customer activity has received more attention due to the increase of social network applications. moreover, customer activity could be an answer to the research debate about the significant relationship between retention rate and lifetime profitability of customers. several researchers believe that an increase in the retention rate of customers may enhance their customer lifetime value (clv), o...

in the current engineering practices, buildings are commonly designed for an effective lifetime of 50 years. this lifetime can increase the cost of buildings with short lifetimes and can reduce the safety level of buildings with large lifetimes. in this paper, a “service-life factor” has been defined. applying this factor into the nominal values of live, earthquake, wind, and snow loads, the ef...

business all around the world uses different approaches to know their customers, segment them and formulate suitable strategies for them. one of these approaches is calculating the value of each customer for the company. in this paper by calculating customer lifetime value (clv) for individual customers of an online toy store named alakdolak, three customer segments are extracted. the level of ...

following the changes in the paradigm of urban studies in recent years, sustainability has become an increasingly important issue in the neighborhood’s planning and designing. however, this concept has originally been developed for american and european neighborhoods’ planning, it could also be customized for other neighborhoods’. additionally, in the neighborhood scale, the quality parameter f...

In [4, 13], Bancilhon and Paredaens introduced a notion of completeness for relational database languages on instance-level. Their criterion was subsequently called BP-completeness. Since then, it was used frequently in the context of other database models. However, its application in the context of languages involving object creation appears to raise some serious problems. In this paper, we us...

As opposed to contemporary activity-centric, process-aware information systems (PAIS), for which a multitude of concepts and implementations exist, there is only a very limited number of PAIS implementing data-centric, artifact-centric or object-aware approaches. This demo paper presents the implementation of a modeling environment for the object-aware approach to business process management. O...

From a sample of about 10 φ mesons produced at DAΦNE, we have selected KL mesons tagged by observing KS → ππ decays. We present results on the major KL branching ratios, including those of the semileptonic decays needed for the determination of |Vus|. These branching ratio measurements are fully inclusive with respect to final-state radiation. The KL lifetime has also been measured.

the parallel systems are special important types of coherent structures and have many applications in various areas.in this paper we consider a two-exchangeable-component parallel system for the generalized farlie-gumbel-morgenstern (generalized fgm) distribution. we study the reliability properties of the residual lifetime of the system under the condition that both components of the system ar...

(FBRs). The factors influencing fatigue lifetime in sodium compared with that in air were investigated by observation of surface cracks in 316FR steel. Furthermore, the effects of sodium environment on fatigue were investigated based on examining the results of thermal striping tests, etc., obtained up to now. The results of the fatigue tests show that many micro cracks in the shearing directio...

This paper discusses the CRISTAL object lifecycle management system and its use in provenance data management and the traceability of system events. This software was initially used to capture the construction and calibration of the CMS ECAL detector at CERN for later use by physicists in their data analysis. Some further uses of CRISTAL in different projects (CMS, neuGRID and N4U) are presente...
