Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplying Simulated Annealing For Optimal Operation of Multi-Reservoir SystemsF. Khodabakhshi, A. R. Ghirian, N. KhakzadThe need to optimize the operation of water reservoirs is an issue that is becoming increasingly a concern for water resources planners in developing countries. This issue particularly becomes more significant in large systems with multiple reservoirs where operation of one reservoir has an impact on the others. In other word, the set of reservoirs in these systems act like … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtension Mechanisms to Support Sustainable Agriculture in Iran ContextMohammad Sadegh AllahyariSustainable agriculture, as a managerial philosophy has risen to meet environmental, economic and social complications. Agricultural extension as a source of information plays an important role for the achievement of sustainable forms of agriculture. In fact, conventional extension system cannot accomplish sustainability in agriculture. The objective of the study was to identify the most appropriate mechanism to support dimensions and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands via Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Tabu SearchZ. Ismail, IrhamahThis study considers a version of the stochastic vehicle routing problem where customer demands are random variables with known probability distribution. A new scheme based on a hybrid GA and Tabu Search heuristic is proposed for this problem under a priori approach with preventive restocking. The relative performance of the proposed HGATS is compared to each GA and TS alone, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Factors Influencing Motivation of Villagers' Participation in Activities of Social Forestry (The Case Study of West Mazandaran)Elham Faham, Ahmad Rezvanfar, Taghi ShamekhiThe main purpose of this study was to analyze factors influencing motivation of villagers' participation in activities of social forestry. The statistical population includes all villagers living in villages, which locate in the west Mazandaran of Iran and had been covered by local forestry cooperative. A sample of 110 villagers were selected by the use of proportional random sampling method. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,746 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Employability Skills of Technical-Vocational Students in MalaysiaAb. Rahim Bakar, Ivan HanafiTechnical-Vocational Education and Training (TVE) system plays important role in providing highly skilled workforce to fulfill the needs of industries. An empirical research of TVE system is necessary to identify effective TVE system to successfully equip students with technical skills that would enable them to fulfill the current work demands and professional expectations. The objective of this paper is to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,960 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Stability in Multiobjective Integer Linear Programming: A Stochastic ApproachWalied H. Sharif, Omar M. SaadIn this study we consider a multiobjective integer linear stochastic programming problem with individual chance constraints. We assume that there is randomness in the right-hand sides of the constraints only and that the random variables are normally distributed. Some stability notions for such problem are characterized. An auxiliary problem is discussed and an algorithm as well as an illustrative example … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,712 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA General Probability Distribution Using Burmann Power SeriesRichard F. Patterson, Pali SenThe goal of this study is to present a general power series distribution that exhibits the properties of some well known distributions. To accomplish this goal we examine an infinite sequence of independent random variables having a Bürmann’s power series distribution. Consequently, we derive moment generating function of the distribution and establish the maximum likelihood estimate of the component that … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBusy Period Analysis of a Man-machine System Operating Subject To Different Physical ConditionsG S. Mokaddis, M. L. Tawfek, S. A.M. ElhssiaThis study deals with some characteristics of a single-unit of a man-machine system operating under different physical conditions. The failure, repair and change of physical conditions (good-poor) are stochastically independent random variables each having an arbitrary distribution. The system analysed by some Markov process technique. The busy period, expected number of visits by the repairman and the cost per unit … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,164 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordReview of Zero-Inflated Models with Missing DataT. Martin Lukusa, Shen-Ming Lee, Chin-Shang LiThe literature of count regression models covers a large scope of studies and applications that implemented simple and standard models for count response variables by using Poisson regression models, binomial regression models, negative binomial regression models, geometric regression models, or generalized Poisson regression models. These regression models have received considerable attention in various situations. Nevertheless in many fields, the distribution … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Oct 2017 · 14,410 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPeriodic Review Probabilistic Multi-Item Inventory System with Zero Lead Time under Constraint and Varying Holding CostNaglaa Hassan El-SodanyProblem statement: This study treats the probabilistic safety stock n-items inventory system having varying holding cost and zero lead-time subject to linear constraint. Approach: The expected total cost is composed of three components: the average purchase cost; the expected order cost and the expected holding cost. Results: The policy variables for this model are the number of periods N*r and … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2011 · 7,526 accessesView PDFCite
