Signal detection theory provides a precise language and graphic notation for analyzing decision making in the presence of uncertainty. It has been widely used in visual inspection to evaluate system performance. Recent studies also found that trust in automation plays a very important role in visual inspection. Particularly, trust has a great influence on the use of automation in a hybrid inspe...

In This paper a hybrid DEA method consisting of four phases for assigning the financial efficiency of commercial banks in India is used. This paper is based on panel data of banks for the period from 2011 to 2015. The DEA analysis based on hybrid method of DEA AND TOPSIS is used for ranking efficient Decision Making Units(DMUs) in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). However, since each of these me...

this study adopted a survey research strategy to examine the impact of servant leadership and its dimensions on team effectiveness and trust in teams. the servant leadership, a new model of leadership, in recent years has been an area of interest to researchers and administrative staff. furthermore, institutions of higher education in the third millennium, need to maintain and increase the reli...

the efficiency measurement is a subject of great interest. the majority of studies on dea models have been carried out using radial or non-radial approaches regarding the application of dea for the efficiency measurement. this paper, based on the directional distance function, proposes a new generalized hybrid measure of efficiency under generalized returns to scale with the existence of both r...

In this paper, a novel algorithm for the load flow analysis problem in an islanded microgrid is proposed. The problem is modeled without any slack bus by considering the steady state frequency as one of the load flow variables. To model different control modes of DGs, such as droop, PV and PQ, in an islanded microgrid, a new formula for load flow equations is proposed. A hybrid optimization alg...
