    Iran automakers have achieved technological capabilities in two ways, Under license, and internal design and development. This research seeks to identify and compare the technological capabilities factors created by these two methods. By the library studies and the opinion of industry experts, 9 factors of the Panda and Ramanathan model were selected. The measurement model was followed by defining 67 sub-factors, which were reduced to 47 by the fuzzy Delphi technique. DANP (DEMATEL+ANP) technique is used to weight the factors and sub-factors. Then, by using the TOPSIS technique and the weights extracted from the DANP step, 6 projects from two groups under license, and internal design and development were ranked and compared according to the level of technological capabilities absorbed. It's found that the SAMAND project (Internal development) has been ranked first in attracting technological capabilities, and both methods are essential in catching up with technology to cover the gap with pioneer car manufacturers.

    Considering the environmental problems and the increase in diseases resulting from consuming conventional and processed food, using organic food products is a suitable solution to get rid of problems and environmental damage and to increase the social responsibility of consumers, and it is a new thinking approach to food, health and nature. Organic products are produced without using chemicals, pesticides, additives and flavors. Therefore, it is very important and necessary to promote the attitude of consumers regarding organic products, so by using more organic products, organic agriculture expands more, too. The purpose of the current study is to define a method for prioritizing the factors affecting the promotion of the attitude of organic food products customers, under uncertain circumstances. The factors of the study include ten main criteria, namely, increasing the consumption of organic products, creating easy access, the support of the government, gaining the trust of consumers, increasing the health level of society, decreasing the price of organic products, supporting the environment, competent inspection, supervision and control systems, high agricultural potential in Iran and increasing the awareness of consumers. In order to prioritize the factors affecting the promotion of the attitude of organic food products customers under uncertain circumstances, the model of the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) has been suggested. Accordingly, by using the descriptive-survey research method, a sample population of 50 relevant experts was examined and the factors were prioritized according to their importance by employing the method of Fuzzy AHP.

    In this paper, we will consider one numerical solution to solve the nonlinear Gardner equation. The quartic B-spline (QBS) collocation method will be used to determine the unknown term in this equation. In this regard, we apply the quasilinearization technique to linearize the nonlinear terms of the equation and then, combine the QBS collocation method in space with the finite difference in time. This operation provides an efficient explicit solution with high accuracy and minimal computational effort for this problem. It is further proved that the proposed method has the order of convergence $\textit{O}(k+h^2)$. Also, the method is shown to be unconditionally stable using the Von-Neumann method. Finally, the efficiency and robustness of the proposed approach for solving the nonlinear Gardner equation are demonstrated by one numerical example. These numerical computations will be compared to radial basis functions (RBFs).

    Anomie can be called the phenomenon of the modern era because modernization causes damage to the previous value structure, and as a result, the modern man is somehow in confusion and identity crisis. This study has been conducted with the aim of modeling the explanatory structural equations of factors affecting the consequences of organizational anomie. About 12 experts' opinions have been used to model the explanatory structural equations of factors affecting the consequences of organizational anomie. In this research, to identify the criteria and express the relationships between the criteria, after studying the related research literature and interviewing the experts under study, the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) technique and MICMAC analysis were used. After the data analysis, the variables were classified into four different levels and according to the ISM, graph relationships were drawn. After MICMAC analysis, the variables were placed in three groups of independent or key variables, autonomous and dependent. The variables of "nepotism and discrimination" and "technological turbulence" are more influenced by other factors and from a systemic point of view, they are considered among the effective and dependent elements (the second group) that have a weak influence, but despite this, they have a higher dependence force than It has other factors. Also, the variables "managers' lack of commitment to the organization's values" and "lack of a suitable evaluation system" are among the key variables, which are included in the category of independent variables (fourth group) and have a great impact on the realization and meta-analysis of the factors affecting the consequences of organizational anomie. , which has a high influence and low dependency. Determining the relationships between factors can lead to a better understanding of the issue and making appropriate decisions in identifying the factors affecting the consequences of organizational anomie.

