In this review, we rederive the controversial influence functional approach of Golubev and Zaikin (GZ) for interacting electrons in disordered metals in a way that allows us to show its equivalence, before disorder averaging, to diagrammatic Keldysh perturbation theory. By representing a certain Pauli factor (δ̃ − 2ρ̃0) occuring in GZ’s effective action in the frequency domain (instead of the tim...

Evolutionary game theory classically investigates which behavioral patterns are evolutionarily successful in a single game. More recently, a number of contributions have studied the evolution of preferences instead: which subjective conceptualizations of a game’s payoffs give rise to evolutionarily successful behavior in a single game. Here, we want to extend this existing approach even further...

The theory of constraints is an approach to production planning and control that emphasizes on the constraints to increase throughput by effectively managing constraint resources. One application in theory of constraints is product mix decision. Product mix influences the performance measures in multi-product manufacturing system. This paper presents an alternative approach by using of goal pro...

Determining population viability of rare insects depends on precise, unbiased estimates of population size and other demographic parameters. We used data on the endangered St. Francis' satyr butterfly (Neonympha mitchellii francisci) to evaluate 2 approaches (mark-recapture and transect counts) for population analysis of rare butterflies. Mark-recapture analysis provided by far the greatest amo...

The density functional approach to nucleation is extended to the study of the condensation of associating fluids. We use Wertheim theory for associating liquids in a system of spherical interacting molecules with single association sites. Our calculations show that classical nucleation theory largely underestimates the height of the nucleation barrier in this kind of system, but most of that er...

rough sets theory is a mathematical approach for analysis of a vague description of objects presented by a well-known mathematician, pawlak (1982, 1991). this paper explores the use of rough sets theory in site location investigation of buried concrete water reservoirs. making an appropriate decision in site location can always avoid unnecessary expensive costs which is very important in constr...
