of agvs in a multiple agv jobsho...

The probable lack of some arcs and nodes in the stochastic networks is considered in this paper, and its effect is shown as the arrival probability from a given source node to a given sink node. A discrete time Markov chain with an absorbing state is established in a directed acyclic network. Then, the probability of transition from the initial state to the absorbing state is computed. It is as...

A theoretical study of the kinetics and mechanism of second-order intermolecular C.) cloadd it ion of 2-Ethyny1-2,3-Dihydrofurane and Phenyl Azide was performed using DFT method at 101.111 le) cl of theory with 6-31 PrEG(d,p) basis set at 298.15K. Equilibrium molecular geometries and harmonic ) ihrational frequencies ofthe reactants, transition state, and product were calculated. The kinetic an...

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the psychological state of women and its associated factors in the third trimester of pregnancy and at eight weeks postpartum and to explore the changes in psychological state between these two time points. Material and Methods: This survey study was carried out on 358 pregnant women visiting urban health centers in Shahroud, northeast Iran, ...

We investigate the Cerium – isostructural phase transition by explicitly incorporating finite temperature mixing of the Ce nonmagnetic and magnetic states. Unique to our approach is the calculation of vibrational properties from phonon theory. The critical behavior of the transition is shown to be controlled by the configurational mixing entropy between the magnetic and nonmagnetic states. Our ...

legal capital refers to the disciplinary spirit governing the relations among citizens within the frameworks defined by societies’ statutory and customary law. based on the present view, any social development is meaningless within a society which lacks legal capital, i.e. legal capital is formed in societies where the rule of law is previously established. therefore, rule of law indicates a su...

We have used a variational approach to calculate some thermodynamic properties of the quasi-one dimensional liquid 3He such as the energy, entropy, free energy, equation of state and heat capacity at finite temperature. We have employed the Lennard-Jones potential as the inter-atomic interaction. We have seen that the total energy increases by increasing both temperature and density....
