middle east is a strategic region because of its abundant oil reserves, hostile struggles among the countries, and threat of the radical groups. the countries of this region spend a large amount of their annual budgets on buying weapons and war armaments. the purpose of this paper is to study the impact of military expenditures on economic growth of oil and non-oil middle east countries by a dy...

many efforts have been made to model the the hot deformation (dynamic recrystallization) flow curves of different materials. phenomenological constitutive models, physical-based constitutive models and artificial neural network (ann) models are the main methods used for this purpose. however, there is no report on the modeling of warm deformation (dynamic spheroidization) flow curves of any kin...

although, single-sided linear induction motor (slim) utilization has increased in railway applications due to their numerous advantages in comparison to rotational induction motors (rim), there are some sophistication in their mathematical models and electrical drive. this paper focuses on the problems of slim modeling, with assuming end-effect on the basis of field oriented control (foc) as a ...

Today, neuroscientists are interested in discovering human brain functions through brain networks. In this regard, the evaluation of dynamic changes in functional connectivity of the brain regions by using functional magnetic resonance imaging data has attracted their attention. In this paper, we focus on two model-based approaches, called the exponential weighted moving average model and the d...

this paper studies the dynamic behavior of price elasticity and its effects on the overall profit. although price elasticity has a significant effect on sales, its dynamics have not been examined so far in pricing models. in this paper, a simple pricing model is suggested in which, price elasticity is considered dynamic. the suggested pricing model is concerned with a monopolist that its object...

A new approach or model to the dynamic DEA, referred to as the adjusted dynamic DEA, is proposed in this study. Adjusted dynamic DEA optimizes the production activity of DMUs by introducing adjustment variables to modify the interconnecting activities between consecutive terms, solving conflicts that arise between terms and between management and shareholders. The non-oriented SBM model is used...

in this paper, surface roughness of ht29 cancerous is determined using topography images obtained by atimic force microscopy (afm). the mean radiuses of cell and substrate surface asperities are determined, based on results of conducted roughness analysis and rabinovich roughness theory. these values have been applied in the equations of rough particle nanomanipulation dynamic model and the amo...

A new dynamic friction model for modeling of elliptical vibration assisted turning (EVAT) was developed in this research. The periodic change of the friction force direction is known to be one of the most important causes of this phenomenon. In modeling of machining processes (including the EVAT process), static Coulomb friction model was employed by most of the researchers. Because of the peri...

Measuring the efficiency of real businesses is not a simple task, because a real business may involve several processes and sub-processes, forming a very complicated dynamic network of interactions. In this paper, a customized dynamic network data envelopment analysis (NDEA) model is proposed to measure the efficiency of the sub-processes in a real business. The proposed dynamic NDEA model is f...
