the balanced scorecard framework with a hierarchical, multilayer, and causal-effect structure can shed light on the growth path and pave the development steps, which in addition to monitoring the financial goals. it also considers and controls the other effective and driving factors. in this study, after reviewing the balanced scorecard, a model was proposed in addition to extract the strategic...

In 1983, the first commercially available database machines were becoming available and new prototypes, such as the GRACE Database Machine [Kit83], had been proposed. The Wisconsin Benchmark [BDT83] was created in an attempt to compare backend database machine architectures to software relational database systems running on a general purpose computer. Specifically, the database machines tested ...

Evolution Strategies (ES) have recently been demonstrated to be a viable alternative to reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms on a set of challenging deep RL problems, including Atari games and MuJoCo humanoid locomotion benchmarks. While the ES algorithms in that work belonged to the specialized class of natural evolution strategies (which resemble approximate gradient RL algorithms, such as ...

The SAT community, and hence the SMT community, have substantial experience in benchmarking solvers against each other on large sample sets, and publishing summaries, whereas the computer algebra community tends to time solvers on a small set of problems, and publishing individual times. This paper aims to document the SAT community practice for the benefit of the computer algebra community. Im...

in new millennium, we encourage with rapid changes in technologies and complexity of environment. in such situations, create sustainable competitive advantage, requires new type of organization that have the ability to create qualitative knowledge. higher education institutes including agricultural faculties to meet challenges ahead, require knowledge creation and manage it. so, managers of agr...

abstract. data envelopment analysis (dea) is now widely utilized as a method for assessing relative efficiency of a set of decision making units (dmus). along as evaluating relative efficiency dea models are capable of to be improved for finding benchmark for inefficient units which can help managers for better making decision. thus it is important to obtain accurate results from dea models. in...
