In this paper, a complete review of published researches about hierarchical facility location and hub network problems is presented. Hierarchical network is a system where facilities with different service levels interact in a top-down way or vice versa. In Hierarchical systems, service levels are composed of different facilities. Published papers from (1970) to (2015) have been studied and a c...

Abstract Distinct later phases of waves with rich high-frequency (> 8 Hz) components were observed for intraslab earthquakes that occurred at intermediate depths, particularly depths exceeding 100 km, in the northeastern (NE) Japan subduction zone. These (HFLPs) showed anomalously large peak-amplitude delays, up to ~ 50 s after direct S-wave arrivals stations backarc region. Using a source-s...

abstract purpose of this paper: the objectives of this paper are two folds: (1) utilizing hierarchical fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (topsis) approach to evaluate the most suitable rfid-based systems decision, and (2) to highlight key risks and benefits of radio frequency identification technology in healthcare industry. design/methodology/approach: resear...

this survey is aimed to compare the hierarchical structure of subject directories, including yahoo, the open directory and looksmart with dewey decimal classification (ddc) in 10 selective subjects. five questions are raised to compare the broadness and the depth of the hierarchical structures in the subject directories and ddc and to study the effectiveness of the usage of ddc in the organizat...

A new class of measurement operators, coined hierarchical and prove results guaranteeing the efficient, stable robust recovery hierarchically structured signals from such measurements. We derive bounds on their restricted isometry properties based constants constituent matrices, generalizing extending prior work Kronecker-product As an exemplary application, we apply theory to two communication...
