Following the notion of skill-biased FDI fl ows from developed to less developed regions, high-skilled workers are likely to benefi t from FDI to a larger extent. They earn a productivity advantage that potentially transfers into a skilled wage premium. This gives rise to distributional confl ict that might turn into heterogeneous attitudes toward FDI infl ows in line with skill. In this paper ...

in the last decade, cellular automata models have been widely used for simulation spatial phenomena; however, exact nature of these models have been lead to various limitations for essential simulation of these phenomena. in this research, traditional cellular automata models have been developed through fuzzy theory, in which, transition rules are expressed based on fuzzy logic control methodol...

In this paper, the problem of lot sizing, scheduling and delivery of several items in a two-stage supply chain over a finite planning horizon is studied. Single supplier via a flexible flow line production system (FFL), produces several items and delivers them directly to an assembly facility. Based on basic period (BP) strategy, a new mixed zero-one nonlinear programming model has been develop...

inventory control is one of the most important issues in supply chain management. in this paper, a three-echelon production, distribution, inventory system composed of one producer, a set of wholesalers and retailers is considered. costumers' demands can be approximated by a normal distribution and the inventory policy is a kind of continuous review (r, q). in this paper, a model based on ...

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 ...
