This paper deals with the issue of efficiency in the Goal Programming (GP) model. A general approach for the determination of an efficient solution of GP is presented. An efficiency test for the GP solution is developed; moreover, when this solution is not efficient, an efficient solution that dominates it is determinedJournal of the Operational Re

The major focus of past literature on Al-Maqid was on developing the theory, and most of the discussion centered on its legal dimensions. The pioneering works emanated from scholars such as, Al-Juwayni (n.d), Al-Ghazali (1901), Al-Shatibi (n.d), Ibn ‘Ashur (1998) and Ibn Taymiyyah (al-Raysuni, 1992). Recently, the application of Al-Maqid in vario

The chief aim of this chapter is to highlight one ofthe most important inventions ofthe 20th , century which was created by the Iranian professor Ali lavan. This invention is the gas laser composed of Helium-Neon Laser. In this chapter the theory of the gas laser, its main components and advantages will be dealt with in comparison to the normal las

Fuzzy measure and Choquet integral are effective tools for handling complex multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems in which criteria are inter- dependent. The identification of a fuzzy measure requires the determination of 2n −2 values when the number of criteria is n. The complexity of this problem increases exponentially, which makes

This present study was embedded in strategic planning theories and motivational concepts and theories; the ancient Chinese strategic theories in relation with other researchers' theories and models that explain the process of strategic planning in educational sector. it defined leadership as the lifting of people's vision to a higher sight,

In this paper, we present a new approach to n-person games based on the Habitual domain theory. Unlike the traditional game theory models, the constructed model captures the fact that the underlying changes in the psychological aspects and mind states of the players over the arriving events are the key factors, which determine the dynamic process o

This chapter aims to highlight quantum physics and its major theories such as the infinitely extended particles. In fact, Classical mechanics functions very well for large objects that are moving much slower than the velocity of light. Nonetheless, once objects start to move very fast, we need to modify Newton's equations by relativistic equati

A brief study on the relationships between leadership and Islamic management (independent variables) and quality education (dependent variable). The study used quantitative approach namely descriptive statistics and factor analysis. Recommendation for future and in depth research were also presented.

With the rate of national nursing shortage increasing, organizational commitment is an extremely important factor for promoting retention of nurses. This descriptive predictive study aimed to determine the level of organizational commitment and determine the ability of perceived organizational support; the sub components of job satisfaction includi

Introduction: With an increase in national nursing shortage, organizational commitment is extremely important for retention of nurses. This predictive study determines the level of organizational commitment and the predictive ability of perceived organizational support, components of job satisfaction, including pay,task requirement, organizational
