Uncertainty Quantification of Random Microbial Growth in a Competitive Environment via Probability Density Functions

Development of a Model for Locating Hubs in a Competitive Environment under Uncertainty: A Robust Optimization Approach

This article explores the development of previous models to determine hubs in a competitive environment. In this paper, by comparing parameters of the ticket price, travel time and the service quality of hub airports, airline hubs are divided into six categories. The degree of importance of travel time and travel cost are determined by a multivariate Lagrange interpolation method, which can pla...

a contrastive study of rhetorical functions of citation in iranian and international elt scopus journals

writing an academic article requires the researchers to provide support for their works by learning how to cite the works of others. various studies regarding the analysis of citation in m.a theses have been done, while little work has been done on comparison of citations among elt scopus journal articles, and so the dearth of research in this area demands for further investigation into citatio...

Path-probability density functions for semi-Markovian random walks.

In random walks, the path representation of the Green's function is an infinite sum over the length of path probability density functions (PDFs). Recently, a closed-form expression for the Green's function of an arbitrarily inhomogeneous semi-Markovian random walk in a one-dimensional (1D) chain of L states was obtained by utilizing path-PDFs calculations. Here we derive and solve, in Laplace s...

Generation scheduling in a competitive environment

Electric power restructuring offers a major change to the vertically integrated monopoly. The change manifests the main part of engineers’ efforts to reshape the three components of today’s vertically integrated monopoly: generation, distribution and transmission. In a restructured environment, the main tasks of these three components will remain the same as before, however, to comply with ...
