We explore whether bilateral and transit quotas applied by EU countries on Turkey have a negative impact on Turkey's international trade by road transport. Therefore, Turkey's exports by road transport to selected European ...

The attempt to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of an industrial sector is aided by the determination of critical success factors (CSFs) which focus efforts in those areas that really affect the whole industry, ...

This article analyzes the mission-based component testing problem of devices which consist of series connection of 1-out-of-n subsystems or series connection of m-out-of-n subsystems. The device is designed to perform a ...

In this study, logistics process improvement of Kapikule Border Crossing, one of the largest customs gates, has been evaluated. It is obvious that, any decrease in trade time is expected to realize positive impact on the ...

This paper introduces an integer programming model for planning primary care facility networks, which accounts for the interests of different stakeholders while maximizing access to health care. Physician allocation to ...

We consider the maintenance of a mission-based system that is designed to perform missions consisting of a random sequence of phases or stages with random durations. A finite state Markov process describes the mission ...

Our analysis focuses mainly on coherent systems and series connection of k-out-of-n standby subsystems with exponentially distributed component lifetimes. We analyze system reliability, mean time to failure, and steady-state ...
