Based on data from 2083 wind turbines installed in Sweden 1988 onwards, the accuracy of predictions annual energy production (AEP) project planning phases has been compared to actual wind-index-corrected production. Both electricity and predicted AEP come Vindstat, a database that collects information directly turbine owners. The mean error for all analyzed was 13.0%, which means that, overall,...

inadequate attention to the products having shelf life limitation leads to form a new branch of supply chain (sc) called cold chain (cc). cold chain management (ccm) is referred to handle activities related to perishable products. this research investigates the role of information technology (it) in improving the human resource efficiency, planning and logistic in the cc organizations. the numb...

a communication net is usually represented by a linear graph g whose branches represent channels for information flow and whose vertices represent sources, sinks and switching centers. the purpose of this paper is to show that for modeling digital communication nets, conventional use of the concepts of capacity and terminal capacity is inadequate . we will present an alternative to max-flow min...
