his study aimed to investigate factors affecting the revenue share of Iranian tomato paste exporting companies. Flexible estimation method was used on a two-dimensional panel data set including 224 observations from 14 tomato paste manufacturing and exporting companies and 16 importing countries during 2005-12. Results showed that value added per employee in manufacturing or exporting companies...

A procedure is presented that synthesizes fractional crystallization separation processes to obtain pure solids from multi-component solutions. The method includes a procedure to generate a network flow model to identify alternative process designs for fractional crystallization. The main advantage of this systematic procedure with respect to other reported procedures is using non-equilibri...

Sample surveys typically gather information on a sample of units from a finite population and assign survey weights to the sampled units. Survey frequently have missing values for some variables for some units. Fractional regression imputation creates multiple values for each missing value by adding randomly selected empirical residuals to predicted values. Fractional imputation methods assign ...

This work investigates chaos synchronization between two different fractional order chaotic systems of Lorenz family. The fractional order Lü system is controlled to be the fractional order Chen system, and the fractional order Chen system is controlled to be the fractional order Lorenzlike system. The analytical conditions for the synchronization of these pairs of different fractional order ch...

We consider dynamical systems that are described by fractional power of coordinates and momenta. The fractional powers can be considered as a convenient way to describe systems in the fractional dimension space. For the usual space the fractional systems are non-Hamiltonian. Generalized transport equation is derived from Liouville and Bogoliubov equations for fractional systems. Fractional gene...

Using a function algebra characterization of exponential time due to Monien 5], in the style of Bellantoni-Cook 2], we characterize exponential time functions of linear growth via a safe course-of-values recursion scheme.

This article is a critical review of some of the methods that have been used for the sampling, analysis, and monitoring of vapor-phase toluene diisocyanate (TDI). Only some of the methods that have received relatively widespread application have been addressed in this article. This review includes a "tutorial style" discussion of basic definitions and basic principles and procedures of quality ...
