this paper introduces a new method for incorporating the performance of alternatives into their ultimate ranking in a linear assignment method. this method is one of multi-criteria decision-making methods, in which the weight of criteria is incorporated in ranking the alternatives, and the distance between the performances of alternatives do not affect in ranking the alternatives. in order to m...

the problem of pole assignment, also known as an eigenvalue assignment, in linear discrete-time periodic systems in discs was solved by a novel method which employs elementary similarity operations. the former methods tried to assign the points inside the unit circle while preserving the stability of the discrete time periodic system. nevertheless, now we can obtain the location of eigenvalues ...

Addressing the environmental impacts of large-scale agriculture requires innovative approaches to conservation program design and evaluation. We used a randomized controlled trial sample 2225 landowners in Mississippi River Basin test new that targets growing but overlooked population—nonoperating (NOLs). To spur adoption practices on farmland rented out by NOLs, provided NOLs with ready-to-use...

Agri-food supply chains include several processes, from cropping and harvesting to distribution. Integrating these processes reduce costs environmental impact providing sufficient are the main goals of agri-food chain management. Rice, a so-called staple food, makes up significant portion human diet worldwide. Due importance rice, this paper proposes mixed-integer linear programming model for r...

concerning the population growth and urban development, significant growth in the rate of personal car usage has caused more transportation and thus growth in occupying the street areas for parking vehicles. this has caused much transporting problems and traffic. hence concerning the parking issue is crucial in traffic and municipal management.the important issue is the suitable place for the p...

the synthesis of [cu3o(oac)6(h2o)3]cl.ch3oh.6h2o is described. the x-ray crystallographic study of thecomplex revealed an isosceles triangle of copper atoms with a triply bridging oxo atom nearly in the plane of thetriangle. the coordination sphere around each metal center is close to distorted octahedral and the central{cu3(μ3-o)} core is planar. every two copper atoms were connected to each o...

Probabilistic approach of traffic assignment has been primarily developed to provide a more realistic and flexible theoretical framework to represent traveler’s route choice behavior in a transportation network. The problem of path overlapping in network modelling has been one of the main issues to be tackled. Due to its flexible covariance structure, probit model can adequately address the pro...

predicates are words or groups of words which are considered as the most important semantic elements of the sentence. following manouilidou, almeida, schwartz and nair, this research investigates the nature of verb disorder in persian alzheimer patients. to this end, the property of thematic role assignment by three kinds of predicates has been focused upon. the first kind of predicates include...

traditionally, in suburbs of tabriz city, northwest iran (gps 38˚06΄n, 46˚15΄e, mean temperature of 6.6-20.0°c, sandy loam soil type), different types of vegetables including cabbages have been cultivated for many years. the cabbage cyst nematode, heterodera cruciferae was reported as one of the plant parasitic nematodes infecting kohlrabi (brassica oleracea l. var. gongylodes) and white cabbag...
