Satisfying customer demand is one of the growing concerns supply chain managers. On other hand, development internet communications has increased online demand. In addition, COVID-19 pandemic for shopping. One useful concepts that help to address this concern omni-channel strategy, which integrates and traditional channels with aim improving service level. For purpose, paper proposes an algorit...

The growing concerns about climate change and energy security have led to a shift in the paradigm of framework. In this regard, distributed generation offers possibility deal with inefficiencies delivering, fossil fuel dependence conventional centralized power plants. This work presents modeling multi-criteria optimization strategy for designing operating decentralized plants including differen...

Sir, Recently, an international consortium developed revised guidelines for the diagnosis of behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (FTD) based on histopathologically confirmed cases and their clinical symptoms (Rascovsky et al., 2011). The revised criteria suggest that ‘possible’ behavioural variant FTD requires three of six clinically discriminating features (disinhibition, apathy/inerti...

The Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (ANP) is generally used for solving multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problems by considering the pairwise comparison between criteria/sub-criteria, and inner/outer dependencies among criteria. Linguistic expressions are used for experts’ judgements, and these judgements are imprecise and vague. Hence, incorporating fuzziness with multi-criteria decision ma...

Conservation of natural resources is vital for sustainable management, especially in fragile semi-arid ecosystems. Forest plantations can provide a wide range ecosystem services and deliver measure protection soil water resources. This study proposes novel framework (Optimum Land Suitability Score, OLSS) to prioritize the most suitable areas with high priority restoring degraded lands protectin...

ABSTRACT On 2008 was published (Salini et al, 2008) the guidelines to use an artificial intelligence based approach to create high quality models to asphalt pavements, surpassing most of the well know problems and limitations of the current empiric and empiricmechanistic approaches. This paper describe part of this new approach called INTELLIPave, with focus in show how to totally unknown varia...
