Despite significant cost savings and the stride towards developing and implementing the Virtual Factory, few companies have managed to fully integrate simulation as a daily tool in their engineering processes. The objective of the paper is to explore the pre-requisites for this integration, using Discrete Event Simulation as an aid for high quality decision making in early phases (conceptual de...

This paper assesses quantification methods for carbon leakage from forestry activities for their suitability in leakage accounting in a future Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) mechanism. To that end, we first conducted a literature review to identify specific pre-requisites for leakage assessment in REDD. We then analyzed a total of 34 quantification methods f...

In this paper we have introduced the intuitionistic fuzzy generalized semi-pre connected space, intuitionistic fuzzy generalized semipre super connected space and intuitionistic fuzzy generalized semi-pre extremally disconnected space. We investigated some of their properties. Also we characterized the intuitionistic fuzzy generalized semi-pre super connected space. 2010 AMS Classification: 54A...
