Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVE FIRMS: BUDGETARY ADJUSTMENTS AND ANALYSIS OF CREDIT ACCESS APPLYING SCORING SYSTEMSGiuseppe Bonazzi, Mattia IottiCooperatives are one of the most important types of companies in the agricultural sector. Cooperatives allow overcoming the limitations of the fragmentation of agricultural property, increasing the level of production of small-sized farms and selling the product so that it reaches a sufficient critical mass. Moreover, cooperatives are often characterized by undercapitalization and even difficult credit access because banks conduct … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 5 May 2014 · 6,916 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFinding What You Expect to See: Theoretical Modeling in PsycholinguisticsKathleen AhrensProblem statement: Theories of language processing rely upon experimental evidence to support or reject their hypotheses. Yet it is often the case that conflicting theories flourish alongside each other for decades, with voluminous experimental evidence to support their respective hypotheses. Approach: In this study, I suggest it is imperative for researchers to move beyond their own experiments and results to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 18 May 2012 · 8,227 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordModeling Malaysia's Energy System: Some Preliminary ResultsAhmad Mohd. YusofProblem statement: The current dynamic and fragile world energy environment necessitates the development of new energy model that solely caters to analyze Malaysia’s energy scenarios. Approach: The model is a network flow model that traces the flow of energy carriers from its sources (import and mining) through some conversion and transformation processes for the production of energy products to final … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 13 Aug 2011 · 7,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordConstrained Response Surface Optimization for a Laser Beam Welding ProcessPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: On a current operating condition of a laser beam welding process in the hard disk drive industry, it has been found that shear strength of the head support and suspension assembly is slightly higher than customers' specification. This situation leads to an inspection with a large sample size and a high frequency. Shear strength is not only one … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 7,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordApplications of Conditional Value at Risk to Full Truckload Pricing Under Demand and Service Time UncertaintiesThitima Wonginta, Sompong SirisoponsilpProblem statement: Pricing is one of the fundamental management decisions required by a truckload carrier. Traditional pricing based on an average all relevant costs including fixed and variable costs is not capable of providing adequate margins that prevent losses during operation uncertainties inherent in truckload operation including demand variability and variation in service times. Approach: This study utilizes Conditional Value … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2011 · 8,333 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImproving an Electrostatic Powder Coating Process via Signal to Noise Response SurfacePongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: In a coating process, the master plate referenced brightness or color shade was critical to the exterior appearance on aluminum alloy wheels. The quality measures of interest are the metallic paint thickness values on four areas. Because of these lower quality levels, the manufacturer has spent more on the cost of restudy or scrap as well as the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2010 · 7,476 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Methodology for the Selection of Micro-Assembly TechniquesDario Antonelli, Gualtiero Fantoni, Marcello Porta, Marco SantochiProblem statement: The study addressed the problem of selecting the appropriate microassembly techniques according to the micro-part features. Actually, in the micro-domain, the choice of the correct assembly technique is highly dependent on the micro-part characteristics such as shape, geometry and material. Approach: Since there was an incomplete and unstructured knowledge about the micro-assembly, the study proposed a Decision Support … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2010 · 8,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Solution Methodology of Bi-Level Linear Programming Based on Genetic AlgorithmM. S. Osman, W.F. Abd El-Wahed, Mervat M.K. El Shafei, Hanaa B. Abd El WahabProblem statement: We deal with the bi-level linear programming problem. A bi-level programming problem is formulated for a problem in which two Decision-Makers (DMs) make decisions successively. Approach: In this research we studied and designs a Genetic Algorithm (GA) of Bi-Level Linear Programming Problems (BLPP) by constructing the fitness function of the upper-level programming problems based on the definition of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSolving Linear Programming Problems on the Parallel Virtual Machine EnvironmentJrJung Lyu, Hsing Luh, Ming-Chang LeeThis study developed a parallel algorithm to efficiently solve linear programming models. The proposed algorithm utilizes the Dantzig-Wolfe Decomposition Principle and can be easily implemented in a general distributed computing environment. The analytical performance of the well-known method, including the speedup upper bound and lower bound limits, was derived. Numerical experiments are also provided in order to verify the complexity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,837 accessesView PDFCite
