drilling operations are exposed to a variety of hazards, some of which may be location and activity dependent and each could pose different risk from different paths.  drilling operation may be vulnerable to hurricanes in one region and be exposed to geohazards in another. however, there are other hazards, (e.g. corrosion, age degradation, poor maintenance), which equally affects every rig. ide...

Both theoretical and practical efforts in band images often neglect the characteristics having interactions and mutual influence among attributes or criteria, even in the stages of different brand life cycles. This study aims to create a hierarchical framework for brand image management. The analytical network process and fuzzy sets theory have been applied to both mindshare in brand images and...

Both theoretical and practical efforts in store image often neglect the characteristics that have interactions and mutual influence among attributes or criteria, even in the stages of different brand life cycles. This study aims at creating a hierarchical framework for the store image managements. The analytical network process and fuzzy sets theory have been applied to both share of mind in st...

MineSet TM , Silicon Graphics' interactive system for data mining, integrates three powerful technologies: database access, analytical data mining, and data visualization. It supports the knowledge discovery process from data access and preparation through iterative analysis and visualization to deployment. MineSet is based on a client-server architecture that scales to large databases. The dat...

This article presents a mathematical model that provides explicit support for preserving the consistency between decisions made at various points during building performance analysis. Analytical Target Cascading, a multilevel engineering design optimization framework, is applied to the energy analysis process. Within this framework, the energy analysis problem is decomposed into hierarchical le...

because of important role of development banks in optimal allocation of limited financial resources, their investment efforts must have an objective direction to the achievement of government's strategic goals. in order to get appropriate approaches in its investment, bank of industry and mine (bim) as the only development bank in industry and mine sector, aims to take a general survey amo...
