Investments in process technologies during the past two decades to increase productivity and efficiency in product development have not yielded the gains in productivity that would be expected. This lack of return on investment is due to injecting new process technologies and tools into old product development processes. Globalization and mass customization, termed 'the new business imperative'...

The consumption of canned tuna in the country has been increasing and some factors are effective on the chemical and organoleptic qualities of this product during transport. The aim of this project is to study methods to reduce histamine and improve the organoleptic properties of the product. Three thawing methods consisted of immersion, cold water shower and open air has been considered. Besid...

Yogurt is the most important fermented dairy product. However, its per capita consumption in Iran is low. Production of flavored yogurt to create a variety of products can cause customer satisfaction and increase in per capita consumption. Flavored yogurt at three levels: 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 were prepared by adding Zoulang aqueous extract. The systems were prepared by following a factorial design,...

abstract one of the major risks in the agricultural sector is the price fluctuations risk of agricultural products. futures markets for agricultural products as one of the policies and executive approach have a significant impact on reducing price fluctuations of agricultural products. so in this study, in this study the factors affecting farmers likely to participate in the future market for p...

This paper analyzes the possibility of a monopoly firm selling and renting a packaged software product. It employs a simple model to analyze the firm's pricing strategy. We observe that the introduction of the rental product leads to an increase in profits, an increase in selling and a decrease in rental prices as a function of the rate of change of the rental price with respect to the quantity...

in this study, the effect of environmental concern, attitudes and behaviors of the university students on the environmentally conscious purchasing behavior was investigated with the help of structural equation model (sem). sem is an effective data analysis tool that expresses the complicated causative relations between the latent variables. in this study, we collected the data from 400 univers...

we study the theory of best approximation in tensor product and the direct sum of some lattice normed spacesx_{i}. we introduce quasi tensor product space anddiscuss about the relation between tensor product space and thisnew space which we denote it by x boxtimesy. we investigate best approximation in direct sum of lattice normed spaces by elements which are not necessarily downwardor upward a...

a subset $s$ of vertices in a graph $g$ is called a geodetic set if every vertex not in $s$ lies on a shortest path between two vertices from $s$‎. ‎a subset $d$ of vertices in $g$ is called dominating set if every vertex not in $d$ has at least one neighbor in $d$‎. ‎a geodetic dominating set $s$ is both a geodetic and a dominating set‎. ‎the geodetic (domination‎, ‎geodetic domination) number...

‎we investigate two constructions‎ - ‎the replacement and the zig-zag‎ ‎product of graphs‎ - ‎describing several fascinating connections‎ ‎with combinatorics‎, ‎via the notion of expander graph‎, ‎group‎ ‎theory‎, ‎via the notion of semidirect product and cayley graph‎, ‎and‎ ‎with markov chains‎, ‎via the lamplighter random walk‎. ‎many examples‎ ‎are provided‎.
