beside developing strategies, success of organizations depends on alignment of strategies. one of the important functional areas in which companies develop strategies is operation. alignment of operation strategies is called horizontal alignment. the aim of this article is to present a model for alignment of operation strategies. to this end, an original algorithm has been presented by which ho...

Abstract The application of model reduction techniques in the context of dynamic optimization of chemical plants operation is investigated. The focus is on the derivation and use of reduced models for the design and implementation of optimal dynamic operation in large-scale chemical plants. The recommended procedure is to apply the model reduction to individual units or groups of units, followe...

Knowledge-based operation optimization methods may suffer from difficulties in modeling the chemical processes and solving the mathematical equations. In this paper, a data-based classification method for operation optimization is introduced. In contrast with other fields, chemical process is characterized by time delay and interaction between upstream and downstream units. By rebuilding histor...

to determinine the timeliness cost of machine operation, farm-level data were collected from random sample of 227 sugar beet farms located in the three major districts of fars province of iran: eghlid, marvdasht and fasa in 2006.  the results showed that timeliness cost of tillage practices (plough and land leveling), applying fertilizers before planting and timeliness in seed planting per ever...

although the shelling and bombing against the residential areas have been prohibited in the international law, the iraqi regime used these tools frequently to advance its military and political strategy. these attacks were escalated after the kheibar operation. this article considers the definitions and concepts of the war of the cities and then studies the trend of this war during the iran-ira...

Designing OECTs to amplify chemical redox reactions reliably requires: (1) separating reaction from the OECT (2) operating potentiometrically (3) utilizing non-polarizable gate electrode (4) maximizing transconductance of channel material.

the developments of the iran-iraq war scene following the iranian victory in faw which changed the balance of power in favor of iran caused the iraq not only to intensify her attacks against the residential areas and industrial circles, but also increases the using of chemical weapons during her attacks in ground battles as a deterrent factor. in other words, the iraqi decision-makers when unde...

Models of analog retrieval require a computationally cheap method of estimating similarity between a probe and the candidates in a large pool of memory items. The vector dot-product operation would be ideal for this purpose if it were possible to encode complex structures as vector representations in such a way that the superficial similarity of vector representations reflected underlying struc...
