    In [1] the authors have set up a bio-economic equilibrium model to understand the interactions between three fish populations and seek to maximize the profits of fishermen. The authors then studied the existence of stationary states and their stability using eigenvalue analysis. This is not correct in a dimension 3.In this paper, we correct the proof which appeared in page 190 in [1] by using Routh Hurwitz stability Criterion.

    Iran is among the ten disaster-prone countries and, in terms of the earthquake, it has been ranked the sixth in the world. Although the damages caused by the disasters are not irreversible from different aspects, they could be minimized by performing appropriate preventions as well as preparing plans to counteract the impacts of such incidents. According to the increasing trend of disasters and crises, which hardly damage businesses and communities, providing relief supply chain for crisis situations (HDRSC) is necessary and vital in the wide field of supply chain management (SCM). Even though considerable attempts have been performed in the field of supply chain focusing on the disaster relief, few studies have addressed its complex features and properties. This paper concentrates on the activities such as demand determination and supply chain coordination by field study and best review of best-related research. This research provides a framework for supply chain managers in crisis, who face similar problems in other environments, with valuable insights.

    In this paper, we studied fuzzy linear fractional programming (FLFP) problems with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers where the objective functions are fuzzy numbers and the constraints are real numbers. In this study, in order to obtain the fuzzy optimal solution with unrestricted variables and parameters, a new efficient method for FLFP problem has been proposed. These proposed methods are based on crisp linear fractional programming and newly transformation technique is also used. A computational procedure has been presented to obtain an optimal solution. To show the efficiency of our proposed method a real life example has been illustrated.

    In this paper, dynamic programming for sequencing weighted jobs on a single machine to minimizing total tardiness is focused, to significance of fuzzy numbers field, and importance of that for decision makers who are facing on uncertain data, combination of dynamic programming and fuzzy numbers is applied. A random scheduling problem with fuzzy processing times is given and solved. In addition, algorithm consuming time during solving same category problem and different sizes are analyzed that for large problem CPU time usage is extremely unaffordable. Therefore demonstration of near-exact heuristic method such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) appears. In this paper sufficient discussion around solving this kind of problems and their algorithms analysis and a combination between Dynamic Programming (DP) and genetic algorithm as a newly born method is proposed that stand on DP performance and genetic algorithm search power, and finally comparison on the recent developed method has been held. Then this method can deal with real-world problem easily. Thus, decision makers actually can use this modification of dynamic programming for coping with un-crisp problem.

    Nowadays, hospitals are considered as one of the most important service industries in which nurses play a vital role. Indeed, the patient's safety will be treated and the hospital credibility will be lost, if the hospital nurses do not carry out their tasks properly. In this paper, an integration of Fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation (FDEMATEL), Fuzzy Hierarchy Process Analysis (FAHP), and Fuzzy VIKOR (FVIKOR) is proposed to select the best hospital nurses of a year regarding to some qualitative and quantitative criteria. Firstly, FDEMATEL method is used to identify the most important criteria of the problem and then FAHP approach is utilized to determine the weight importance of the criteria. Finally, prioritizing of the hospital nurses is done by FVIKOR method and the proposed method is implemented in a real-world case study of one of the most prominent hospitals in the north of Iran, for the first time. The results illustrate that the proposed method is very functional and effective in both selecting and ranking the hospital nurses process.

    An Electro-flotation cell was designed for industrial wastewater treatment. The affecting parameters of the Electro-flotation process such as, pH, initial dye concentration, temperature, current density, current type, ionic strength, stirring speed and number, connection and inter-distance of electrodes were investigated using a synthetic Acid Red 1 (anionic), Basic Violet 3 (cationic) and Disperse Blue 14 (nonionic) dyes. Two textile wastewater samples were employed for performance evaluation. The maximum removal for all dyes is achieved at pH 7. The AC current and the bipolar electrodes were preferred. The maximum removal was achieved with AC current density of 80 A/m2 at 5 Volts through a bipolar connection of 8 electrode with 2 cm inter-distance. The designed Electro-flotation cell could remove 91.7 – 98.9 % of constituents of textile wastewater samples. The energy consumption was 1.39 Kwh/m3 of the treated wastewater.

    The purpose of this paper is to empirically test and evaluate the possibility of using the traditional Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Modified Capital Asset Pricing Model (MCAPM) in the Tehran Stock Exchange. Traditional CAPM by Sharpe-Linter (1965) as one of the ways in which investors can help explain the risk and return on investment offered by CAPM model to models of different MCAPM suggested by the Santosh Koirala (2015).Therefore, to achieve the desired objective, the research models using monthly returns of firm 96 (2009 to 2015) and test based on index of cash and capital gain returns. The results indicate that the explanatory power MCAPM more about stock returns compared to traditional CAPM in the Tehran Stock Exchange.
