1 - Cotton Stalks Biomass Utilization for Cement or for Bioethanol<br />
Production? A LCIA Approach<br />

Cotton stalks may be used, apart from bioethanol production, in its raw form as a<br />
fuel in production systems. In this paper a case study is presented, where the results<br />
of a Life Cycle Impacts Assessment implemented on a particular supply system<br />
involving cement works in Greece are assessed. These results are compared for<br />
decision making purposes with the impacts resulting when cotton stalks are used for<br />
bioethanol production. A powerful software is used for the realization of this LCIA<br />
study.<br />

The aim of this research is the implementation of a DSS based on several criteria:<br />
macro, microeconomical, socio-economical, socio-political and specific<br />
industry.Variable selection and management related to mentioned models criteria<br />
are studied. It is also analyzed meta-question design and its specific questions at the<br />
moment to define system capacities.<br />
3 - Multicriteria Model to Improve the Use of Performance Evaluation<br />
Instruments with Focus on Indicators<br />

The aim of this paper is to present a process for improving the way to use the<br />
instruments of performance assessment on their way to identify, organize, measure<br />
and use the Performance Indicators. For this, was used the MCDA-C approach due<br />
to their differential over other multicriteria methods. The model guides the<br />
selection/construction of indicators, the construction of the scales and proposes<br />
ways to improve the evaluation tools in order to promote the global assessment.<br />

Applications of Decision Support Systems (DSS) are increasing as a tool for solving<br />
problems and reduce the uncertainty in decision making process. Its require design<br />
techniques that are different from traditional Information Systems, they must be<br />
developed to permit changes to be made quickly and easily (SPRAGUE and<br />
WATSON, 1989; CLERICUZI, 2006). This paper proposes a model to design specific<br />
DSS that incorporate issues identified as essential for the success of the<br />
implementation of DSS.<br />
5 - OLAP – Support to Policy Makers in Sector of the Small and<br />
Medium Sized Enterprises<br />

The Sector of SMEs is one of the most important sectors for boosting regional<br />
economic development. A variety of different data on the SMEs sector exists and<br />
imposes the need for comprehensive analysis, as a basis to support decision-making<br />
process in dynamic development of this sector. Different OLAP techniques applied to<br />
the analyzes of data on small and medium sized enterprises gives support to policy<br />
makers in improved decision making process.<br />

1 - Index of Phonological Similarity Between Target Item and<br />
Substitutions in the Production of Aphasic<br />

This work proposes a Phonological Similarity Index (ISS) to evaluate the degree of<br />
similarity between a target item and error produced by aphasic individuals. ISS<br />
considers the number of segments shared between target and substitution (Nseg)<br />
and the target size (TA) and the substitution size (TS). The equation of ISS = Nseg *<br />
2 / (TA + TS) results in values between 0 and 1. The results revealed the validity of<br />
the index in order to capture the phonological complexity of the substitutions.<br />
2 - Factorial Analysis Applied to Accidents on Highway<br />

Vehicle traffic on highways has increased dramatically and the number of accidents<br />
also. Data relating accidents at a road was studied by factorial analysis, identifying<br />
interrelations among alls the variables, described in accidents, explaining them in<br />
terms of common factors. These factors, in a much smaller number, explain the alls<br />
the variables with minimal loss of information. Thus one identifies the causes of<br />
accidents, so they can be made future planning in order to solve this problem.<br />

The scientific journals are sources or stores of important information and of interest<br />
to researchers, academics, practitioner and services. They allow developing state of<br />
the art, literature review and guidelines for new development. Authorship is also<br />
used in evaluations, promotions and strengthening academic curriculum of<br />
academics and professionals. This study makes a preliminary bibliometric research of<br />
over 560 Scielo journals and considering 177 in the Management Science and<br />
Engineering.<br />
4 - Multiple Correspondence Analysis: Testing the True<br />
Dimensions of a Study<br />

In Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA), the choice of the number of factors to<br />
take into account reveals particularly difficult. Unlike Simple Correspondence<br />
Analysis, in which each eigenvalue contributes to the table chi-square and may be<br />
tested for significance, in MCA the eigenvalues represent a sum of canonical<br />
correlations, the inertia explained by the main factors must be re-evaluated. We will<br />
discuss some possible solutions, taking into account the reconstruction formulas.<br />

1 - Network Optimization Models for Resource Allocation in Developing<br />
Counter Measures<br />

A military arms race is characterized by an iterative development of measures and<br />
countermeasures. An attacker attempts to introduce new weapons whereas a<br />
defender attempts to develop countermeasures for these weapons. The defender has<br />
to decide which countermeasures should be developed and how much should be<br />
invested in their development. We formulate the problem as a constrained shortest<br />
path problem and demonstrate the potential applicability of this approach.