    Companies are desperately seeking a competitive advantage in today's fast-paced business world to outperform their rivals. Competition with the rate of rapid change in technology has made the issue of new product development in a competitive market important. One of the factors that effectively play a role in the new product development process, especially when competition, flexibility and product diversity are important, is the employment of work teams. Considering the importance of the subject, this study aims to present a new model of team assignment for new product development with a focus on improving the level of productivity. In this research, mathematical modeling logic has been used. Furthermore, the research model is a Multi-Objective Integer Linear Programming (MOILP) model and because discrete variables exist, the solution space is not continuous and convex but discrete and thus non-convex. Thus, the problem is NP-hard in terms of complexity. In the end, according to various factors for the assignment of human resources in new product development processes, a multi-objective mathematical model was designed to reduce costs, control wage rates, reduce work process time, and maximize productivity in the production system.

    In the last decades, nonlinear methods have been applied, in a large number of studies from the computational neuroscience field, to describe neuronal implementations of superior brain functions. Superior brain functions, called cognitive functions, control our behavior. Therefore, they should be assessed by evaluating individual performances in the experiments, using standard tasks, which represent the condition that cognitive functions are required. The mathematical models of cognitive functions, at the neuronal implementation level, are based on the real condition of standard cognitive tasks. However, it is not validated whether applied task conditions are appropriate to represent the neuronal implementation of a cognitive function. Hence, as a case study, we used a developed Bayesian Model to assess whether the GoNoGo task is valid to be applied for neural measurement and modeling neural implementation of Inhibitory Control (IC). As GoNoGo is the most common task used for neural measurement of impaired cognitive function (IC) in ADHD, we fit the model to behavioral data of two groups of children/adolescents with and without ADHD. The results demonstrated that the model could simulate the behavioral data, and also the model parameters could differentiate the groups significantly. However, the neural implementation of IC may not be represented through the rewarded condition of the GoNoGo task. We concluded that before modeling the neural implementation of cognitive functions, it is essential to apply nonlinear methods to validate current behavioral experiments computationally; or to design new model-based experiments for use in neural measurements.

    Many abilities of Monte Carlo simulation methods have led to their increasing use in solving various reliability problems of structures. These methods are based on generating random samples in order to simulate events and estimate their results. Achieving certain accuracy requires a significant number of simulation operations. Acceptable accuracies can be achieved with a smaller number of samples by adopting different approaches. In this article, for the first time, symmetric structures are analyzed using the theory of graphs and canonical forms, the frequency of the structures is calculated, and their reliability is also checked using these theories. Also, the study and investigation of the calculation of frequencies and eigenvectors corresponding to symmetric structural models from the point of view of the decomposition of the stiffness matrix in probabilistic reliability analysis, which we will achieve this goal by using the proposed theories. In this article, in addition to obtaining all canonical forms, the relationship between all canonical forms is obtained. Finally, a new Rayleigh-based theory called the proposed improved Rayleigh theory is presented, which is used to extract the natural frequencies of structures. Also, in this research, several samples of different frames and structures were presented using the proposed method and finally, numerical results were presented and the solution of the three-story frame with 24 degrees of freedom was presented. It can be seen from the results that the proposed method has a much higher speed and accuracy than the Monte Carlo method.

    Today, air pollution and energy consumption are metropolitans’ main transportation issues. In these cities, most people consider their mode of transportation based on the appropriate means, including passenger, travel characteristics, population growth, urban space, and transportation. Therefore, the systematic optimization of travel demand in the actual road network in urban areas is necessary. Travel Demand Management (TDM) is one of the well-known methods to solve these problems in congested areas. TDM is a strategy to reduce the efficiency of the urban transportation system by granting special concessions to public transportation methods, implementing the ban on private cars in certain places or times, and increasing the cost of using some facilities such as parking in busy areas pricing network. Transportation demand management is one of the most effective methods to reduce traffic and control air pollution, especially in crowded areas of the city center. A few studies have optimized urban transportation in congested cities by combining Markov decision processes based on decision processes with reward and evolution-based algorithms and simultaneously considering customers and travel characteristics. Therefore, this study provided a new network traffic management for urban cities with multiple objective functions related to the expected reward value of the Markov decision system using a genetic algorithm. Shiraz is considered as a benchmark to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach. Then, the impact of toll levels was evaluated on changes in user and operator cost components.

    Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $\Gamma(R)$  be its zero-divisor graph. All the vertices of zero divisor graphs are the non-zero divisors of the commutative ring, with two distinct vertices joined by an edge in case their product in the commutative ring is zero. In this paper, we study the metric dimension and neighbourhood resoling set for the zero divisor graphs of order 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 of a small finite commutative ring with a unit.
