Abstract In this paper, various averaging techniques commonly used in turbomachinery applications are analyzed. It is shown how the work average relates to Miller’s mechanical potential and that it is, a certain way, consistent with Hartsel’s cooled turbine efficiency. found key understand these approaches analyze impact entropy variations at inflows have on them. Second-order asymptotics of mi...

Objectives: The present study was aimed to determine the effect of psychological immunization on pessimistic attribution in Female students with dyslexia. Methods: The study was an experimental one, in which 60 Female students with dyslexia were selected randomly from Learning Disabilities Centers in Isfahan. Subjects  were  assigned to experimental and control groups (15 individua...

Background & Aims: There is a high prevalence of burnout in modern societies and it encompasses all aspects of life. Thus, this study investigated the effects of personality dimensions and attribution styles variables on the dependent variable of job burnout with the mediating role of resiliency in surgeons in Kerman, Iran. Methods: The target population consisted of 127 surgeons of whom 90 sur...

Are women disproportionately attracted to work environments where cooperation rather than competition is rewarded? This paper reports the results of a real-effort experiment in which participants choose between an individual compensation scheme and a team-based payment scheme. We find that women are more likely than men to select team-based compensation in our baseline treatment, but women and ...

This paper presents an extension of the multimode resource-constrained project scheduling problem for a large scale construction project where multiple parallel projects and a fuzzy random environment are considered. By taking into account the most typical goals in project management, a cost/weighted makespan/quality trade-off optimization model is constructed. To deal with the uncertainties, a...

This brief announcement proposes a new model to measure the distributed time complexity of topological self-stabilization. In the field of topological selfstabilization, nodes—e.g., machines in a p2p network—seek to establish a certain network structure in a robust manner (see, e.g., [2] for a distributed algorithm for skip graphs). While several complexity models have been proposed and analyze...

We initiate a research agenda of mechanism design for categorized domain allocation problems (CDAPs), where indivisible items from multiple categories are allocated to agents without monetary transfer and each agent gets at least one item per category. We focus on basic CDAPs, where each agent gets exactly one item per category. We first characterize serial dictatorships by a minimal set of thr...

In this report, we revisit a much explored topic in networking the search for a simple yet fully general and efficient multicast design. The many years of research into multicast routing have led to a generally pessimistic view that the complexity of multicast routing and interdomain multicast in particular can only be overcome by restricting the service model, as in the case of single-source m...
