Warpage and shrinkage control are important factors in proving the quality of thin-wall parts in injection modeling process. In the present paper, grey relational analysis was used in order to optimize these two parameters in manufacturing plastic bush of articulated garden tractor. The material used in the plastic bush is Derlin 500. The input parameters in the process were selected according ...

As international corporate activities increase, their staffing involves more strategic concerns. However, foreign assignments have many differences, and dissatisfaction with the host country is a known cause of expatriate failure.

Prediction of alkalinity in sintering process is difficult. Whether the level of the alkalinity of sintering process is successful or not is directly related to the quality of sinter. There is no good method, prediction of alkalinity by high complexity, the present nonlinear, strong coupling, high time delay, so the recent new technology, grey least square support vector machine have been intro...

The paper proposes a multi-attribute decision making method based on extended grey relation analysis under interval neutrosophic environment. The interval neutrosophic set is an important decision making apparatus that can handle imprecise, indeterminate, inconsistence information. The rating of the alternatives with respect to certain attribute considered by the expert is characterized by ling...

This paper proposes an exchange rate forecasting method by using the grey relative combination approach of chaos wavelet SVM-Markov model. The problem of short-term forecast of exchange rate by using the comprehensive method of the phase space reconstitution and SVM method has been researched We have suggested a wavelet-SVR-Markov forecasting model to predict the finance time series and demonst...

PURPOSE Grey matter and white matter changes within the brain are well defined in schizophrenia. However, most studies focused on either grey matter changes or white matter integrity separately; only in limited number of studies these changes were interpreted in the same frame. In addition, the relationship of these findings with clinical variables is not clearly established. Here, we aimed to ...
