Chen (2017) measured the departmental and overall efficiency in Taiwan's counties and cities by applying a multi-activity model.
By applying a multi-state discretization the feature element space is divided into 2 N segments by adjusting the user-dependent standard deviation.
In order to enhance the aeroelastic stability of a tiltrotor aircraft, a structural optimization framework is developed by applying a multi-level optimization approach.
The proposed FQL-MAQCS can control unexpected conditions by applying a multi-agent based system consisting of the quality control executor, process data analyst, central decision maker, departmental decision maker, and knowledge and rule manager agents.
The efficient load spreading method is achieved by applying a multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm whose objectives are to minimize the hot spot occurrences and to maximize the total workload allocated to servers.
The project focuses on spatial patterns of archaeological sites as well as Bronze Age communication paths in Central Crete by applying a multi-method approach (surveying, remote sensing, DEM analysis, least-cost analysis, candidate site detection, predictive modelling, etc).
By applying a multi-level socio-technical framework, and utilising evidence collected from a series of interviews with key government and industry leaders, this paper examines how, under the influence of landscape pressures, structural change at the regime level can come from the incubation of ideas and experiences at the niche level.
By applying a multi-step current modulation during anodization, a multilayer consisting of three different pore morphologies (macro-, meso-, and micro-pores), as well as several types of multilayer structures with two different pore morphologies, was fabricated on the same silicon substrate using the same electrolyte.
The spatio-temporal distribution of fault slip has been estimated by applying a multi-time window inversion to the seismic waveforms (e.g., Hartzell and Heaton, 1983).
By applying a multi-disciplinary approach, the VRUITS project aimed at developing tools to evaluate, field-test and subsequently improve ITS for vulnerable road users.
The empirical investigation was carried out by applying a multi-method approach (combination of case study and survey methods), called triangulation, which provided a relatively potent means of assessing the degree of convergence, as well as identifying divergences, between the results obtained (Islam [2008]; Brewer and Hunter [2006]; Jick [1979]).
