Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of non-parametric methods for evaluating efficiency of each unit. Limited resources in healthcare economy is the main reason in measuring efficiency of hospitals. In this study, a bootstrap interval data envelopment analysis (BIRDEA) is proposed for measuring the efficiency of hospitals affiliated with the Hamedan University of Medical Sciences. The propos...

This article identifies the essential technologies and considerations for development of an Automated Cow Monitoring System (ACMS) which uses 3D camera technology assessment Body Condition Score (BCS). We present a comparison range common techniques at different developmental stages Computer Vision including data pre-processing implementation Deep Learning both 2D formats commonly captured by c...

We present an adaptive refinement strategy for the h-version of the boundary element method with weakly singular operators on surfaces. The model problem deals with the exterior Stokes problem, and thus considers vector functions. Our error indicators are computed by local projections onto 1D subspaces defined by mesh refinement. These indicators measure the error separately for the vector comp...

This paper considers the reliable multi-product multi-vehicle multi-type link logistics network design problem (RMLNDP) with system disruptions, which is concerned with facilities locating, transshipment links constructing, and also allocating them to the customers in order to satisfy their demand on minimum expected total cost (including locating costs, link constructing costs, and also expect...

In this paper we describe a computer based simulation application which is designed to support contingency planning – having resources available – in extreme winter condition. First we introduce the background of the simulation sparsely populated areas in Northern Finland where long distances and extremely cold weather can make disturbance situations even more difficult to be normalized by auth...

North American Muslims seeking to resolve their private disputes confront multifaceted access justice issues. Since Islamic marriage and divorce laws do not always align with family legislative schemes, are burdened trying simultaneously meet obligations toward both legal systems. Unlike secular law, proceedings require either the husband’s eventual consent or availability of a Muslim judge. Th...

In wireless sensor networks, the importance of transporting data correctly with reliability is increasing gradually along with the need to support communications between the nodes and sink. Data flow from the sink to the nodes requires reliability for control or management that is very sensitive and intolerant of error; however, data flow from the nodes to the sink is relatively tolerant. In th...
