The selection of proper healthcare device suppliers in sustainable organ transplantation networks has become an essential topic increasing life expectancy. Assessment can be regarded as a complex multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem that consists multiple alternative solutions with criteria. For this reason, paper proposes new integrated MCDM model based on combining extended vlsekrite...

 Due to the growth of population and industrialization, a great number of problems associated with producing industrial wastes have been created for both the environment and human beings. The industrial waste management in Brujen industrial park, located in the western part of Iran, has been investigated in this study using the environmental rapid impact assessment matrix techn...

Today, HSE (health, safety, and environment) systems play a vital role in green and sustainable aspects of the companies. However, performance evaluation of HSE systems is a crucial issue in industry and academia. This paper tries to identify and prioritize the effective factors in HSE performance in Iran Khodro (the largest automotive company in Iran) and Tabriz Petrochemical (one of the bigge...

Gray-scale images can be displayed on binary display devices using a process known as half-toning where gray intensities are approximated by different distributions of black and white pixels. There is a significant number of methods with which these binary or half-toned approximations can be generated. Most of the available methods can be categorized as either a threshold-matrix half-toning met...

Entity categorization – the process of grouping entities into categories – is an important problem with a great many applications. Unfortunately, in practice, many entities are mis-categorized, such as Google Scholar and Amazon products. In this paper, we study the problem of discovering miscategorized entities from a given group of entities. This problem is inherently hard: all entities within...
