In this paper, a supply chain network design problem is explained which contains environmental concerns in arcs and nodes of network. It is assumed that there are some routes such as road, rail and etc. in each pair of nodes. In this model decision variables are choosing facilities to open, environmental investment level in each facility and flow of products between nodes in each route. A multi...

it is commonly recognized that knowledge is the only source of core competence of environmental projects in the knowledge based companies, but the productivity rate of knowledge workers is always low. based on knowledge workers’ characteristics, in this paper, we seek to identify knowledge workers factors influencing on the environmental projects risk management success (eprm), then knowledg...

introduction: when there is no determined value for water (as a public asset) by its trustees and beneficiaries and its allocation method is more dependent on the requirements of water consumers than comparing water affairs benefits with its real value, decision making on which interested group, when and to what extent can use water is a game. this study is aimed to determine sustainable polici...

in recent years, the debate over the environmental sustainability of agricultural productions is widely increased. in this context, environmental impacts of potato production by semi-mechanized method were studied in markazi province of iran. in this research, life cycle assessment approach was used to identify and reduce environmental impacts. the environmental impacts of potato production in ...

as one way to approach industrial symbiosis, environmental infrastructure sharing is principally concerned with providing an integrated environmental utility system for clustered firms. it is based on the assumption that environmental infrastructure sharing can improve the regional competitive advantage by reducing overall cost and improving environmental performance. in order to verify the ass...

The background field approach to multi-loop calculations in gauge field theories is presented. A relation between the gauge-invariant effective action computed using this method and the effective action of the conventional functional approach is derived. Feynman rules are given and renormalization is discussed. It is shown that the renormalization programme can be carried out without any refere...

This talk presents details of the calculation of two-loop corrections to heavy baryon currents containing one heavy quark in leading order of the 1/mQ-expansion, i.e. in the limit of Heavy Quark Symmetry (HQS). The calculations lead to the determination of the anomalous dimension of these currents. I also discuss problems with different γ5-schemes and their solution by the finite renormalizatio...

Success in higher education depends on students’ ability to meet the writing requirements of their chosen courses, and in many cases this involves adapting to the literacy practices of particular disciplines. While research into professional academic discourse suggests that it may reflect differences in disciplinary culture and epistemology, there has been relatively little investigation of dis...
