2-Stage stochastic programming approach for hub location problem under uncertainty: a case study of air network of Iran
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-08)In this paper 2-stage stochastic programming has been developed for formulating stochastic uncapacitated multiple allocation hub location problem. This problem is studied under three cases. The first, stochastic demand, ... -
A fuzzy multicriteria generation expansion planning model
(Inderscience Publishers, 2011)In this paper, we present a fuzzy multi-objective model for power generation expansion planning problem with uncertainty in objective functions and demand balance constraints. The purpose of the fuzzy generation expansion ... -
A knowledge-based advisory system for statistical quality control
(Taylor & Francis, 1993)Implementation of an effective quality management system requires the ready availability of expert statistical quality control (SQC) practitioners. However, this expertise may be unavailable to many small- and medium-size ... -
A knowledge-based model management system for aircraft survivability analysis
(Elsevier B.V., 1995)For the survivability analysis of a weapon system, an analyst has to consider and choose from a large number of available models the set of models that best fits the study requirements. This paper presents a knowledge-based ... -
A knowledge-based system for sensor selection
(Elsevier, 1989)This paper presents a Knowledge-based system (KBS) developed to allow users, who may not be knowledgeable about sensors, to select sensors suitable for their specific needs. The KBS runs on a micro-computer. The selection ... -
A laminated plate model of an adhesive-bonded taper-taper joint under tension
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1997-10)An analytical model of the strain and stress distributions in a taper-taper adhesive-bonded joint between two composite flat plates has been developed using first-order laminated plate theory. A correction for transverse ... -
A microcomputer-based knowledge system for CAD software selection
(Elsevier, 1987)This paper documents a prototype knowledge system which has been developed to select the most appropriate CAD software based on the user's requirements and preferences. -
A promising security protocol for protecting near field communication devices from networking attacks
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2017)Near field communication (NFC) is vulnerable to numerous networking attacks such as tag manipulation. In this work, a security protocol for the NFC chip is introduced to protect the NFC devices and associated data from ... -
A semi-analytical method for determining the strain energy release rate of cracks in adhesively-bonded single-lap composite joints
(SAGE Publications, 2007-07)A semi-analytical method for determining the strain energy release rates due to a prescribed crack in an adhesively-bonded, single-lap composite joint subjected to axial tension is presented. The field equations in terms ... -
A way cache locking scheme supported by knowledge based smart preload effective for low-power multicore electronics
(American Scientific Publishers, 2012-12-01)Adopting multicore architecture in consumer and bio-inspired electronics is promising to fulfill the growing need of high-performance. However, multi-level caches in multicore architecture require significant amount of ... -
Abnormal myofiber morphology and limb dysfunction in claudication
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-06-01)Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD), which affects an estimated 27 million people in Europe and North America, is caused by atherosclerotic plaques that limit blood flow to the legs. Chronic, repeatedischemiainthe ... -
Accelerated failure identification sampling for probability analysis of rare events
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2016-07)Critical engineering systems generally demand high reliability while considering uncertainties, which makes failure event identification and reliability analysis based on computer simulation codes computationally very ... -
Accounting for patient heterogeneity in nurse staffing using a queueing-theory approach
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-06-30)Evidence from observational studies suggests that inadequate nurse staffing in hospitals and heavy nurse workload may compromise patient safety and quality of care. There are recommended minimum nurse-to-patient ratios for ... -
Achievable data rates and power allocation for frequency-selective fading relay channels with imperfect channel estimation
(Springer, 2012-12-31)In this article, we investigate the information-theoretical performance of a cooperative orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with imperfect channel estimation. Assuming the deployment of training-aided ... -
Achieving overlap of multiple, arbitrarily shaped footprints using rendezvous cones
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2018-06)This paper addresses the problem of achieving the overlap of footprints of unmanned aerial vehicles used for search and surveillance or for establishing communication between remote areas. The need of the footprints to ... -
