The unsteady increase in using pharmaceutical opioids is a phenomenon that has existed in human societies for a long time. Furthermore, the ever-growing trend of addiction to opioids affects communities in various economic, social, and cultural aspects. Since abusing pharmaceutical opioids is a complex dynamic problem, it is extremely difficult to recognize the factors influencing this abuse. T...

Cellular manufacturing system (CMS) is highly important in modern manufacturing methods. Given the ever increasing market competition in terms of time and cost of manufacturing, we need models to decrease the cost and time of manufacturing. In this study, CMS is considered in condition of dynamic demand in each period. The model is developed for facing dynamic demand that increases the cost of ...

Recent developments in the design and manufacture of microcomputers together with improved simulation techniques make it possible to achieve the speed and accuracy required for the dynamic simulation of power systems in real time.

Machines are a key element in the production system and their failure causes irreparable effects in terms of cost and time. In this paper, a new multi-objective mathematical model for dynamic cellular manufacturing system (DCMS) is provided with consideration of machine reliability and alternative process routes. In this dynamic model, we attempt to resolve the problem of integrated family (par...

An important problem in nonlinear science is the unknown parameters estimation in Loranz chaotic system. Clearly, the parameter estimation for chaotic systems is a multidimensional continuous optimization problem, where the optimization goal is to minimize mean squared errors (MSEs) between real and estimated responses for a number of given samples. The Bees algorithm (BA) is a new member of me...

system dynamics is a strategic approach for modeling complex systems and analyzing their behavior. dynamic behavior in entrepreneurial system can be modeled using system dynamics approach and dynamic hypotheses about the system`s behavior can be proposed and tested using simulation and computer aided tools. however, as the review of literature shows, studies which link system dynamics modeling ...
