This paper investigates the stability analysis of fuzzy relational dynamic systems. A new approach is introduced and a set of sufficient conditions is derived which sustains the unique globally asymptotically stable equilibrium point in a first-order fuzzy relational dynamic system with sumproduct fuzzy composition. This approach is also investigated for other types of fuzzy relational composit...

today, market orientation plays a vital role in determining customers’ needs and success of organizations. market orientation has also influenced various organizations’ measures including innovation. therefore the aim of this research is to study the role of market orientation in innovation of bodybuilding clubs of golestan province. the population of this study comprised all 170 managers of bo...

Maier et al. (2010) introduced the relational causal model (RCM) for representing and inferring causal relationships in relational data. A lifted representation, called abstract ground graph (AGG), plays a central role in reasoning with and learning of RCM. The correctness of the algorithm proposed by Maier et al. (2013a) for learning RCM from data relies on the soundness and completeness of AG...

GENERATIONAL INVOLVEMENT IN THE TOP MANAGEMENT TEAM OF FAMILY FIRMS: EXPLORING NON-LINEAR EFFECTS ON ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION ABSTRACT The present study contends that an inverted ...

This study focused on the optimization of Al—Mg to CuZn34 friction stir lap welding (FSLW) process for optimal combination of rotational and traverse speeds in order to yield favorable fracture load using Grey relational analysis (GRA). First, the degree of freedom was calculated for the system. Then, the experiments based on the target values and number of considered levels, corresponding orth...

Despite the vital role of information in relational-oriented firms, there are limited studies on the impact of information quality on relationship marketing. To address this gap, this study develops a conceptual model to examine the impact of information quality on the successful implementation of relationship marketing by assessing the mediating role of salespeople's relational competency. The...

Children's ability to modify their drawing procedures changes in their rst decade. Young children make size/shape changes and end-of-sequence inser-tions/deletions of drawing elements. Older children also make middle-of-sequence insertions/deletions and position/orientation changes in drawing elements. Why do modiications occur in this order? We argue that older children's modiications require ...

Computer A couple of years ago, industry observers touted object-oriented databases as a technology on the rise, well suited for the emerging Internet age. They said object-oriented databasemanagement systems (ODBMSs) would soon become the primary database technology, supplanting relational databasemanagement systems (RDBMSs), which were not designed to handle the type of multimedia data freque...

Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) is a concurrent, committed-choice, rule-based language, rewriting constraints in relational syntax. Frame-Logic is an extension of classical predicate logic which accounts in a declarative way for many features of object-orientation. This exploratory paper gives a concise CHR implementation of Frame-Logic’s core features, including object-oriented constraint synt...
