abstract soil nutrient management with efficient fertilizer use has an important role on maximizing yield and environmental effects. in this study game theory is applied to identify the nutrient proportion for corn production in kooshkak in fars province, iran, in 2008-2009. cost of fertilizer combinations and production of corn are the players of the game. a goal programming was applied to obt...

determination a sequence of extracting ore is one of the most important problems in mine annual production scheduling. production scheduling affects mining performance especially in a poly-metallic open pit mine with considering the imposed operational and physical constraints mandated by high levels of reliability in relation to the obtained actual results. one of the important operational con...

Goal programming is a technique often used in engineering design activities primarily to find a compromised solution which will simultaneously satisfy a number of design goals. In solving goal programming problems, classical methods reduce the multiple goal-attainment problem into a single objective of minimizing a weighted sum of deviations from goals. Moreover, in tackling non-linear goal pro...

Utilizing the whole genomic variation of complex traits to predict the yet-to-be observed phenotypes or unobserved genetic values via whole genome prediction (WGP) and to infer the underlying genetic architecture via genome wide association study (GWAS) is an interesting and fast developing area in the context of human disease studies as well as in animal and plant breeding. Though thousands of...
