This article aims to explore the effects of personal, interpersonal, and situational variables on social integration in the community. Structural equation analyses from two-wave panel data (N1⁄4 536) of adult participants living in an urban area showed that personal determinants (perceived stress and depressive mood), and situational determinants (undesirable life events) were statistically rel...

In many practical situations the outputs of a plant are not measured exactly, but are corrupted by quantization errors. Often the effect of the quantization error is neglected in the control design phase, which can lead to undesirable effects like limit cycles and even chaotic behavior once the controller has been implemented. In this paper we present a method based on 11 optimal control that m...

This paper presents interactive fuzzy programming for multi-level linear programming problems with fuzzy parameters. In fuzzy programming for multi-level linear programming problems, recently developed by Lai et al., since the fuzzy goals are determined for both an objective function and decision variables at the upper level, undesirable solutions are produced when these fuzzy goals are inconsi...
