the optimization model for evaluating regional and global effects of greenhouse gases reductionpolicies named merge is an actively usable tool for studying some aspects of the problem of climate change.it is first of all destined for the quantitative estimation of emission trajectories and results of applyingabatement measures. in the paper, the emphasis is on the adaptation of the integrated a...

the realization optimality theory is a recent development in the original optimality theory which is proposed to deal with morphological issues especially the inflectional ones. its main idea is to consider the morphological realization rules as ranked violable language-specific constraints that control the realization processes and provide phonological information of grammatical morphemes. thi...

In this study, an inexact stochastic fuzzy programming (ISFP) model is proposed for land-use allocation (LUA) and environmental/ecological planning at a watershed level, where uncertainties associated with land-use parameters, benefit functions, and environmental/ecological requirements are described as discrete intervals, probabilities and fuzzy sets. In this model, an interval stochastic fuzz...

Supplier selection and material procurement planning are the most important issues in supply chain management. This decision is complicated when the buyers face with discount price schemes. In real situation, each supplier may apply different methods such as different types of discount schedules and various types of payment in order to increase market share. In this situation, buyers try to sel...

emphasis on milk yield (my) as well as milk yield persistency (myp) and calving interval (ci) is necessary to achieve more sustainable productionin dairy cattle. therefore the main objective of this study was to find an optimum regression model to estimate economic values for my, myp and ci.using a deterministic bio-economic model, seventyfiveproduction states differing mainly in my, mypand ciw...

We find that imposing economic constraint on stock return forecasts based the Interquartile Range of equity premium can significantly strengthen predictive performance. Specifically, we construct a judgment mechanism truncates outliers in return. prove our approach realize more accurate information relative to unconstraint from perspective statistics and economics. In addition, new effectively ...

In the facility location problem usually reducing total transferring cost and time are common objectives. Designing of a network with hub facilities can improve network efficiency. In this study a new model is presented for P-hub covering location problem. In the p-hub covering problem it is attempted to locate hubs and allocate customers to established hubs while allocated nodes to hubs are in...
