The aim of this paper is to develop and demonstrate a theory of constraints (TOC) model that utilizes TOPSIS method in estimating the priority of each product in a multiproduct constraint resource environment. The decision model compares four alternatives: Standard cost accounting, Standard Theory-OfConstraints (TOC), LP analysis and our own solution. The numerical results show that the propose...

the ninth constitution of afghanistan (1382 /2003) was ratified according to the bone agreement and with a democratic orientation. this paper compares the principles of this constitution with principles of two models of liberal democracy. for this purpose, five indexes have been used for our analysis: the view on man, the notion of right, political system, democracy, and the process for the act...

MARK C. PAULK Software Engineering Institute he Capability Maturity Model T Model for Software, developed by the Software Engineering Institute, and the ISO 9000 series of standards, developed by the International Organization for Standardization, have the common concern of quality and process management. The two are driven by similar issues and are intuitively correlated, but they differ in th...

this paper aims to assess the application of support vector machine (svm) regression in order to analysis flexible pavements. to this end, 10000 four-layer flexible pavement sections consisted of asphalt concrete layer, granular base layer, granular subbase layer, and subgrade soil were analyzed under the effect of standard axle loading using multi-layered elastic theory and pavement critical r...
