work system safety is a function of many factors, besides its dynamic and complex structure. there may be relations and dependencies among the safety factors. therefore, work system safety should be analyzed in a holistic manner. in this study, the faulty behavior risk (fbr) which is significant in work system safety is tried to be determined through analytical network process (anp) which is an...

multi-criteria evaluation methods (mcem) have been widely used in the scientific arena as well as in urban and regional planning. the analytic network process (anp) is one the mcem that includes relevant tangible as well as intangible criteria and sub-criteria. it allows for a more complex relationship among the decision levels and attributes, as it does not require a strict hierarchical struct...

The employment of natural fibres in fused deposition modeling has raised much attention from researchers finding a suitable formulation for the fibre composite filaments. Moreover, selection should be performed before development composites. It could not without identifying criteria that comprehend both materials and process requirements. Therefore, this study, integration Analytic Hierarchy Pr...

This paper studies the evolutionary direction of the mobile telecommunications industry in China. Different stages of the industry development process with policy intervention and market competition are examined. The interaction of different players like the Chinese government, incumbent operator, and competitive operator within an actor-network is studied. A process-mapping technique is used t...

This study intends to expand a set of proper performance evaluation indices which embraces strategies for sustaining top performance using SWOT analysis inside a balanced scorecard (BSC) outline for the large commercial bank branches in IRAN by operating a fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (FDEA). Through literature reviews and the banks’ experts and managers opinions and who have real practical ...

Probably no protocol has been analyzed as much as the various versions of the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). In this paper, we show how to describe a typical DCF analytic model as a semi-Markov process (SMP). We do this at the hand of an example IEEE 802.11 network in Basic Access mode under both saturated and unsaturated traffic conditions. We show how to solve the corres...
