multi-echelon inventory systems are one of the most important and attractive areas in modelling supply chain management so that several researches and studies have been done about. in this paper, the total cost function of a two-echelon inventory system with central warehouse and many identical retailers controlled by continuous review inventory policy is estimated. we have assumed the demand i...

in this paper, multi-microgrids (mmg) are considered as future smart distribution grids, in which small scale energy resources (sser) are main power generation units with small scales. optimal operation of microgrids in defined intervals is carried out to achieve economic conditions in distribution systems. the defined operating problem is optimized using a heuristic algorithm considering uncer...

new statistic based models provide a wide area of prediction equipments for different science areas. among these fields biology have just entered the contest of interdisciplinary sciences. drug discovery is a long and expensive process which could be decreased with theoretical approaches. in this study, 500 reported assayed anti cancer molecules were extracted from science direct articles, sket...

conclusions methicillin resistance is a specialized concern in clinical studies, and it is mandatory to detect this mechanism by an accurate method that is updated periodically. increasing the resistance of s. aureus to multiple antibiotics underlines the need for intermittent resistance surveillance. results methicillin resistance was detected in 38% of s. aureus isolates, confirmed by the aga...

due to their advantages, omni-directional mobile robots have found many applications especially in robotic soccer competitions. however, omni directional navigation system, omni-vision system and kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. this situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensive omni directional mobile robot. such...

multifunctional nanomaterials showed graet advantages in drug delivery. folic acid (fa) binding protein, a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol anchored cell surface receptor for folate, is overexpressed in several human tumors, whereas it is highly restricted in normal tissues. therefore, in this study, fa, polyethylene glycol (peg), and fe3o4 nanoparticles multifunctionalized short multiwall carbon...

hydatid disease is a common and major public health issue caused by parasite echinococcus granulosus . the highest prevalence of the parasite can be found in different parts of world like africa, australia, and south america. this infection can occurs in almost any part of the body. here we present clinical, radiological, histological features and treatment of a multi ve­sicular osseous hydatid...

this paper is a research on the ordering planning of a supply chain with one supplier, multi buyer and multi deteriorating items. items have fixed life time and expire dates. the ordering period is taken as variable and must be computed the proposed models. the problem is studied via two different approaches the first is the joint replenishment, based on the hwang and chew's model [3] and ...

this paper presents a multi-objective linear programming model for disaster blood supply chain in some periods of time after disaster. this model assist to determine the quantity and location of facilities and also how to allocate blood to facilities. in this study, a three-level model is described, while blood is collected from temporary and permanent facilities and sent to blood center. blood...
