Industrial organizations are complex systems` where the interactions among the various functions such as Sales, Distribution, Manufacturing, Materials, Finance, Human Resources and Maintenance have to be man-aged towards a common purpose of delivering the customers satisfaction. However, since most of these or-ganizations have a `Functional Structure`, each function or department works towards ...

in this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical slam/gps/ins/wlfp sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term gps failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. in addition, in gps denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...

purpose: nurses can directly influence health services quality and outcomes. they need correct information in due time to provide an effective service for the patient and other healthcare personnel. nursing information system is a subsystem of hospital information system that can help nurses to have better performances. the goal of this study was to evaluate nursing information system of hospit...

This multidisciplinary study has investigated the impacts of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), as computers, telephones, or televisions, on leisure activities and leisure-related travel, developing and empirically validating the Time Allocation to Leisure and Travel (TALT) Model for analysis of personal time-budget, and for exploration of tradeoffs between personal-activity dema...

in the last decades an increasing number of clubs, associations, and partnerships behind professional team sports have become business enterprises as well; as regards their income and number of employees, there are numerous companies managing sports clubs in the medium sized enterprise sector. by nature of being businesses that manage sports, successful performance is usually the number one str...

In this paper, we intend to solve special kind of ordinary differential equations which is called Heun equations, by converting to a corresponding stochastic differential equation(S.D.E.). So, we construct a stochastic linear equation system from this equation which its solution is based on computing fundamental matrix of this system and then, this S.D.E. is solved by numerically methods. Moreo...

The electric utility industry is moving towards a deregulated, competitive environment where utilities must have accurate information about system performance to ensure that maintenance money are spent wisely and that customer expectation are met. To measure system performance, the electric utility industry has developed several performance measure of reliability. These reliability indices incl...

this paper presents a new observer-based control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems. in the proposed method, nonlinear observer and twisting algorithm controller are employed to realize a sensor-less control strategy for complex systems which makes use of non measurable process information instead of installing as many sensors as possible. due to lack of availability of the complex system ...
