This paper presents a strategy based on fuzzy logic and lexicographic multi-objective optimization for designing noise abatement procedures aimed at reducing the noise exposure of the population living around the airports. A non-linear multi-objective optimal control problem is formally written and identified. A lexicographic optimization technique is presented for establishing a hierarchical o...

This paper argues that the traditional definition of crime is too narrow and unnecessarily constrictive of criminological work. Definitions more in accord with the objectives of a humanistic criminology must be developed. The traditional debate over the definition of crime has not been grounded within the context of the more fundamental images of crime that actually guide criminological work. B...

using the mathematic techniques such as fuzzy approach has useful outcomes for production planning in different sources. in this paper lgp1 was used to model the objectives such as: avoidance of shortage or surplus of demand, access to maximum of income, using the normal capacity of production and organizing the inventory of warehouse, within the framework of goal constraints like balancing be...

    Strategic programming, Complex supply chain, Lean, Production programming, Suppliers selection,   ELECTRE This paper represents a model of strategic programming with limited resources in a complex supply chain. The main goal of the proposed model is to increase efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain with respect to income increases and cost decreases. Using special objective funct...

Problems are a part of daily living, the solution to problems most times requires optimizing various alternative goals at the same time. For the case in question, the goals to be synchronised are usually in discord with each other and no single solution is feasible. A solution that takes into consideration only one objective can produce undesirable results for the other goals/objectives. A way ...

The time, quality, and cost are three important but contradictive objectives in a building construction project. It is a tough challenge for project managers to optimize them since they are different parameters. This paper presents a time-cost-quality optimization model that enables managers to optimize multiobjectives. The model is from the project breakdown structure method where task resourc...

Learning programming skills is not an easy task as supported by many research studies. Like other students around the world, the students of the University of Tabuk struggle through computer programming courses. This research investigates and analyzes the problems faced by computer programming students at the University of Tabuk with two main objectives. The first objective is to find out wheth...
