While acknowledging the benefits of "stakeholder analysis, nodal analysis or link analysis" [4] (loc. 3281) as popular tools of the time—he argued that systems theory and tools which analyzed systems as a whole might provide better insights [4] (loc. 3233). System dynamics is one such ...

The benefits of system dynamics for studying DIME-PMESII interactions was summarized as: • Representing dynamic behaviors, including feedback and cross-connectivity over time. • Ability to disaggregate structure into substructures to examine any level of detail. • Leveraging interconnected ...
In this respect, the incorporation of CSR within the company's mission and objectives is of vital importance. The question of CSR has become increasingly important to business organisations [10], for reasons such as its relation to financial benefits [11], its value as an instrument to improve...
This approach has the benefits of limiting the number of power profile to be recorded by the AMI, but, at the same time, offers a good approximation of the behavior of the network, since the maximum error is about 6.3%. 6. Conclusions The management of modern distribution grid requires ...
Lastly, MLS provides safety benefits by minimizing requirements for personnel to work on or adjacent to the roadway. A wide range of MLS systems exist. depending on the application(s) of interest and scope of the survey. Puente, et al. [7] described and compared configurations for several ...
However, its benefits come at the cost of mental load and fatigue occurring in the concentration on the visual stimuli. Noise, as a ubiquitous random perturbation with the power of randomness, may be exploited by the human visual system to enhance higher-level brain functions. In this study, ...
Their ability to form thin films, light weight, flexibility and reasonable ionic conductivity are among the useful benefits of using solid polymer electrolyte [2]. In previous researches, many different polymers have been used in the application of SPE and most of them are conventional homopolymers...
