Risk management is one of the most important phases of project management and isthe most recently used by many researchers. In this paper, a fuzzy based method wasproposed which identifies different kinds of risks through the project life cycle.Then, the project risk magnitude can be obtained in regards to five factors, namely“severity”, “occurrence”, and “not detection” which form fuzzy FMEA a...

T   he completed MCI includes three main channels of interest rate, exchange rate and credit rate. In developing countries such as Iran, this indicator, which contains a credit channel, could be better used to illustrate the country’s monetary condition. This study has been done to calculate this index for the period of 1978–2012. For this purpose, the function of the total economy demand ...

Shafer [1] defined weights of evidence and the weight of internal conflict for separable support functions. He also formulated a conjecture, the weight-ofconflict conjecture, which implies that these definitions can be extended in a natural way to all support functions. In this paper I show that the extension to support functions can be carried out whether or not the weight-of-conflict conjectu...

Conversational feedback is mostly performed through short utterances such as yeah, mhmm, okay not produced by the main speaker but by one of the other participants of a conversation. Such utterances are among the most frequent in conversational data. They also have been described in psycho-linguistic models of communication as a crucial communicative tool for achieving coordination or alignment...

land-use spatial allocation is a multi-objective collaborative spatial optimization methodfor rational use of the land use. based on global search capabilities and the information feedbackmechanism of ant colony optimization (aco), a land-use spatial allocation model (aco-la) isproposed. firstlyfirst, a construction graph is built for modeling the land-use spatial allocationproblem. secondlysec...
