in this paper, we mainly investigate the uniqueness of the entire function sharing a small entire function with its high difference operators. we obtain one results, which can give a negative answer to an uniqueness question relate to the bruck conjecture dealt by liu and yang. meanwhile, we also establish a difference analogue of the bruck conjecture for entire functions of order less than 2, ...

What are the Best Practices of QFD? This was the driving question approx. a dozen experienced users of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) wanted to answer during various two-day workshops. The QFD Institute Germany e.V. (QFD-ID) had invited to come up for discussion on the Best Practices of QFD. The QFD-ID exists for almost 10 years now, but the origins of QFD and its successful application worl...

in this study, we present a mrcpsp/max (multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem with minimum and maximum time lags) model with minimization tardiness costs and maximization earliness rewards of activities as objective. the proposed model is nearby to real-world problems and has wide applications in various projects. this problem is not available in the literature exactly and ...
