this study examines inventory management practices of flour milling manufacturing firms and their effects on operational performance. five flour milling manufacturing firms in lagos were used for this study. structured questionnaire was the major instrument for the collection of relevant primary data while descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation was deployed to analyzing the ...

the present paper deals with development of a simulation model for the performance evaluation of feed water system of a thermal power plant using markov birth-death process and probabilistic approach. in present paper, the feed water system consists of four subsystems. after drawing transition diagram for feed water system, differential equations are developed and then solved recursively using ...

the computational method based on using the operational matrix of anorthogonal function for solving variational problems is computeroriented. in this approach, a truncated hartley series together withthe operational matrix of integration and integration of the crossproduct of two cas vectors are used for finding the solution ofvariational problems. two illustrative examples are included todemon...

in this paper operational matrix of bernstein polynomials (bps) is used to solve bratu equation. this nonlinear equation appears in the particular elecotrospun nanofibers fabrication process framework. elecotrospun organic nanofibers have been used for a large variety of filtration applications such as in non-woven and filtration industries. by using operational matrix of fractional integration...

this study presents a comparative survey of direct methods for solving variational problems. thisproblems can be used to solve various differential equations in physics and chemistry like rateequation for a chemical reaction. there are procedures that any type of a differential equation isconvertible to a variational problem. therefore finding the solution of a differential equation isequivalen...
